Good morning! Today, we’re covering Justice Alito’s sharp dissent from the Supreme Court’s ruling on deportations, a parental rights lawsuit heading to the nation’s highest court, and how handwriting lights up the brain.
Do you find yourself often checking and comparing information from multiple sources to feel secure that you have a credible grip on a matter?
Because relying on any single source would make yourself vulnerable to bias. You trust your own judgment more than others’.
You are not alone.

What Comes Next After the Passing of Pope FrancisBells rang out from Vatican City declaring that Pope Francis I is dead. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, the Catholic church’s camerlengo—the Vatican official responsible for announcing the pope’s death and overseeing funeral and burial preparations—is now tasked with leading the transition to a new pontificate.
First, Pope Francis’s funeral arrangements will commence, the pope’s apartments will be sealed, and his signet ring bearing the seal of his reign will be destroyed. Second, a multi-day funeral procession will take place at the Vatican, attended by clerical and lay people from all over the world. Third, the College of Cardinals will convene for the Conclave and elect the next pope. The entire process could take around four weeks. Here’s what to expect.
Harvard Sues Trump Administration Over Funding FreezeHarvard University sued the Trump administration, asking a federal court to unfreeze billions of dollars in federal contracts and grants that the administration is withholding because of the Ivy League school’s refusal to end its diversity, equity, and inclusion requirements and combat campus anti-Semitism.
“The consequences of the government’s overreach will be severe and long-lasting,” Harvard President Alan Garber said. “Research that the government has put in jeopardy includes efforts to improve the prospects of children who survive cancer, to understand at the molecular level how cancer spreads throughout the body, to predict the spread of infectious disease outbreaks, and to ease the pain of soldiers wounded on the battlefield.”
The lawsuit came hours after a report that President Donald Trump is planning to withhold another $1 billion from Harvard University, bringing the total withheld in the ongoing dispute with the Ivy League school to $3.2 billion. (More)
China Issues Retaliatory Sanctions on US Congress Members Over Hong KongChina is sanctioning several U.S. Congress members, other government officials, and heads of nongovernmental organizations for what the regime has called “egregious behavior on Hong Kong-related issues.” The sanctions are in response to Washington’s sanctioning of six Chinese and Hong Kong officials in March for their alleged involvement in transnational repression and acts threatening to further erode Hong Kong’s autonomy. The regime provided no details about which U.S. officials are being targeted.
“We must warn the U.S. that Hong Kong is China’s Hong Kong,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Guo Jiakun said while announcing Beijing’s retaliatory sanctions.
Those sanctioned by Washington include Hong Kong Justice Secretary Paul Lam, Hong Kong security office director Dong Jingwei, and former Hong Kong police commissioner Raymond Siu. Sino-American tensions have been escalating in recent weeks, in the wake of U.S. President Donald Trump’s imposition of tariffs on Chinese goods and the Chinese Communist Party’s retaliation with its own tariffs.

Have you ever walked away from meeting someone for the first time feeling refreshed and invigorated? If so, you know the power of a good first impression.
“We have only a few seconds to make a first impression,” said etiquette instructor Bethany Friske. How you use those moments will determine whether that impression is positive or negative. Friske shared her expert tips for adding that extra sparkle to your interactions, making you the most positively memorable person in the room.
Friske recalled immediately wanting to become friends with a woman she saw across a room of 400 people. She cited the woman’s modest and polished attire—as well as the joyful expression on her face—as the reason. Wearing well-pressed, clean, and appropriate attire can give us similar appeal.
Here are some helpful tips to keep in mind for better interactions:
“On time is already late,” it’s often said. That’s true for events such as conferences, performances, or church services, but it’s a different matter if it’s a private dinner party, according to Friske. “If you arrive 15 minutes early, sit in the car until it’s time.” Why? “Because the host can get a lot done in five minutes without somebody being there.” Considering his or her needs will go far in creating a great first impression.
Those who stay engaged in conversation are also most likely to be memorable. “Slip your name in as soon as possible,” Friske said, even if you’ve met someone before, and “give a little key to help them remember your name,” such as a rhyme or word association.
