QtrendsTwo powerful earthquakes struck Venezuela, killing at least 164 people, with rescuers searching rubble for survivors. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration on several fronts—permitting the end of legal protections for Haitian and Syrian immigrants, tossing a $1.25 million Roundup cancer verdict, and signaling broad expansion of presidential power over immigration. Meanwhile Europe is experiencing a record-breaking heat wave, with France recording its hottest day ever and the UK hitting a new June high.
Two strong earthquakes struck Venezuela, the strongest since 1900, killing at least 164 people. Rescue crews are searching through rubble for survivors across affected areas. The quakes have caused widespread destruction and a mounting humanitarian crisis in the region.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that the Trump administration can terminate Temporary Protected Status for immigrants from Haiti and Syria. The decision affects thousands of residents who have been living and working in the U.S. under these protections. The ruling marks a significant shift in immigration enforcement policy.
The U.S. Supreme Court overturned a $1.25 million verdict for a man who claimed Roundup weedkiller caused his cancer. The ruling significantly scales back future Roundup-related cancer lawsuits. The decision is a major victory for the parent company, Bayer, which has faced thousands of similar claims.
The U.S. Supreme Court is set to issue a series of major decisions that could further expand presidential power over immigration. Cases pending include challenges to Trump's birthright citizenship executive order. The outcomes will define the limits of executive authority on immigration for years to come.
A record-breaking heat wave is gripping Europe, with France recording its hottest day in history and the UK posting a new June temperature record. The extreme heat has forced France to shut down some nuclear reactors and has led to rising death tolls across the continent. The early-season heat wave is raising alarms about climate change impacts.
