The Supreme Court has cleared the way for the Trump administration to begin ending temporary protected status for hundreds of thousands of immigrants.
“For many, the next question is what happens when those protections expire?”
NPR's Hemenobustio reports. "I need to either adjust their status, which is very limited ways of doing so, or they need to leave the country. As they don't, they risk falling out of status, and that could lead to an arrest detention or a deportation, and many also face losing their jobs as companies will not be able to
continue legally employing thousands of workers." NPR's Hemenobustio reporting, the Supreme Court's decision could also clear the way for the Trump administration to return to court and seek to reinstate efforts to end temporary protected status for people from a number of countries. President Trump's push to overhaul U.S. elections is facing push-back on Capitol Hill.
The President says he won't sign any legislation until Congress passes what's known as the "save America Act." NPR's Ashley Lopez reports the measure has little chance of advancing in the Senate.
“Trump has said he believes the "save America Act" would insure Republicans never lose”
another election, as his party faces a potentially bruising election cycle this fall. If passed, the law would prohibit states from registering voters who don't provide proof of citizenship. That includes birth certificates, passports, and some state and tribal IDs. Citizenship is already required to register to vote, and according to experts, non-citizen
voting is extremely rare. The law would also require voter ID for ballots cast both in person and by mail. The bill would also force states to hand over sensitive voter data to the Trump administration. It does not currently have the 60 votes needed in the Senate to overcome a filibuster.

Apple is raising prices amid a shortage of computer memory chips and PR's John Rwitch reports. Apple quietly boosted prices on its website for a range of products, including MacBooks and iPads, in many cases prices went up around 15 to 20%.
“So, for instance, a 14-inch MacBook Pro that cost $1,699 yesterday, according to archived”
web pages, now starts at $1,999. TV 4K is now $1,99 instead of $1,29. For Apple's most popular product at the iPhone, it kept prices flat. The rapid expansion of AI data centers has created a surge in demand for memory and storage leading to a spike in chip prices.
Apple says that's created an unprecedented challenge for the entire consumer electronics industry. Apple says it shielded customers for a while, but the cost of memory chips has reached a point where it needs to start raising prices. Several other major players have already done so, John Rwitch and PR News. Apple is a financial supporter of NPR.
This is NPR. King Charles has become the first British monarch to publish his taxes. The palace also says he and Queen Camilla will no longer make bugging him palace their home. These are part of the King's efforts to make the monarch a more transparent amid scandals involving his brother Andrew and PR's Lauren Flair reports from London.
Next year, Buckingham Palace finishes renovations that cost nearly half a billion dollars,
but the King and Queen say they'll continue living at Clarence House across the street. The palace will remain the ceremonial and operational center of the monarchy and be able to host more tourists and events. Meanwhile, the King's tax bill shows he paid nearly $17 million last year, putting him in the top 100 UK tax pairs. He's not required to pay income or property tax, but his
late mother Queen Elizabeth started voluntarily doing so, and Charles followed. He's published details for transparency, but critics say it's not enough, and want to break down of how these figures were calculated. Tax pair funding for the world is rising next year, mostly for upkeep of palaces and properties. Lauren Flair and PR News London.
The state board of education in Texas is expected to vote today on a required reading list
for more than $5 million public school students.
The list includes stories and passages from the Bible. Supporters say it reflects the role of Christianity in American history. Critics argue it blurs the line between church and state and gives teachers and students too little flexibility over what they read. On Wall Street, down futures are down 51 points of the sour.
