Summary

Today’s Headlines: Flash floods hit Durham, North Carolina for the third time this week, killing six people after the Eno River surged to 26 feet; residents say they received no emergency alerts, and many lack flood insurance. A federal judge temporarily blocked Trump’s birthright citizenship order, applying a narrow loophole allowed by the Supreme Court to protect children affected while legal challenges proceed. Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil is suing the Trump administration for $20 million, alleging false imprisonment during recent protests. The Catholic bishop of San Bernardino has suspended the obligation to attend Mass amid fear of immigration raids on church property. Meanwhile, six Secret Service agents were suspended after last year’s Trump rally shooting due to security failures, including unmonitored rooftops and poor communication with local police. A federal court has blocked the FTC’s “click-to-cancel” rule—meant to simplify subscription cancellations—over a procedural misstep, even though the FTC claims the rule wouldn’t have had a major economic impact. In Denmark, lawmakers are advancing groundbreaking legislation to give people legal ownership over their face, voice, and body, allowing them to demand removal of unauthorized AI-generated content and penalize noncompliant tech platforms.
