On average, hot nights cost people about 56 hours of sleep per year, according to a new analysis from the research group Climate Central.
The US has now launched four rounds of strikes on Iranian military sites, and Iran is threatening to block the Bab El Mandeb Strait — a chokepoint that could halt Middle East oil exports entirely. Trump also walked back a proposed 20% fee on Hormuz shipping after Gulf allies pushed back.
After an ICE officer shot and killed a Colombian national in Maine — the second such deadly shooting in barely a week — the Trump administration ordered ICE to halt most vehicle stops. DHS policy bars use of deadly force solely to prevent flight unless the person poses a significant threat, but a former ICE chief counsel notes the threshold is always judged from the officer's perspective.
The House passed the Sunshine Protection Act on Tuesday, voting to lock the US into daylight saving time year-round. States with existing exemptions can still opt for standard time, but for most Americans, the seasonal clock change could soon be history — if the Senate agrees.
A federal judge has temporarily blocked the Trump administration's visa ban on foreign nationals working in online content moderation, ruling the plaintiffs are likely to win their First Amendment case. Independent tech researchers sued in March, arguing the ban was designed to silence dissenting views, not combat censorship.
The Writers Guild of America filed a lawsuit Tuesday seeking to block Paramount's $81 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, warning the deal would devastate movie and TV writers. A coalition of 12 states led by California independently moved to stop the same merger the day before.
The optimal sleeping temperature is in the 50s Fahrenheit — and climate change is making that harder to find. A new Climate Central analysis finds hot nights already cost the average person 56 hours of sleep per year, and lead scientist Christina Dahl says more than 10% of that loss is directly tied to burning fossil fuels.
