Haitian fans emerged in force in downtown Atlanta on Wednesday, donned in red and blue jerseys to watch the Caribbean nation’s last match of this year’s World Cup. While Haiti didn’t win its match against Morocco, fans were jubilant about being able to cheer on their team, which defied the odds to play in its first World Cup stint since the 70s. But that joy was short-lived. The following day, the US Supreme Court gave President Donald Trump the green light to end the legal status for potentially millions of foreign nationals who hail from conflict-hit countries like Haiti and Syria.

One day after adopting a resolution aimed at removing US military forces from the conflict with Iran, the Senate walked back its rebuke of President Donald Trump’s handling of the war, rejecting an attempt to advance a similar war powers measure. Wednesday’s late-night vote came after Trump expressed frustration with Senate Republicans who voted for an Iran war powers resolution on Tuesday, as well as Republicans who missed that vote, arguing that Congress had undermined his position at the negotiating table with Iran. GOP Sens. Rand Paul and Bill Cassidy, who had previously voted to rein in the president’s war powers on Iran, changed their votes; Paul voted present and Cassidy voted against advancing the resolution. GOP Sens. Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski once again voted for the resolution, while Democratic Sen. John Fetterman again voted against it. The final tally was 47-50-1.

Europe’s heat endurance continues as multiple countries are braced for triple digit temperatures Thursday. The United Kingdom has already broken its June temperature record for the second straight day, and other countries could see national records fall. Swaths of Europe are baking under a heat dome, a vast area of stagnant high pressure that acts like a lid on a pot, trapping heat. Heat domes are not unusual, but are being supercharged by the human-driven climate crisis. The town of Merryfield, in southwest England, posted a temperature of 98.06 Fahrenheit (36.7 Celsius) Thursday, breaking a national June temperature record only set yesterday, according to the UK Met Office. That record may be broken again before the day is out. Prior to this heat wave, the June high was 96.08 degrees Fahrenheit (35.6 Celsius), last set 50 years ago.
