Political conversations are causing strife in our familyWhen I was in high school and living close to my grandmother, I would try to engage her in political debate, but conversations would all too often turn heated, sour, and sometimes even cruel. But it doesn't mean that we don't talk. We just don't talk about things outside our insular familial universe. "When I call your family — they always call right back," Halmoni tells me earnestly. Often, I feel that I'm being irresponsible by pretending like political conversations don't matter.

Some people could find themselves wrangling with summer travel bills well after Labor Day. To that point, 36% of Americans said they plan to take on debt in order to travel this summer, according to a March survey from Bankrate. The payment methods for summer travel expenses ranged from personal loans (5%) and buy now, pay later services (8%) to borrowing from family and friends (6%). Additionally, 26% of summer travelers said they intend to use a credit card and pay over for the vacation over multiple billing cycles. "The reason that's worrisome is because the average credit card charges more than 20%, which is close to a record high," said Ted Rossman, a senior credit card industry analyst at Bankrate.

But many called the West Bank’s current economic predicament the most difficult yet. Before the war, Mahmoud Abu Issa, 53, was earning over $2,000 a month — an enviable salary in the impoverished West Bank — as a construction worker in Israel. If Palestinian banks want to offer shekel accounts, they must maintain links with Israeli banks and rely on them to process shekel transactions. Since 2017, Israel’s Finance Ministry has issued the waiver indemnifying the Israeli banks, according to Lilach Weissman, a spokeswoman for the ministry.

The Supreme Court on Friday overturned a decades-long legal precedent that has empowered the federal government to regulate the environment and other issues, unleashing a potential threat to President Joe Biden's climate policies. The court overruled the Chevron doctrine, one of the most important principles guiding federal regulation for the past 40 years. Last year, the Supreme Court significantly narrowed how many wetlands EPA can regulate to keep them clean. How did this case end up at the Supreme Court? They argued the Chevron doctrine injures small businesses and individuals who have little power to influence federal agencies.

Twitch creators have begun using generative AI to set up debates with fictionalized versions of famous people and historical figures, he said. "You're going to be able to do that with two cameras," Clancy said of the advances in generative AI. The documentation for the program, which is due to launch in July or August of this year, doesn't make any mention of AI-generated music.

As the nation continues to grapple with the opioid epidemic, the Sackler family had agreed to pay $6 billion to families and states as part of an agreement to wind down Purdue Pharma, the maker of OxyContin. In exchange, the Sackler family would be immunized from future civil liability claims. Those supporting the bankruptcy argued the yearslong process had gone on long enough and was unlikely to yield additional money from the Sackler family. The vast majority of known current opioid victims and their families supported the agreement. But the Justice Department said it was a raw deal for victims – particularly potential future victims.
