The U.S. Supreme Court will now weigh arguments over the future of birthright citizenship.
“Today, a majority of justices, including some who President Trump nominated, seem skeptical”
about the administration's effort to limit the constitutional provision. But NPR's Kerry Johnson reports the outcome remains far from certain. President Trump issued an executive order on day one that would end citizenship to babies born to people who are in the country illegally, or hear to work or visit on a temporary basis.
If the Supreme Court agrees that order could affect 250,000 babies, born in the U.S. each year, and potentially be used to help revoke the citizenship of many others born earlier. Trump attended for the solicitor-general's arguments, but left as attorneys to seal your wrong-made her case for people challenging his order. While told the justices to agree with the President would radically rewrite the Constitution and, up and more than 150 years
of settled law, a decision is expected near the end of the Supreme Court term this summer, Kerry Johnson and PR News. President Trump is expected to address the nation about the Iran War to 9 at 9 Eastern.
“The conflict, the U.S. and Israel began against the Islamic Republic is in its fifth week.”
Presidents of U.S. troops are stationed in the region. Trump now says the Iranian regime is relenting, but that appears to be very much in dispute, and PR's Deepa Shiveram has more. On social media, Trump said Iran's new leader asked the U.S. for a ceasefire.
The President said he would consider it if the straight-of-form move, the critical route
for oil, was opened. Until then, Trump said the U.S. would continue its attacks on Iran. But Iran's foreign ministry called Trump's comments saying that Iran asked for a ceasefire "false and baseless." Trump has said the war, which has gone on for a month, should end in the next two to three
weeks. Deepa Shiveram and PR News, the White House. The food and drug administration approved another obesity pill today, this one from drug maker Eli Lilly, and PR's Sydney Lepkin reports on how this medicine is different. Eli Lilly's new pill is called "Findale."
Although this is the same company behind Zepound, the blockbuster injectable obesity medicine and Eli Lilly decided not to take Zepound to main ingredient and make it in pill form. Instead, the company developed a new ingredient, or for Glippron. Daniels Kavronsky, the company's chief scientific and medical officer, says until now, all of these GOP-1 drugs have been peptides, meaning they need to be taken as injections
or as a pill with restrictions. Make something as simple as possible? That means we had to rely on more complicated science. Lilly hasn't announced a list price yet, but it says people with commercial insurance could pay as little as $25 a month, and for people paying cash, the lowest dose will
cost $149 a month. City Lepkin and PR News. You're listening to, and PR. Artemis two astronauts are heading to the launch pad for a historic trip around the moon and back.
NASA is preparing to launch four people from Florida's Kennedy Space Center for the first lunar mission in 54 years.
Never before has a black man or a woman flown on such a mission, but PR's KD-Riddle reports
lately NASA has not been talking much about these firsts. When the crew was first announced a few years ago, NASA officials were proud to highlight these achievements. But that was before President Trump returned to office in signed executive actions, targeting diversity, equity, and inclusion efforts across federal agencies.
And then NASA has removed language from their website, celebrating the cruise diversity. AJ Link is from the group Black and Astro.
“I think it's really important to explicitly highlight the inclusion of not just Black folks”
but other marginalized folks I've been left out of the industry, and to back away from that or to erase that, I think is wrong. After this mission, NASA is planning for another, possibly returning to the moon's surface. KD-Riddle and PR News. Sure she knows not everyone's suite on its erases products these days, but going back
to basics. Brad Reese, whose grandfather invented Reese's peanut butter cups, didn't like it when her sheet took the cost-saving measure of replacing milk chocolate and peanut butter with cheaper ingredients he made its feelings known in a public letter on Valentine's Day. Well today, her sheet said it will go back to classic recipes for all Reese's products
starting next year. The Dow is up, 324 points, it's NPR News. Iran, Lebanon, Israel, Gaza, with conflict unfolding in so many places, first-hand reporting
