By focusing on Medicare in the proposal, Biden is seeking to sharpen a contrast with Republicans and cast himself as a protector of cherished retirement programs — both for his likely re-election campaign and for a looming battle with House conservatives who are demanding steep cuts in federal spending in order to raise the nation’s borrowing limit. The early release of the Medicare proposal also underscores the degree to which Biden has fully embraced the political upside of taxing high earners.

The pressures behind Powell’s statements reveal an economic paradox of sorts: What are seen as good signs for many workers — strong consumer spending, wage growth and low unemployment — are considered bad news for the Fed as it fights inflation. Powell acknowledged that the Fed’s efforts to rein in inflation would “very likely” come at a cost to the labor market.

Saul Martinez for The New York Times 8. Judy Blume is finally getting her chance in Hollywood. For more than five decades, Blume, 85, has been one of America’s most successful authors. Her novels have walked countless young readers through the teenage experience, yet she never received the red carpet welcome from Hollywood when it came to adapting her books into films or television shows — and she tried. But now, [the entertainment industry is finally entering a Blume-aissance](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl6kczP0TmaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8wNy9idXNpbmVzcy9tZWRpYS9qdWR5LWJsdW1lLWhvbGx5d29vZC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3JmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjMwMzA3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTg3MTAyJm5sPWV2ZW5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmcmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTEyNzE0MiZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZAAzwgdk7TTCSlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA). Next month Amazon will release “Judy Blume Forever,” a documentary tracking her career, and Lionsgate will adapt her novel “Are You There God? It’s Me, Margaret” into a feature film. All that was needed, apparently, was for Judy Blume fans to grow up and take powerful positions in the entertainment industry. Julia Gartland for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Lauren LaPenna 9.

Joyce Lee for The New York Times 10. And finally, is cannabis good or bad for sleep? As legal cannabis products have become increasingly available across the country, many Americans have turned to them to solve sleep issues. We asked experts if cannabis actually improves slumber. The research is mixed and limited, the experts said, but there is some evidence that cannabis may indirectly help with sleep by alleviating chronic pain and anxiety. The effects of cannabis on sleep [can also vary based on how much you take, how you consume it and which compounds you use](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRl6kczP0TfaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8wMy8wNy93ZWxsL2Nhbm5hYmlzLXdlZWQtc2xlZXAtYWlkLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTcmZW1jPWVkaXRfbmVfMjAyMzAzMDcmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9ODcxMDImbmw9ZXZlbmluZy1icmllZmluZyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTI3MTQyJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0QgpkADPCB2TtNMJKUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~).
