Lower court injunction overturnedThe Supreme Court has sided with the Trump administration, allowing federal immigration authorities to continue enforcement raids in Southern California that had previously been blocked. The decision overturns a July 11 injunction issued by U.S. District Judge Maame Frimpong, who had found that the government’s actions likely violated the Fourth Amendment, which protects against unreasonable searches and seizures. Lawsuit alleges profiling and aggressive tacticsThe legal challenge contended that masked, heavily armed federal agents targeted people based on race, ethnicity, or the way they spoke, with some describing the encounters as sudden and forceful, akin to kidnappings.

Volkswagen says it is close to striking a tariff deal with the US after Donald Trump’s import levies cost the company billions. CEO Oliver Blume said the 27.5% tariffs on European cars and parts, imposed in April, have hit the group’s balance sheet by “several billion euros” this year. While the US has agreed to cut the rate to 15%, Blume warned it would still “be a burden” on Europe’s largest carmaker, which owns Audi, Seat and Porsche. VW is pushing for a separate deal by pledging “massive” US investment, potentially including local Audi production and exports from American plants.…

This Sunday night, Europe will witness a striking celestial event: a total lunar eclipse, often called a “blood moon.” For 82 minutes, the Earth will block sunlight from reaching the moon, leaving only red-filtered light to give it its dramatic hue. Throughout history, blood moons have carried deep symbolism. In ancient Babylon, China, and Central America, they were feared as omens of war, disaster, or the fall of rulers. In parts of West Africa, such as among the Batammaliba in Togo and Benin, they are instead seen as a chance for renewal, with communities reconciling disputes to “restore balance” between…

A study by the Walton Family Foundation and Gallup found six in ten teachers used AI tools during the 2024-2025 school year. On Tuesday, First Lady Melania Trump unveiled the Presidential AI Challenge. The program encourages students from…
