Welcome to Tuesday, July 5th, hotdogs and hamburgers...

Last week, Japan asked nearly 37 million people to use less electricity during a record-breaking heatwave.

The government is urging residents to ration air conditioning and turn off lights and power switches to help with the country’s struggles with power shortages. As temperatures reach 104 degrees Fahrenheit in some regions, experts warn that these record-breaking readings could continue for weeks.

Record-breaking temperatures are being felt worldwide.

How are you beating the heat?

Biden Admin’s Efforts to End the Trump Era ‘Remain in Mexico’ Policy Upheld by Supreme Court

The Supreme Court issued its final ruling of the term on Thursday which upheld the Biden administration’s efforts to terminate the Trump-era Migrant Protection Protocols (MPP), also known as the “Remain in Mexico” policy. 

Known as Biden v. Texas, the case concerned the MPP which took effect in January 2019 under the Trump administration. It required non-Mexican nationals arriving by land at the U.S.-Mexico border to remain in Mexico while they await the results of their removal proceedings, and included a diplomatic agreement with Mexico, which said it would help implement it.
