35 ain’t what it used to be when it comes to pregnancy. In fact, some say it may be nearing a “sweet spot.” New CDC data shows that over half of babies born in the US last year were to mothers over the age of 30, and a record number of women had their first child in their 40s.

President Biden announced a new plan Monday to cut student loan debt. It could bring relief for about 30 million borrowers, when combined with the administration’s other actions. The goal is to bring relief to as many of the approximately 43 million US student loan recipients as possible. They have a collective $1.7 trillion in debt.

Today’s the day! Millions of people are expected to take some time this afternoon to watch a rare total solar eclipse across North America. It won’t happen again in the US for another 20 years. Storms and clouds are in the forecast for parts of the US. And even if you’re not in the path of totality, people across the country could see a partial eclipse today.

The sun, moon, and Earth will align perfectly together on Monday to produce a total solar eclipse. The sky will darken, animals will act abnormally and humans might stare at the sky (with approved solar eclipse glasses, of course). But in some parts of the country, weather forecasts are not looking great.

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told voters to “get over yourself” when asked about Americans who are upset about a rematch between former President Trump, 78, and President Biden, 81. While on “The Tonight Show” Monday night, she claimed the differences between the candidates are clear:

An Israeli airstrike killed seven World Central Kitchen (WCK) aid workers traveling in a convoy in Gaza. The charity, started by celebrity chef José Andrés, is temporarily suspending delivery of vital food aid to Gaza.

A person in Texas is being treated for bird flu after being exposed to dairy cattle that health officials suspect are infected with the highly contagious virus. This is only the second ever case of human infection in the US — the first was in 2022. Human infection is uncommon and does not spread easily between people.

Thousands of police officers from New York City and throughout the region honored NYPD Officer Jonathan Diller, who was fatally shot in the line of duty a week ago. The killing by a suspect with nearly two dozen prior arrests is leading to prominent calls to reconsider recent criminal justice reforms. Among the laws being debated.

Squatters’ rights are gone in Florida after Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a new law that will allow property owners to call police and have individuals removed, instead of having to go through a formal eviction process through the court system.

The Biden administration announced yesterday that it will give a Michigan nuclear power plant that stopped operations a $1.5 billion loan to restart. If successful, it will mark the first revival of a nuclear facility in US history, with operations potentially resuming next year.

A container ship hit a major bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday, causing it to collapse in a matter of seconds. Maryland’s governor said many lives were saved because a mayday call from the ship gave officials time to stop vehicular traffic on the bridge. However, some construction workers who were working on the roadway did not get warned in time. First responders were able to rescue two workers, but six others are presumed dead.

Arguments over access to mifepristone, a pill used to end early pregnancies, are set to take place today before the Supremes. It’s a high-stakes case that could impact medical abortions— even in states where abortion remains legal since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022.

Russia experienced its worst terrorist attack in 20 years Friday, as Islamic State (ISIS) terrorists stormed a packed concert hall, opening fire and starting a massive fire which led to the roof’s collapse. As of late Sunday, more than 130 people were confirmed dead.

Big tech got hit with another lawsuit yesterday. This time, it’s Apple. The US Department of Justice, along with 16 state attorneys general, allege the $3 trillion dollar tech behemoth gained and kept control of the smartphone market by stifling competition, “not by making its own products better — but by making other products worse.”

In a move aimed to speed up US electric vehicles sales, the Biden administration finalized the toughest-ever emissions limits on passenger vehicles and light trucks yesterday. The White House goal could lead to EVs accounting for 56% of all new cars sold by 2032, though that is a bit lower than previously more ambitious goals.

The Supreme Court gave a win—at least temporarily—to Texas on Tuesday, as the state fights the US government over immigration law. But then, just after 12amET, the lower court, the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, put the Texas law BACK ON A TEMPORARY HOLD.

The Supreme Court appears ready to side with the Biden administration, after hearing a case Monday focused on the federal government's ability to push social media sites to take posts down.

Americans might see a drop in the cost of buying or selling a home starting this summer. The National Association of Realtors (NAR), which represents 1.5 million real estate agents, agreed on Friday that it will stop requiring that home sellers pay both their broker and a buyer's broker.

Potential TikTok buyers are beginning to emerge as Congress moves a bill that could for a sale of, or ban, the app if signed into law. The first prominent potential bidder speaking out is Steve Mnuchin, an investment banker and former US Treasury Secretary.

That was fast! The House passed a bill that could result in an eventual ban of TikTok in US, that is unless its China-based owner ByteDance sells the social media platform before September 30. It passed the US House of Representatives yesterday in an overwhelming 352-65 vote.
