What A Day - Keeping It 100°+

Last July was so hot that 81 percent of the world's population endured sweltering heat, according to a new report by the science non-profit Climate Central. The temps broke records across the globe. Next week President Biden visits the nation's Southwest to talk more about his plans to combat climate change.

Negotiations in Hollywood may soon resume nearly 100 days since the strike began. The president of the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers reached out to Writers Guild of America to schedule a meeting for Friday. Meanwhile, Hollywood started hiring for high-paying AI jobs.

And in headlines: a federal judge ruled that health care providers in Idaho can refer patients for abortion services out-of-state, New York City officials are considering a plan where migrants will sleep in tents in Central Park and other green spaces, and picking your nose is associated with a higher risk of COVID.

The Daily Signal - What Is, and Isn’t, in 3rd Trump Indictment, Legal Expert Explains

INTERVIEW: Former President Donald Trump on Tuesday was indicted for a third time, and "it's striking that there's really nothing new in the indictment," Steven Bradbury says.



The latest indictment by special counsel Jack Smith is "all based on what we already knew publicly from the work of the Jan. 6 committee and from all the news coverage," Bradbury said, adding that the new indictment is "hollow in the sense of no new allegations."



Bradbury, a distinguished fellow in the executive vice president’s office at The Heritage Foundation, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" ahead of Trump's arraignment in federal court in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to explain what charges Trump is facing. (The Daily Signal is the news outlet of The Heritage Foundation.)



Bradbury, who served as the Department of Transportation's chief legal counsel in the Trump administration, also explains what the indictment says about the Biden administration’s Department of Justice.

Slate Books - The Waves: Hollywood is On Strike. Let’s Burn it Down.

On this week’s episode of The Waves, we’re talking the Hollywood strikes. Slate senior supervising producer Daisy Rosario is joined by longtime journalist and author of Burn It Down, Maureen Ryan to unpack the systematic oppression that has taken place behind the scenes of your favorite movies and television shows for decades. They dig into the structures in place to keep women and marginalized voices from getting to the top of the ladder, and how none of these stories are examples of one bad apple. They also explore how the ongoing writers and actors strikes are an inevitable result of years of injustice - and what they need to bargain for to make true change in Hollywood.
