Kevin Warsh, chosen by President Donald Trump to lead the Federal Reserve, is expected to pass a key Senate committee vote that will send his nomination to the full Senate for approval. Warsh aims to replace current Fed Chair Jerome Powell, who is leading his last meeting as chair while a recent criminal investigation into him has ended.
Key Facts
Kevin Warsh is President Trump’s pick to replace Jerome Powell as Federal Reserve chair.
The Senate banking committee plans to vote to advance Warsh’s nomination to the full Senate.

Senator Thom Tillis withdrew his opposition after the Department of Justice ended a criminal probe into Powell.

The U.S. Supreme Court will hear a case about President Donald Trump’s plan to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitian and Syrian immigrants. The court will decide if the government properly considered the safety of these countries and if ending TPS was fair.
Key Facts
TPS protects immigrants from countries with dangerous conditions from being sent back.
President Trump’s administration wants to end TPS for about 350,000 Haitians and 6,000 Syrians.
Haitians got TPS after a major earthquake in 2010 and because of ongoing gang violence.
Syrians received TPS due to a civil war that lasted until late 2024.
Immigrant advocates say ending TPS is unfair since these people follow laws and contribute to society.
The Trump administration argues conditions in these countries have improved enough for safe return.
If the court agrees with the administration, protections for immigrants from 17 countries under TPS could be ended.
The Supreme Court will consider if the decision was based on the actual situation or if it was discriminatory.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has proposed changes to remove protections based on gender identity and replace them with rules based only on biological sex (male or female). This would affect access to federally funded shelters and programs, limiting them according to a person's biological sex, not their gender identity. The public can comment on these changes until June 29 before they possibly take effect.
Key Facts
HUD plans to remove terms like “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” from nearly 50 housing regulations and replace them with “sex” defined as male or female.
Service providers could require evidence to confirm a person’s biological sex and no longer have to accept gender identity.
Access to federally funded shelters would be based on biological sex, potentially barring transgender women from women’s shelters.
The changes would undo protections from the 2012 Equal Access Rule and the 2016 update that allowed people to self-identify their gender.
HUD Secretary Scott Turner supports the rule change, aligning with President Donald Trump’s 2025 executive order recognizing only two sexes.
Turner says the change aims to protect the safety of women in shelters and housing.
Advocates for transgender rights oppose the proposal, warning it could harm vulnerable communities and lead to discrimination.
Public submissions on the proposed rule are open until June 29, and the changes have not yet been implemented.

You can have more than one wage garnishment at the same time, but there are laws that limit how much money can be taken from your paycheck in total. Different debts have different priorities, with child support and taxes often taking more of your income than credit card debts. Even with multiple garnishments, the law tries to leave you enough money for basic living costs.
Key Facts
Wage garnishment means a creditor takes money from your paycheck before you get it to pay off debts.
The Consumer Credit Protection Act limits garnishments to 25% of your disposable income or the amount over 30 times the federal minimum wage per week, total for all garnishments combined.
Child support and alimony garnishments have higher limits, often 50-60% of your disposable income.
Federal student loans and tax debts can be garnished without a court order through administrative garnishments.
Credit card and personal loan debts require a court order and are usually last in line for garnishment.
If a high-priority garnishment takes a large portion, lower-priority creditors get less or wait.
State laws may have stricter limits on wage garnishments than federal laws.
Facing multiple garnishments signals serious debt issues, and options like debt settlement or consolidation may help.

Key Facts
The mass shooting happened in February in Tumbler Ridge, British Columbia, killing eight people, including six children.
The shooter, 18-year-old Jessie Van Rootselaar, had conversations with ChatGPT mentioning gun violence.

The legal actions were filed in California and will replace an earlier lawsuit filed in Canada.

A Palestinian flag has flown on top of Dublin’s tallest monument, the 120-meter Spire, since last September.
