5 min readA heat emergency blanketing more than half the United States, a major shift in federal immigration enforcement after a Supreme Court defeat, and a final blow to Google’s long-running antitrust fight in Europe all landed in the same news cycle.
The National Weather Service has issued some kind of heat warning or advisory for nearly 180 million people today — more than half the U.S. population.

Officials say people should prepare by bringing water, staying hydrated, and limiting physical activity.
