UK MP Christopher Pincher, who resigned over groping allegations, has been suspended by the Conservative Party.
The party said he had the whip removed after he was reported to Parliament's behavior watchdog.
Pincher resigned on Thursday, admitting to having "drank far too much" amid reports that he groped two men in a London club.
"I’ve embarrassed myself and other people which is the last thing I want to do and for that I apologize to you and to those concerned," Pincher wrote in his resignation letter to PM Boris Johnson.
Former Housing Minister Kelly Tolhurst has been appointed as his replacement.

🗳 Biden backs filibuster exception to protect abortion access
President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would support an exception to the Senate filibuster to protect abortion access, a shift that comes as Democrats coalesce around an election-year message intended to rally voters who are outraged or deflated by the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Although Democrats already control the Senate by the narrowest of margins, there isn’t enough support within their caucus to change the filibuster rule, which allows any member to block legislation unless it receives 60 votes. But Biden’s statement was the latest indication that, if the party picks up a few more seats in the midterm elections in November, Democrats could seize the opportunity to pass legislation creating a nationwide right to abortion.

🌐 Sprint’s network has been officially retired
The remnants of Sprint’s network have been put out to pasture. As of yesterday, Sprint’s LTE network has been retired by its new owner, T-Mobile. In April 2020, T-Mobile officially took ownership of the company, including all of its spectrum and network towers, which would ultimately be repurposed for 5G. Sprint’s 3G CDMA network was the first to go when T-Mobile started to shut down Sprint’s systems in March.
Sprint was late to LTE after betting first on WiMAX, and as a consequence, its LTE network lagged far behind the competition by the time it was up and running. T-Mobile spokesperson Justin Paulsen confirmed to that the network shutdowns are now underway.

🏥 California first to cover health care for all immigrants
California became the first state to guarantee free health care for all low-income immigrants living in the country illegally, a move that will provide coverage for an additional 764,000 people at an eventual cost of about $2.7 billion a year.
Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a $307.9 billion operating budget that pledges to make all low-income adults eligible for the state’s Medicaid program by 2024 regardless of their immigration status. Nationwide, federal and state governments join together to give free health care to low-income adults and children through Medicaid. But the federal government won’t pay for people who are living in the country illegally.
About 92% of of Californians currently have some form of health insurance, putting the state in the middle of the pack nationally.
