The year so far has seen politics center around the federal government reaching its debt ceiling and the continued debate over abortion, with numerous laws being passed by state legislatures and court decisions issued at all levels over the issue with last year's overturning of Roe v. Wade with Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. Political and media attention also has focused on immigration policy, a series of alleged Chinese spy balloons entering US airspace, various candidates entering the race for the following year's presidential election, legal issues surrounding former president Donald Trump and representative George Santos, and the escalation of a feud between Florida governor Ron DeSantis and the Walt Disney Company over the state's Parental Rights in Education Act.
2023 also saw the roots of a global banking crisis arise out of four American regional banks, the two largest being Silicon Valley Bank and First Republic Bank. 2021's inflation surge also continued into 2023, and the Federal Reserve continued to raise its interest rates. Mass shootings in 2023 have also continued in high numbers, with 208 occurring as of May 8 according to Gun Violence Archive.[1]
