The Supreme Court rejected President Trump's effort to end birthright citizenship, delivering one of the administration's biggest legal defeats while opening a new political fight in Congress.

We'll also examine the Colorado wildfire that claimed three firefighters, a dangerous heat wave expected to blanket much of the U.S., promising new antiviral research, and the high-stakes Gulf diplomacy driving oil markets lower.

The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship 6-3 Tuesday, striking down Trump's executive order that would have stripped citizenship from children of undocumented immigrants born on US soil. Chief Justice Roberts wrote the 14th Amendment grants automatic citizenship with limited exceptions, citing the 125-year-old Wong Kim Ark ruling as settled precedent.

Trump called the decision "too bad for our Country" on Truth Social and immediately demanded Congress pass legislation ending the practice instead. Justices Thomas, Gorsuch, and Alito dissented — Thomas argued the 14th Amendment applied only to freed slaves and their descendants, not all persons born here.

The Supreme Court ruled against President Trump's executive order seeking to end birthright citizenship for children of undocumented immigrants, handing the administration its most significant constitutional defeat of the term. The president responded within minutes, vowing to push Congress to abolish the principle through legislation.

The ruling preserves a citizenship framework rooted in the 14th Amendment that has stood for more than 150 years. Any legislative attempt to alter it would face steep odds in the Senate and near-certain court challenges of its own.

Three government firefighters died in a Colorado wildfire near the Utah border Tuesday after being trapped by flames that overran their position; two others were hospitalized with severe burns. One of the killed firefighters worked for the new US Wildland Fire Service, which the Trump administration created without congressional approval by drawing from Interior Department agencies.

Days earlier, the administration revived the "10 a.m. policy" — a discredited strategy of fully suppressing all wildfires quickly — abandoned decades ago after studies found it increases long-term fire risk. Critics say Tuesday's deaths are a direct consequence of combining an understaffed new agency with a scientifically rejected approach to wildfire management.

At least 14 children were killed in Lahore Tuesday when the roof of a private tuition centre collapsed in the Kahna suburb, with most victims aged between seven and eleven. Two people were taken into custody as authorities launched a formal inquiry into building conditions and structural failure.

A man's body was found near Liti, 15km northwest of Thessaloniki, as over 100 firefighters battled a fast-spreading Greek wildfire that erupted Tuesday afternoon and grew to a flame wall roughly 5km wide. Dozens of fire engines and seven aircraft were deployed as the blaze continued to spread into surrounding forest by Tuesday evening.

A trillion-dollar Trump defense budget request and a scramble to replenish depleted weapons stockpiles have triggered a state-versus-state contest for hypersonic missile and munitions factories. Governors are dangling tax breaks and land deals to lure prime contractors and the thousands of jobs that follow.

New Jersey Republican Rep. Tom Kean Jr. returned to the House floor Tuesday to disclose he had been treated for depression after a four-month absence in which he missed more than 140 votes. Kean said he entered hospital for testing and "did not believe this would result in a long-term stay," describing depression as "physical, emotional, and difficult to understand until you experience it."

A coalition of states filed suit against the Trump administration over new federal rules imposing work requirements on Medicaid recipients, arguing the regulations exceed what Congress authorized. The plaintiffs say the rollout broke from prior federal guidance and could strip coverage from millions.

The National Weather Service issued extreme heat warnings affecting more than 102 million Americans ahead of the holiday weekend, with temperatures forecast to hit 100–105°F across the Midwest and Northeast on Thursday and Friday. Heat indices could reach 115°F in parts of the Mississippi Valley, with Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, New York City, and the D.C. area all in the danger zone.

What it is: US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner landed in Doha Tuesday for indirect talks with Iran, mediated by Qatar, after weeks of fighting disrupted oil flows through the Strait of Hormuz. A 14-point memorandum of understanding signed June 17 paused hostilities, but Iran confirmed no direct negotiations were taking place — the two sides will communicate only through Qatari intermediaries.

The detail: Hormuz carries roughly 20% of global oil supply — about 21 million barrels a day — making it the most consequential maritime chokepoint on the planet. When Iran threatened closure during the conflict, prices spiked immediately; now markets have priced in a full settlement that diplomats in Doha have yet to confirm.

Why it matters: Brent crude dropped 21% in June alone — its worst monthly performance since March 2020 — as traders bet heavily on a durable resolution still being negotiated in Doha hotel conference rooms. ING strategists warned Tuesday that markets are "treating this temporary ceasefire as a permanent deal," a mismatch that could unwind sharply if talks produce nothing concrete.

What to watch: Qatar has quietly become Washington's most indispensable diplomatic relay — hosting Taliban negotiations, brokering Gaza hostage deals under two administrations, and now channeling messages between the US and Tehran. Whether Witkoff and Kushner leave Doha with a concrete framework this week will determine if oil markets hold steady into Q3 or reprice violently on renewed Hormuz tensions.
