Didi co-founder Liu steps down after decade at helm of Chinese ride-hailing company
Didi Global Inc's co-founder Jean Liu has stepped down from her roles as president and board director of China's biggest ride-hailing firm to take on a new role, according to an internal company memo. Didi, which is seen as China's answer to Uber but has faced prolonged regulatory scrutiny, will no longer have a position of president, it said in the memo seen by Reuters. Liu, a former Goldman Sachs banker who has been at the helm of Didi for a decade, will take on a new role as "permanent partner" and will maintain her current duties including serving as chief people officer, Liu and CEO Will Cheng said in the internal letter sent to employees on Sunday.

The Senate filibuster is a hurdle to any national abortion bill. Democrats are campaigning on it
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, facing a tough reelection fight in one of the races that will determine control of Congress, has made protecting reproductive rights a cornerstone of her campaign, and she's willing to back that up by pledging to change the Senate filibuster rules if Democrats retain control of the chamber. The Wisconsin Democrat said taking that step is necessary to ensure that women in every state -– not the government -– can decide for themselves whether to have an abortion. As part of her campaign, she warns that Republicans might also target the filibuster to impose a national abortion ban if they prevail in November.
