Chaos eruptedwhen a Trump-backed planto distribute food in Gaza got under way. The 2025 Scripps National Spelling Beewinner will be declaredtonight. The Trump administration filed a notice of appeal minutes after a federal court ruled the president can't use an emergency-powers law to impose tariffs on foreign countries. What it means:The ruling notes that the U.S. Constitution gives Congress, not the presdient, the authority to "regulate commerce with foreign nations." Tariffs were ordered to be halted: The three-judge panel of the United States Court of International Trade unanimously found that the International Emergency Economic Powers Act of 1977, which President Trump invoked to unilaterally enact duties on foreign goods, "does not authorize" the tariffs. "Trump always chickens out":President Trump is no fan of "TACO trade," of an emerging acronymic nickname on Wall Street mocking his on-again, off-again approach to tariffs. What this means for you:The chances of a recession currently stand at about 40%, according to a report released this week. But you won't know when a recession starts because a recession isn't a called such until the downturn has persisted for at least a few months. The town where Arkansas prison escapee and convicted murderer Grant Hardin once served as police chief remains on alert, according to its mayor, who is also the sister of Hardin's victim. Hardin, 56, escaped from the North Central Unit in Calico Rock on May 25, wearing a "makeshift outfit designed to mimic law enforcement," according to the Arkansas Department of Corrections. Hardin had been serving time for the 2017 murder of James Appleton, the mayor's brother, in Gateway and the 1997 rape of a school teacher in nearby Rogers. He was sentenced to 80 years on the combined convictions, according to court records.Hardinremained at largeas of Wednesday night.

With famine imminent after nearly three months of Israeli blockade, thousands of Palestinians stampeded a fenced checkpoint in southern Gaza on Thursday, and Israeli soldiers opened fire, according to Israel's military and the United Nations. Supported by the Trump administration and Israel, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation has pitched its "secure distribution sites," staffed with paramilitary contractors, as the solution to Gaza's humanitarian crisis and Israel's distrust of the U.N.Other aid organizations say its model of militarized aid distribution and its ties to Israelviolate basic humanitarian principles. No grades, no tests and no curriculum: The unschooling educational movement has amassed fascination — and is growing. Even Kourtney Kardashian said sending kids to school felt "so dated" while speaking with her sister during a recent episode of the "Khloe in Wonder Land" podcast. Some parents say their children are thriving in the unschooling environment, fueling their confidence and desire to learn. But not all students find success in unschooling. Some former students say the lack of structure and accountability can lead to educational neglect if parents don't have the resources to make it work.Some kids who were unschooledfeel they were left unpreparedfor adulthood.
