* Longtime activist Doris Haddock died Tuesday at age 100, CBS News notes. "Granny D" had walked across the country to push for changes to campaign finance laws when she was 89.
* President Obama put immigration, climate change, and trade policy at the top of his to-do list this week, signaling to his Democratic core that he hasn't forgotten about his campaign platform, Roll Call writes.
