The U.S. Supreme Court's current term is about to end, and the justices are heading into summer by making headlines. Decisions announced Monday will impact presidential power over federal agencies and states' control over the midterm elections.
|
The court blocked President Donald Trump from immediately firing Lisa Cook, a board governor with the Federal Reserve. But it allowed him to fire a Democratic appointee to the Federal Trade Commission. In a third decision announced Monday, the court upheld a state law allowing mailed ballots postmarked by Election Day to be received and counted up to five days later ‒ a blow to Trump's efforts to curb mail-in voting.

How the southern border shaped US history
|
"With every shift in the border has come a shift in consciousness," said Nicholas Natividad, whose family tree branches over a region that now encompasses southern New Mexico, West Texas and Mexico. "The way we relate to food, to the mountains, to the river, to each other."
|
The border there has shifted and changed hands at least four times in the 19th century and a fifth time in the 20th, moving south due to war and treaty, peace talks and purchases. And as America celebrates its 250th anniversary , the border's journey to its current location is the story of the birth of a nation that swallowed up Native American tribes, Spanish descendants and Mexican citizens in its insatiable hunger to grow. It's also the story of a people whose resilience ‒ and quiet resistance ‒ kept their languages, ceremonies and traditions alive.
|
Nicholas Natividad looks across the U.S.-Mexico border between Ciudad Juárez and Sunland Park, N.M., in the Paso del Norte region. A descendant of families who lived through multiple shifts of the border, Natividad studies how generations of Mexican Americans and Indigenous communities have preserved their culture and identity amid changing national lines.

No more 'nonchalant' dating 💞
|
Forget ghosting, situationships, wildflowering, goblintimacy and other toxic dating behaviors: People are embracing "chalance," dating with intention and openness, making the first move, being open about their feelings and putting in the effort to show they care ‒ or being honest about when it's time to part ways.
