"Li," from NPR News, I'm Lakshmi, saying.

The U.S. Supreme Court terms ended with a final set of rulings that delivered wins and losses for the Trump administration.

One of the most closely watched was the fate of the longstanding birthright citizenship.

Today the High Court announced it upheld it by vote of 6-3. And pairs Elena Moore reports today's decision rejects President Trump's executive order that denied automatic citizenship to virtually all children born in the U.S. appearance here illegally or temporarily. Trump signed that executive order on his first day back in office last year and has argued

that the Constitution does not ensure birthright citizenship, but that executive order quickly faced legal challenges.

And it was never implemented.

With lower courts instead, saying the move was on constitutional. Now the Supreme Court is backing that up, saying, quote, "Children born in the United States" to parents unlawfully or temporarily present our subject to the jurisdiction of the United States and our citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment's citizenship clause.

And, quote, "Alayna Moore and Pyrenees." "Boters in Colorado are deciding primary elections today that could signal which issues

drive voters in November's midterm elections.

One contest determines who replaces the Democratic outgoing governor, Jared Polis. Primary races are also being held for House and Senate seats as well as state offices. Colorado Public Radio has been to Berkeland has been monitoring voter sentiment heading into the midterm." We heard dissatisfaction with Washington.

Caleb Meesner is 27. He works in construction. He voted for President Trump twice, but doesn't support the direction of the country and how expensive things are. Seems like we have kind of a ruling class that doesn't have to follow any of the rules anymore.

And we just all kind of face the brunt of it. And I don't think that's any way we're supposed to live, that's not the values our country was created on." Bento Berkeland brought us that story. And is really airstrike killed a 23-year-old mother and her one-year-old daughter in Gaza

late Monday.

They're among dozens of people killed in the past week, as Israel increases its attacks

on Gaza despite a ceasefire. Here's NPR as Ana Spaba. The mother and her baby were hit by sharp no-linder, tinted about half an hour away from the targeted site. First, outside a panicful zone that had just been ordered evacuated by the Israeli military

moments earlier, a missile from fighter jet-targeted the vast displacement camp, triggering a massive fire that took four hours to extinguish as around 100 families lost their tents. They're only shelter. These Israeli military did not respond to NPR's request for comment. Earlier that day, another Israeli airstrike hit a tint on the coast in an area where people

sit by the beach to relax, Gaza's health ministry says two people was killed and 27 others were wounded. Israel's military says it targeted a Hamas militant without naming the individual, and a Spaba and Pyrenees, Gaza. It's NPR.

The Justice Department, and more than a dozen U.S. states, have agreed to settle a case with major egg producers over alleged price fixing. PPR Scott Horsley reports egg prices soared in recent years, but have since dropped sharply. Prosecutors had accused the egg companies of artificially bidding up the price of eggs on a national index at a time when eggs supplies were hard hit by an outbreak of avian

flu.

The companies did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to pay more than $3 million to settle

the complaint. They're also donating more than 50 million eggs to food banks than other nonprofits nationwide. The price has peaked more than a year ago, after avian flu wiped out tens of millions of laying hands. Since then, egg farmers have invested heavily in measures to keep their birds safe, and

the laying flock has rebounded. Retail egg prices in May were down, 35 percent from a year ago. Scott Horsley, and Pyrenees, Washington. Hopefully, though the 14th is imploring a breakaway, traditionalist Roman Catholic society, to abandon its plans for consecrating four new bishops without people consent.

The church's first American Pontives sent a letter dated yesterday to the head of the "preasely fraternity of St. Pius X to warn of the spiritual harm," the group risks. Under church law, the bishops directly involved in the consecration could be excommunicated. The dispute heightens fears of a deeper rift in a church that represents more than a billion Catholic members worldwide.

I'm Lakshmi Singh, and Pyrenees. This is our glass. On this American life, when they mean like, it's a good mystery, sometimes about really big things. But most times, the little mysteries are the best.

Our lost and found is currently filled with pants.

I don't know what I've never seen this happen.

This is true. This is true. Mysteries of every size each week, this American life, wherever you get your

Podcast.
