Susan Davis: 美国政府支出法案在众议院和参议院之间存在严重分歧，可能导致政府停摆。众议院共和党内部也存在严重分歧，一些强硬派共和党人反对与民主党妥协。法案中包含许多有争议的条款，例如涉及堕胎和社会议题的条款，这些都增加了谈判的复杂性。麦卡锡面临着两难境地，他需要在避免政府停摆、保持温和派成员的支持以及满足保守派的要求之间取得平衡。 Drew Hawkins: 极端高温天气导致热衰竭和中暑病例激增，对公共卫生系统造成巨大压力。医生和急救人员正在努力应对不断增加的病例，并采取措施降低患者体温。高温天气不仅令人不适，而且具有致命危险，人们需要采取预防措施，避免长时间暴露在高温下。新奥尔良等城市已经设立了避暑中心，以帮助居民应对高温。 Steve Inskeep: 以色列议会通过一项法案，削弱了最高法院的权力，引发了广泛争议。内塔尼亚胡政府认为此举符合多数人统治原则，但抗议者认为此举威胁了以色列的民主。最高法院是制衡立法机构的重要力量，此次改革减少了对政府的制衡。内塔尼亚胡表示愿意与抗议者进行谈判，但他坚持要推进其他改革措施。
