IT: 🏛️ Senate passes a bill protecting same-sex and interracial marriage, and... Is the U.S. doing enough to assist Iran?
Welcome to Wednesday, November 30th, cyborgs and cybernetics...
The Senate passed the Respect for Marriage Act, legislation that would protect same-sex and interracial marriage.

The House is expected to pass the legislation and then send it to President Joe Biden's desk to be signed into law.
