As regiões central e leste dos Estados Unidos enfrentam nesta quinta-feira (2) uma onda de calor que deve persistir até o fim de semana e impactar tanto a Copa do Mundo quanto as comemorações dos 250 anos da independência do país. A França, que enfrenta o Paraguai no sábado (4), teme que as altas temperaturas favoreçam o adversário, mais acostumado a atuar sob calor intenso.

After earning my college diploma in my early 20s, I felt as if I’d reached the apex of learning. It’s comical to remember this all these years later. It’s as if I had imbued a college diploma with magical power, more a talisman conveying special status than a piece of paper noting an accomplishment worthy […]

A new proposed rule would require groups that intervene in state utility dockets to disclose all funding sources that originate outside of Louisiana. The rule appears to address a recent narrative in conservative circles that so-called “green dark money” is driving opposition to data centers and carbon capture projects.

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for our free weekly newsletter to get the latest.The Trump administration is asking a federal judge to quickly lift her recent ruling against major provisions of a presidential executive order on elections, arguing in an appeal that the court’s action will effectively prevent the government from putting new voting restrictions in place before the November election.Last week, U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani halted President Donald Trump’s efforts to create centralized lists of adult citizens and give the U.S. Postal Service unprecedented authority over who can vote by mail. Her 37-page ruling concluded that the president did not have the constitutional authority to regulate state elections, as his March executive order tried to do.The executive order directed the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and Social Security Administration to create a nationwide list of verified U.S. citizens over 18, and thus presumably eligible to vote in federal elections. It also called on the U.S. Postal Service to create a system to handle and accept mail-in ballots only from voters on preapproved lists.Talwani’s order prevents the federal government from enforcing those provisions of the order against the 24 jurisdictions (23 states and the District of Columbia) whose attorneys general and governors brought the lawsuit in federal court in Massachusetts. The list includes most Democratic-led and swing states, including Arizona, California, Michigan, Nevada, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin.This week, the Trump administration appealed Talwani’s ruling to the First Circuit Court of Appeals and said it is still proceeding with its efforts to set up the new system for the rest of the states. But it warned that the judge’s order will make it impossible for the U.S. Postal Service to create a bifurcated system for the November election, even if the administration ultimately prevails on appeal. Government attorneys asked Talwani to lift her ban by Monday.The request for a quick decision suggests that the Trump administration may be trying to speed things up so the case reaches the U.S. Supreme Court as soon as possible.“Operationally, it would not be possible for us to put a two-tiered system in place where one set of rules apply to the ballot mail of the Plaintiff States, and another applies to the remaining states,” Steven Monteith, the Postal Service’s chief customer and marketing officer and executive vice president, said in a court filing. “Doing so would cause operational confusion and significantly increase the complexity and efficiency of implementing any final rule.”But the Trump administration’s nationwide efforts to use the Postal Service to regulate who gets ballots also hit a separate legal roadblock this week when another federal judge in Washington, D.C., ruled that the executive order violates a years-old agreement requiring the federal government to ensure voters who request mail-in ballots get them in time to ensure they can be counted.U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan concluded that the Trump administration’s plans to send ballots only to voters on preapproved lists breached a 2021 agreement between the Postal Service and the NAACP meant to ensure that the agency prioritized ballot delivery. In contrast to Talwani’s ruling, Sullivan’s decision applies nationwide.“These proposed rules directly undermine commitments that the Postal Service made to ensure mail-in ballots are delivered and counted,” said Anthony Ashton, senior associate general counsel for the NAACP, in a statement.The U.S. Postal Service and Department of Homeland Security did not respond to requests for comment.Dion Nissenbaum is Votebeat’s senior national reporter and is based in Houston.

