Live from NPR News, I'm trial Snyder.
Tuesday before a joint meeting of Congress.
“I want to congratulate Charles on having made a fantastic speech today at Congress. He got”
the Democrats to send. I've never been able to do this.
I'm speaking last night at a state dinner at the White House for King Charles and Queen Camilla. Charles is to address Charles, Charles is addressed to a joint meeting of Congress. It did not shy away from divisive topics like NATO, the war in Ukraine and the environment. But the speech had lawmakers from both sides of the aisle rising to applaud a rare moment in a divided Congress as Imperial Sam Greengloss reports.
Ingrid toward King George III helped unite disparate colonies. 250 years later, King Charles III had seemed to remind a polarized Congress at least briefly what its members share among themselves. The very principle on which your Congress was founded, no taxation without representation.
“Was it once a fundamental disagreement between us? And at the same time, a shared democratic”
value, which you inherited from us? Another common principle, the King said, is subjecting executive power to checks and balances. A point not lost on a Congress that is repeatedly seated authority. Even after that line, many lawmakers jumped to their feet to applaud a few remains seated. Same Greengloss and PR news, Washington.
The details will be in New York City today. He and Queen Camilla are to visit the 1911 Memorial
in Manhattan and meet with first responders and victims families. President Trump could
go forward with nasty deportations of people living legally in the U.S. if he prevails in two cases before the Supreme Court today. And PRs need a Tottenberg report said at issue, is the temporary protected status program known as TPS. Congress enacted TPS in 1990
“to allow fully vetted and eligible individuals to live and work legally in the United States”
if they cannot return to their own countries because of natural disasters, armed conflicts and other extraordinary conditions. Every president has embraced the law since then except Trump. He's trying to get rid of it. And today, the Supreme Court here's arguments in two test cases. One from Haiti, where a devastating earthquake killed over 300,000 people in 2010, leaving to this day, roving gangs, cholera epidemics, and no functioning government.
Nina Tottenberg and PR news Washington. The Justice Department is again going at her former FBI director Jim Komi this time over a social media photo that prosecutors alleged constituted a threat against President Trump. A grand jury in North Carolina and Dited Komi Tuesday, a Virginia judge throughout the first case against Komi, saying the prosecutor was not legally appointed. This is in PR.
As to whether service still has a tornado watch and effect in the Dallas Fort Worth area following severe storms in North Texas, where a curfew is an effect in the city of
mineral wells. powerful winds ripped roofs of homes and flattened buildings there late Tuesday.
Officials say no fatalities have been reported, but at least two people were sent to a hospital that Texas storms included at least one unconfirmed tornado. In Georgia, officials say fire crews have made progress, combating two large destructive wildfires. From Emberation W. A. B. E. Alec Selma reports the highway 82 blazed grew quickly fueled by dry windy conditions with little humidity and has destroyed at least 87 homes. Churches and other facilities nearby
have opened their doors to help those forced to evacuate. Containment had lingered in the single digits for about a week. Then today officials announced the fire was more than 30% contained and more good news could be on the way as a chance of rain is set for the area of the rest of the week. Meantime about 70 miles south of the highway 82 fire, the Pineland fire is now more than 20% contained up from about 10% on Monday. That blazed too is threatening
hundreds of homes and has forced evacuations. Air quality still remains a concern for large parts of the state. For NPR News, I'm Alex Helmick in Atlanta. Wall Street's attention will likely be on the Federal Reserve later today. The feds interest rate meeting likely Jerome Powell's final is fed chair the Senate Banking Committee is to vote today on Kevin Worsh's nomination to succeed him. This is NPR News.
