Good morning!🙋🏼‍♀️ I’m Nicole Fallert. Can we survive this record heat?

Quick look at Friday’s news:

Supreme Court is dropping major decisions in one final swoop

The court is dropping the rest of its biggest decisions in one final swoop. Six major rulings related to President Donald Trump and birthright citizenship, LGBTQ+ schoolbooks and online porn will be released in an ultimate decision drop on Friday.

Most anticipated: Whether the court will allow Trump to enforce his changes to birthright citizenship while his new policy is being litigated. The ruling could make it harder for judges to block any of the president’s policies.

Here’s a look at what’s still to come: The court still has to decide the last of three cases brought this year by religious groups. In one case, the justices will say if parents should be allowed to remove their elementary school children from class when storybooks with LGBTQ+ characters are being read.

The court still has to decide the last of three cases brought this year by religious groups. In one case, the justices will say if parents should be allowed to remove their elementary school children from class when storybooks with LGBTQ+ characters are being read. Big news came from the court yesterday: The court sided with South Carolina in its effort to deprive Planned Parenthood of public funding. The 6-3 ruling that Medicaid patients can’t sue over their right to choose their doctor could also limit care options beyond reproductive health care.

The court sided with South Carolina in its effort to deprive Planned Parenthood of public funding. The 6-3 ruling that Medicaid patients can’t sue over their right to choose their doctor could also limit care options beyond reproductive health care. “… Tangible harm to real people.” In her dissent, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson called out the potential impact of yesterday’s ruling on Americans. Nearly half of Planned Parenthood patients nationwide get their health care through Medicaid.

Time off request: Not approved

President Donald Trump directed Republican lawmakers to stay in Washington and skip a planned recess heading into the July 4 holiday if they must, in order to get his signature tax bill to his desk by Independence Day. Trump’s administration said it still expected Congress to meet the ambitious timeline, but the major tax, spending and policy legislative package suffered a blow on Thursday when the Senate’s parliamentarian ruled that several key Medicaid provisions designed to help cajole nervous Republicans into voting yes can’t be included in the bill. Trump and fellow Republicans aim to reduce Medicaid spending by requiring work by able-bodied adults and denying access to non-citizens.

Iran-Israel conflict leaves Iranian Americans feeling helpless

‘Like many in the diaspora, I live in two worlds. One is here in the U.S, where I work, making a living and care for my family. The other is in my mind, always carrying the weight of anxiety for those I love and all the people in Iran who have no escape.’

~ Reza Rajebi, an Iranian-born novelist and physician who now lives in Houston, Texas, said he worries daily about loved ones still living in his homeland. As the conflict between Israel and Iran rests on a fragile ceasefire, Rajebi and other Iranian Americans told USA TODAY about dismay at American involvement and fear for loved ones still in Iran, saying a resurgence in violence could ripple around the world.

Surviving abuse: Cassie Ventura Fine and the unlikely bond with her mother-in-law

Pamela Parker Fine didn’t know much about the woman, best known as Cassie, who later that year would become her daughter-in-law. She knew only that her son was in love, and that Cassie came to support them at the sentencing hearing for a high-profile domestic violence case against a football coach at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Four more years would pass before the two women would learn that they had more in common than either of them wanted to share. Cassie would become the main witness in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex trafficking and racketeering case. Both would stand up to powerful men. Both women walked away from men they loved – men who had hurt them.

‘AWOK’ no more?!

For decades “Anna Wintour OK” has been the coveted signature of approval from Vogue’s editor-in-chief. But now Anna Wintour, 75, will step down this year and the magazine will seek a new head of editorial content as part of a different organizational structure adopted four years ago. The style icon, known for her stern management style and iconic A-frame bob, will stay on as Condé Nast’s chief content officer and Vogue’s global editorial director. Since her start at Vogue in 1988, Wintour’s influence on style extends far beyond magazine pages.
