When Oprah turned 50 in 2004, her friends — that means people like John Travolta and Tina Turner — threw her a surprise birthday party on her show. It was over the top, a little much, but also a celebration of her impact and influence.

Domino’s worker shortage got so bad, they lost the equivalent amount of business as closing every location for 6 days. Bed Bath & Beyond is struggling so much they’re creating a new holiday: Decision Day. And a big reason Ukraine has defended Kiev so well is the $200K Javelin missile (Made in Alabama).

It is estimated that within the observable universe there might be as many as septillion stars. While each of them is far larger than the Earth, they all differ in terms of age, size, color, and composition.
Despite being very far away, we know a surprisingly large amount about them through observation and an understanding of the basic units of matter.
Learn more about stars, how they are born, and how they die, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Politico’s scoop on the Supreme Court’s forthcoming decision on Dobbs v. Jackson
Curtis Mayfield. The Chi-Lites. Chaka Khan. Chicago’s place in the history of soul music is rock solid. But for Chicagoans, soul music in its heyday from the 1960s to the 1980s was more than just a series of hits: it was a marker and a source of black empowerment.
In Move On Up: Chicago Soul Music and Black Cultural Power (U Chicago Press, 2019), Aaron Cohen tells the remarkable story of the explosion of soul music in Chicago. Together, soul music and black-owned businesses thrived. Record producers and song-writers broadcast optimism for black America’s future through their sophisticated, jazz-inspired productions for the Dells and many others. Curtis Mayfield boldly sang of uplift with unmistakable grooves like “We’re a Winner” and “I Plan to Stay a Believer.” Musicians like Phil Cohran and the Pharaohs used their music to voice Afrocentric philosophies that challenged racism and segregation, while Maurice White of Earth, Wind, and Fire and Chaka Khan created music that inspired black consciousness. Soul music also accompanied the rise of African American advertisers and the campaign of Chicago’s first black mayor, Harold Washington, in 1983. This empowerment was set in stark relief by the social unrest roiling in Chicago and across the nation: as Chicago’s homegrown record labels produced rising stars singing songs of progress and freedom, Chicago’s black middle class faced limited economic opportunities and deep-seated segregation, all against a backdrop of nationwide deindustrialization.
Drawing on more than one hundred interviews and a music critic’s passion for the unmistakable Chicago soul sound, Cohen shows us how soul music became the voice of inspiration and change for a city in turmoil. Aaron Cohen covers the arts for numerous publications and teaches English, journalism, and humanities at City Colleges of Chicago. He is the author of Aretha Franklin's "Amazing Grace."

Early on in the pandemic, people of color were nearly twice as likely to die from COVID-19. Those health inequities weren’t surprising to Dr. Joneigh Khaldun, who was among the first public health officials in the nation to demand her state of Michigan collect race and ethnicity data on COVID patients. In fact, solving them has been her life’s work. Now the chief health equity officer at CVS Health, Joneigh tells Andy where her passion for improving the health of underserved communities stems from, including her own personal experience being dismissed by doctors, and the tangible ways the health care system can do better.

We're talking about the reaction to this week's Supreme Court shocker: how protesters and politicians are preparing for abortion policies to change in the U.S.
Also, there's a new development in the case of a star basketball player detained in Russia.
Plus, another record number of job openings and resignations in the U.S., new changes you might see on some of the most popular social media platforms, and how to celebrate the unofficial 'Star Wars' holiday today.
Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said that the leaked draft majority opinion on overturning abortion rights is authentic and that “it does not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.” Leah Litman, co-host of Crooked’s “Strict Scrutiny” podcast, joins us to answer our legal questions about what this could mean for abortion access nationwide and future Supreme Court rulings.
And in headlines: Russian forces stormed Mariupol’s embattled steel mill, parts of India and Pakistan are in the midst of a brutal heatwave, and the federal government delayed releases of water in Lake Powell on the Colorado River.
If Roe v. Wade in fact is overturned, ending abortion on demand, what happens next? Is the pro-life movement ready to meet the needs of mothers and families facing unplanned pregnancies?
Roland Warren, president and CEO of the pro-life organization Care Net, says that although pregnancy centers play a role in helping women who have unplanned pregnancies, both the church and the family have a responsibility to defend life and serve these women.
The first step in creating a culture of life in America requires rebuilding marriage and family "consistent with God's design,” Warren argues.
Warren joins this episode of “The Daily Signal Podcast” to discuss how families and places of worship can begin creating a culture of life in their communities.
Also on today's show, we cover these stories:
Chief Justice John Roberts confirms the authenticity of a leaked draft opinion indicating the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade and its legalization of abortion on demand.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., announces that the Senate will vote on codifying "abortion rights."
Liberal activists call for packing the Supreme Court to add justices in the wake of the leaked draft.
This week, Politico published a shocking leak from within the Supreme Court, indicating that a majority of the judges have voted to overturn Roe v. Wade. Beyond who leaked the draft opinion, questions remain about what the rollback of the landmark constitutional law will mean for abortion rights in America.