Sign up for Chalkbeat Newark’s free newsletter to get the latest news about the city’s public school system delivered to your inbox.This story was first published by the New Jersey Monitor.New Jersey lawmakers approved a plan to strengthen school-based mental health services, connect more districts with behavioral health providers in their communities, and eventually link them all with a centralized team of psychiatrists. Gov. Mikie Sherrill outlined one aspect of the program in her budget speech in March and is expected to sign the legislation, which passed both houses of the legislature Tuesday with near unanimous support. Her office declined to comment Wednesday. The $60.7 billion budget bill she signed late Tuesday includes $8 million for a new program dubbed the School-Based Partnerships for Access and Resilience, or Spark, which will be launched as a pilot program before expanding to all of New Jersey’s 2,500 schools within the next two years. The plan also has $40 million for NJ4S, the New Jersey Statewide Student Support Services program, a four-year-old initiative that has allowed nearly half the state’s schools to partner with regional mental health organizations that provide school-based counseling, medication and referrals, and help parents navigate the behavioral health system. “The SPARK and NJ4S programs will provide critical resources to address our youth mental health crisis, giving parents, educators, and, most importantly, our children the tools they need to thrive,” Sen. Angela McKnight (D-Hudson) said in a statement following the budget vote. Sherrill had called for eliminating NJ4S — which has vocal critics — in favor of Spark, but school officials and mental health organizations urged her to reconsider. The legislation permits both programs and seeks to knit them together and scale best practices statewide. Morgan Thompson, CEO of Prevention Links, a Union County mental health organization that works in several districts through the NJ4S program, thanked state officials for their commitment to mental health and for adopting an approach that builds on the existing system.“Strengthening partnerships between schools and experienced community-based providers will help create learning environments where students can thrive while ensuring they have access to high-quality behavioral health supports both inside and outside the classroom,” Thompson told the New Jersey Monitor in a text message. “Looking ahead, sustained, long-term investment will be critical so these services are available predictably and reliably in every community, giving schools, families, and providers the stability needed to effectively meet the evolving needs of New Jersey’s young people,” she said. Under the bill, the state Department of Children and Families will work with the Department of Education to create guidelines around Spark and select up to 10 school districts for an 18-month pilot program. The department will also need to select one mental health app that kids in grades K-12 and their parents can use to learn about existing services. Districts in the Spark program will be linked with the DCF’s child psychiatry collaborative, a decade-old partnership that connects mental health professionals with pediatricians, often the first to see children in crisis. The collaborative — which received a separate $12.8 million in state funds, as it has in past years — will provide school-based consultations, referrals, medication management, support for parents, and training and guidance for educators under the pilot. After 18 months, if no major problems are identified in a progress report to be prepared for the governor, the Spark program will expand to all districts statewide, according to the legislation, which allows existing providers to be integrated as it expands. The bill also requires all districts in New Jersey to have either a designated employee to provide school-based mental health services, or an agreement with a healthcare provider in the community, or to be part of NJ4S. Even with the state funding, the statewide rollout could be slowed by behavioral health workforce shortages and the cost to schools, given that school psychologists make close to $100,000 annually, according to a fiscal analysis by non-partisan legislative staff. A second bill calls on DCF to evaluate the child psychiatry collaborative operation, recommend steps to strengthen the behavioral health workforce, and expand data collection around children’s mental health services. Hospitals in New Jersey reported treating more than 50,000 pediatric mental health patients annually, but specifics are scarce.The Assembly approved that bill unanimously Tuesday, but it has yet to be posted for a Senate vote and with the Senate not returning until the fall its future is unclear. In addition to codifying Sherrill’s school mental health vision, the two bills address concerns flagged in a recent report from the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, which documented how, despite strengths like the psychiatry collaborative, the state’s system is failing kids and frustrating parents. At least 1 in 5 children ages 3 through 17 have been diagnosed with a mental health condition, according to the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Some 40% of high school students said they felt hopeless or depressed at some point in the last year, CDC found, and half as many said they seriously considered suicide, while 9% reported attempting to kill themselves.

