The Short List

Sat Jun 1 2024

 

John Riley | Audience Editor

With summer heat ramping up, America's homeless will suffer the most. Inflation is jacking up the price of your favorite fast-food meal. And Gen Z is going wild for color analysis videos on TikTok.

πŸ‘‹Good morning, Short List tribe! I'm John Riley, here again with great stories from USA TODAY. Let's get started.

But first: Does lemon water help you lose weight?πŸ‹ The internet really wants to know.

Trump is now a convicted felon. Can he still run for president?

⚖ Donald Trump is the first former president convicted of a crime in U.S. history, but it won't stop him from running for president again. His conviction on Thursday does not bar him from seeking a return to the Oval Office in the meantime, even if his possible sentence makes that more difficult. And even if he does receive a jail time sentence in July, he will probably push it off until an appeal is resolved.

Homeless facing near-record summer heat

🌑️☀️Javier Velez has been homeless ever since Hurricane Ian blew the roof off his Fort Myers, Florida, home and filled it with more than 4 feet of water in 2022. He's now in New Jersey, living in his truck. "I'm probably just going to park under trees and keep the doors open to stay cool," Velez, 60, said. Forecasters warn  hotter than average temperatures this summer will take a heavy toll on unhoused populations.

Color analysis is having a moment on TikTok

🌈Color analysis, or the process that reveals which colors make your face look best and which ones you should avoid, dates back to the 1970s. But it's having a moment on TikTok right now, thanks to Gen Z, who are just discovering it. USA TODAY's Charles Trepany decided to give color analysis a whirl himself – and was shocked at the results.
