Live from MPR News, I'm Jial Snyder, following the U.

stay to reject President Trump's attempt to restrict a birthright citizenship.

How speaker Mike Johnson says Congress may have to deal with it, saying the 14th amendment

is being abused by people coming to the U.S. to have children. It's become a tourism, birthing tourism, they call it, you know, a trend where people would just come and you just come on to the soil and have your child and then they're able to avail themselves of the welfare state and everything else. Justice Department issued a statement Tuesday saying it's directing federal prosecutors

to prioritize investigations of so-called birthtoorism schemes. The director posted on social media came after the Supreme Court issued at six to three decision striking down President Trump's day one executive order. Tuesday's primary elections in Colorado voters chose Democratic Socialism. A lot of curls over longtime housing comment Diana DeGat, who has represented her

congressional district that includes Denver for 30 years, here else's latest progressive

candidate, claim victory over a Democratic incumbent. Shaping up to be a brutal fourth of July for tens of billions of Americans, a heat way spreading from the Midwest to the East Coast.

In New York, it's hottest holiday and more than a decade, reporters Steve Castembaum

has more. With temperatures expected near or above 100 degrees over the next few days, Mirza Romoudani put the city's heat emergency plan into effect. If the forecast holds, this could be the hottest fourth of July since 2010. The dangerous heat comes at a busy time in New York with World Cup crowds here dozens

of tall ships parading in sale to 50 on Friday and Saturday and the fourth of July fireworks show, which usually draws millions of people. It is of immense concern given that too often the heat is something that is underestimated. The city is opening dozens of cooling centers and setting up drinking water stations. The mayor urged New Yorkers to look out for folks who seem like they're struggling in

the heat. For NPR news, I'm Steve Castembaum in New York. Americans would like a trusted health care provider or who often turned a social media or AI for health information, more likely to believe vaccine mess those are among the findings

of a new poll for the non-partisan research group, KFF, here's in Paris, Maria Cadoy.

At a time when vaccination rates are sliding in the U.S., and measles cases are rising, the poll found that several common vaccine myths remain pervasive. For example, at least three in ten parents said the false claim that the MMR or measles mumps in rebel vaccine causes autism is probably likely true. Liz Hamill of KFF says that belief was strongest among parents who skipped or delayed vaccines for their kids.

So, there's a big correlation there between the decisions people are making and their views on some of these vaccine myths. Overall, the poll found at least half of American adults were not sure what to believe when it. This is NPR news, with the humanitarian crisis unfolding in Venezuela following last week's

back-to-back earthquakes, a group's are warning that the country's health care system is at its breaking point. Damaged hospitals are overwhelmed at thousands of people have been displaced, the government says that death toll now tops 1900. Anthropics says the U.S. government has lifted export controls on two of its most advanced

AI models. NPR is on rule, which reports this comes just weeks after the company took them offline. When the government said it was a national security risk to let foreigners use them. Anthropics said on the social media platform, the Commerce Department has lifted export controls on its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models.

It says it'll begin restoring access on Wednesday. The Commerce Department did not respond to an email request for comment. Anthropics pulled down Fable and Mythos after the Trump administration imposed export restrictions on them earlier this month. Those restrictions banned foreigners from using the models, including foreign nationals working

for Anthropics. The Trump administration has been increasing its oversight of new AI models, asking to vet lists of companies granted early access to cutting edge AI. It wasn't immediately clear why it decided to roll back the export restrictions on Anthropics models, but the two sides had been in talks to resolve the issue.

John Rooitch and PR news. The U.S. men's national soccer team preparing to play Bosnia, hurts to go over none the game later today, around a 32 matchup, star player, Christian Policix as he is fit to start after playing off the bench in last week's loss against Turkey.
