Just outside London's borders lies an English county filled with city amenities and laidback village vibes. Essex, which sits in the southeast of England along the North Sea, is the lifelong home of Queenie Porter, managing director of sports drink company Wow Hydrate. The company, which has partnered with high-profile sports names like Manchester United and Tyson Fury, is also headquartered in the county. "You have the best of everything," said Porter in an episode of CNBC's new travel series, Downtime London. When Porter isn't busy juggling running a business with several board roles, she likes to spend her downtime around Essex.

The Supreme Court heard two other cases this term concerning the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., writing for the majority, said Mr. Trump had immunity for his official acts. Two of the four charges against Mr. Trump are based on that law. After the appeals court ruled against Mr. Trump, he asked the Supreme Court to intervene. At the argument, several of the conservative justices did not seem inclined to examine the details of the charges against Mr. Trump.

AdvertisementViewers seemed to agree that former President Donald Trump won the debate, even though he also didn't articulate himself very well. McCook said Biden also takes time to express his thoughts in speech, due to his lifelong stutter, which didn't help his optics. Max Burns, a Democratic strategist, said on X that Biden needs to get out to rallies to "push back against the stiff and meandering image he portrayed on Thursday."

☆ Opinion: Don’t underestimate moms ahead of the 2024 election

Put another way, this isn’t going to be an “abortion” election or an “economy” election: 2024 is going to be the mom election. That decline is largely attributed to one key cost: child care. Both have since lapsed, leaving many families to teeter on (or fall off) a “child care cliff.”In 2024, the cost of child care — the cost of motherhood — has become untenable. They don’t see “motherhood issues,” such as child care and paid leave, as substantive, economic issues worth fighting for. For decades, moms have been divided — working moms versus stay-at-home-moms, single moms versus coupled moms, Moms for Liberty versus Moms Demand Action.

You know you’ve touched a nerve with progressive activists when they tell you not just that you’re wrong but that you’re on the other side. Such is the fate of any old-school liberal or mainstream Democrat who deviates from progressive dogma. New York magazine’s liberal political columnist Jonathan Chait was accused of lending “legitimacy to a reactionary moral panic” for critiquing political correctness. But the goal and the effect is to narrow the focus of acceptable discourse by Democrats and their allies. If liberals are denounced for “punching left” when they express a reasonable difference of opinion, potentially winning ideas are banished.

The release was a stunning development at the Supreme Court, which usually safeguards the release of its opinions. The abortion case was considered among the most significant of the current term that is winding down ahead of the July 4 holiday. A Supreme Court spokeswoman confirmed that a “document” was “inadvertently and briefly uploaded” to the court’s website. The decision came days after the Supreme Court unanimously rejected an effort by anti-abortion groups to limit access to the abortion pill mifepristone. In January, the Supreme Court agreed to decide the case and allowed the law to take effect while it did so.

CNN —Wild African elephants may address each other using individualized calls that resemble the personal names used by humans, a new study suggests. These elephants learn, recognize and use individualized name-like calls to address others of their kind, seemingly without using imitation, according to the study published Monday in the journal Nature Ecology and Evolution. Caregiver rumbles are used by an adolescent or adult female toward a calf she is caring for, according to the study. All the elephants could be individually identified by the shape of their ears, as they had been monitored continuously for decades, according to the study. The study authors were not able to conclusively determine whether different elephants used the same name to refer to the same individual, or if they addressed the same individual with different names.
