 1. **The Senate’s No. 2 Democrat will not seek reelection in 2026, ending a 44-year congressional career**. Dick Durbin’s decision opens a rare Senate seat in solidly Democratic Illinois and a high-ranking leadership spot. “In my heart I know it’s time to pass the torch,” Durbin said.

-2. **A U.S. citizen with a learning disabilities, who cannot read or write and has trouble speaking, was held by immigration authorities for 10 days after he allegedly said he illegally entering the U.S. and identified himself as a Mexican citizen**. Jose Hermosillo was arrested in Tucson after approaching a Border Patrol agent for help, then mistakenly signed a statement saying he was a Mexican national. A judge dropped the case once Hermosillo’s birth certificate was provided, but DHS has continued to justify the detention.

 3. **Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is creating a national autism registry using private medical records pulled from federal and commercial sources**. The National Institutes of Health confirmed it is gathering prescription histories, genetic data, insurance claims, and even fitness tracker information to support Kennedy’s promise to uncover the cause of autism – a claim many scientists call unrealistic and harmful. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said up to 20 research teams will get access to the data, though records will be anonymized and restricted to aggregated use. Kennedy has promised answers by September, though NIH says it could take at least a year to release initial findings.

 4. **The Trump administration plans to eliminate the 988 suicide hotline’s specialized support for LGBTQ youth**. The program currently receives around 2,100 daily contacts and has served over 1.3 million since 2022. Mental health experts warn that ending these services will increase suicide risk among LGBTQ youth, who already face higher rates of mental health challenges. The plan still requires congressional approval.

 5. **A federal judge blocked the Trump administration’s effort to dismantle Voice of America, Radio Free Asia, and the Middle East Broadcasting Networks, ordering the government to rehire staff and resume funding**. Judge Royce Lamberth said the administration’s shutdown attempt violated legal mandates for independent public broadcasting. His ruling followed a lawsuit led by VOA journalist Patsy Widakuswara, which accused the Trump administration of silencing the outlet in violation of the First Amendment. The court found that the administration acted without a clear plan, calling the shutdown "arbitrary and capricious." The ruling does not apply to Radio Free Europe, which filed a separate case.

The move comes following pressure from Trump, who is suing CBS for $20 billion over an edited interview with Harris, and as Paramount seeks federal approval to sell the company to Skydance. Owens opposed settling the lawsuit, which legal experts called baseless, and said CBS executives had added oversight that compromised editorial freedom. “I am stepping aside so the show can move forward."
