Today's Hot Story

The U.S. Supreme Court yesterday allowed the Trump administration to begin enforcing a ban on trans military members. Trump signed an executive order shortly after his second term banned transgender people from serving in the military. The new policy mimics the previous ban established during the president's first term. The Supreme Court allowed the policy to remain original in 2019, but it was reversed when President Biden took office.

• 🎧 NPR's Nina Totenberg tells first Facts that the Supreme Court allows the injunction to proceed immediatelyeven if temporary, the government may prevail in the long run. The order appears to be an order to strengthen the first government by banning transgender people from enlisting and releasing active trans service members. The decision on the injunction will now be sent to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, requiring a review of the policy. The Court of Appeal will attempt to make a decision on the issue, however, it can appeal to the Supreme Court.

India has carried out many strikes on various targets of Pakistan and its controlled territoriesmarking the most extensive military operation in more than 50 years. The Indian military said it attacked "nine locations in Jamu and Kashmir occupied by Pakistan and Pakistan, from which it planned and directed the terrorist attacks on India". The strikes came after India accused Pakistan of being involved in a radical attack in late April, a claim that Pakistan denied the attack. The Pakistani military retaliated by firing on the Indian-owned Kashmir area. It claims to have shot down five Indian aircraft. At least 26 people were killed in Pakistan due to the recent strike, and India said at least three people were killed.

• 🎧 Diaa Hadid of NPR says the location of the strike is importantwith several people taking place deep inside Pakistan, one near the country's second largest city. Michael Kugleman, who wrote for the weekly South Asia summary of Foreign Policy, said the scale and intensity of the recent strikes stood out. Hadid said the problem with the strike is now the death toll. Pakistan may feel it is necessary to fight back to show its people that their army is not weak.

Life advice

This day finally came. Today, TSA will begin executing real ID cards at US airports. The goal behind the law dating back to 2005 is to have a more difficult state-issued ID and ask states to do more to check the authenticity of the details they put forward on the cards. Travelers will need a legally compliant ID to board a domestic flight and access certain federal facilities. The IDS is similar to a regular driver's license and will have golden stars. They need more documentation, such as a valid Social Security number. Clint Henderson, Executive Editor of Travel Magazine molecular,Give Morning version Guidance for some travelers who still don't have a real ID:

• ➡️The two-year "Wiggle Room Period" sentences airport discretion to the airport to conduct more screening for travelers rather than requiring a new ID.
• ➡️Passport, passport card, global portal, Nexus, Fast, Sentri, DoD ID, Green Card, and driver's license from a specific state comply with the law.
• ➡️ Consider flying out of smaller airports. With larger ID training, they will be easier to get TSA agents than larger training.