Mediante este acuerdo, Manuel Gavira, líder de la formación de extrema derecha, asumirá la consejería de Turismo, Administración Local y Justicia, un cargo que además tendrá rango de vicepresidenciaJuanma Moreno, investido presidente de Andalucía tras un pacto con Vox : “¿La prioridad nacional? Eso existe ya en nuestra administración” Apenas 30 minutos antes de la votación de investidura de Juanma Moreno, los líderes del PP y Vox en Andalucía han sellado su acuerdo de gobierno que consagra la 'prioridad nacional', un concepto de la extrema derecha que el PP ya había abrazado en Extremadura, Aragón y Castilla y León. Durante la campaña, llegó a definir la 'prioridad nacional' como “literatura” de Vox para su electorado y, también, como un “lío”. Mediante este pacto, Manuel Gavira, líder de la formación de extrema derecha, asumirá la consejería de Turismo, Administración Local y Justicia, un cargo que además tendrá rango de vicepresidencia. En rueda de prensa, Moreno y Gavira han escenificado la firma del “Acuerdo de Gobierno y Estabilidad para Andalucía”. Este es el pacto de Gobierno firmado por Moreno con Vox:

Andalucía pierde. Los andaluces no estamos para experimentos extremistas de derechas. Andalucía no está para desregulaciones ni para ser la víctima propiciatoria más grave de las políticas de desactivación medioambiental ni, por cierto, para olvidar que fue quien más sufriera las políticas represivas del franquismo Como se preveía, habrá gobierno de extrema derecha en Andalucía. Todo ha sido un paripé, un teatrillo. Todo se estaba decidiendo en los despachos de Madrid. Una estafa más de las protagonizadas por Moreno Bonilla con Andalucía. Pero lo cierto es que los andaluces lo votaron, igual que lo es que se presentara en las últimas elecciones ante ellos con un “no quiero líos”. Hay lío y me temo que será de los gordos. Desde Queipo de Llano, el virrey, y sus sucesores, por primera vez, reina la extrema derecha en Andalucía. Moreno ha perdido la oportunidad de demostrar a los andaluces que era verdad que era un moderado y no un constructo de una prensa bien regada. Ahora se cae esa careta y pose. Ya no esconde su pacto con la extrema derecha, paradoja para Moreno que fue el primero que le abriera las puertas institucionales a la extrema derecha en el Estado español; difícil tendrán sus apologetas convencer ahora de que es un moderado. Mucha tinta, mucha onda e imagen harán falta para tapar sus vergüenzas. No hay moderación con políticas que van en contra de la Constitución y los derechos humanos. El PSOE respira tranquilo. La vaga oportunidad, posibilidad, de que Moreno se hubiera resistido habría hipotecado quizá el tiempo inmediato y a medio plazo de una oposición que, deshecha, no tendría cuartel con un Moreno resistente, líder de las derechas en España y, tal vez, en Europa, un ejemplo quizá imbatible. Era, sin embargo, una engañifa a manera de liebre de canódromo. Respirará también Núñez Feijóo. Moreno es obediente. Se ha demostrado que lo que quiere es ser presidente y bajar escaleras versallescas. Su prioridad no es la nacional sino él mismo. Se conforma con ser barón del sur, como la caballa. Feijóo tiene vía libre para seguir con su plan de prioridad nacional generalizada con tal llegar a La Moncloa. Andalucía no será una excepción. Andalucía pierde. Los andaluces no estamos para experimentos extremistas de derechas. Andalucía no está para desregulaciones ni para ser la víctima propiciatoria más grave de las políticas de desactivación medioambiental ni, por cierto, para olvidar que fue quien más sufriera las políticas represivas del franquismo que, entre otras cosas, llevó a cientos de miles de andaluces al exilio y a la emigración. De esto, el renovado presidente no quiere ni oír hablar, siendo hijo de la emigración y Andalucía un país de emigrantes que ahora necesita de la inmigración para sacar adelante su economía. Aún quedan decenas de miles de andaluces bajo las cunetas y las fosas de la represión y como testigos insobornables de aquella experiencia siniestra. Cientos de miles de andaluces o sus descendientes en el exterior dan testimonio de aquella época cruel e inhumana. Moreno Bonilla se fuma, además, el autogobierno. No basta con rodearse de banderas impostadas. El autogobierno es decidir desde y para Andalucía, y a Moreno le han puesto sobre la mesa un menú único y cerrado desde Madrid y ha ordenado todos los platos de una dieta que no es la que necesita Andalucía, la del Partido Popular y Vox. Desde ya, Moreno no es sino un gobernador a las órdenes de lo que quieran los señoritos de Madrid. Queipo de Llano, al menos, se enfrentaba a Franco.
