    U.S. Launches New Round of Strikes; Platner Drops Out of Senate Race | NTD Good Morning (July 9)

    U.S. forces have carried out another round of strikes against Iran, targeting military sites along the country’s coastline. U.S. Central Command said Monday’s operation was aimed at reducing Iran’s ability to threaten commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. CENTCOM says it struck about 90 Iranian military targets, including air defense systems, missiles and drone storage sites, naval assets and logistics infrastructure. CENTCOM says more than 20 U.S. Navy warships are now patrolling waters across the Middle East, and that U.S. forces remain ready to conduct additional operations if ordered. Graham Platner, the Senate candidate and self-described progressive from Maine, has dropped out of the race for one of Maine’s Senate seats. It comes after mounting calls from within his own party, following a sexual assault allegation. In the state’s primary last month, Platner was contending with Janet Mills, who won 41,000 votes compared to his 156,000 votes. Maine is a top target for one of the four seats Democrats need to gain to take control of the upper chamber. His replacement will be up against long-time Sen. Susan Collins (R-Maine), who’s held her seat since 1996. Bonnie Tyler, the three-time Grammy-nominated Welsh pop star, has died at the age of 75. A statement from her family says she died in a hospital in Portugal, where she was being treated for an illness. Tyler was known for her iconic gravelly tone, which helped her send her song "Total Eclipse of the Heart" to the top of the charts. Some of her other famous releases include "Holding Out for a Hero," "It’s a Heartache," and "Lost in France." She represented Britain in the 2013 Eurovision Song contest, and was appointed a member of the Order of the British Empire in 2022 for her contributions to music.

    Record Heatwave Hits Much of U.S.; SCOTUS Upholds Birthright Citizenship | NTD Good Morning (July 1)

    Summer officially started less than two weeks ago, but large portions of the country are already under a dangerous record-breaking heat wave. Officials in some cities are reminding people to check in on their neighbors, as high temperatures can be much more than just uncomfortable. Meanwhile Secretary of Energy Chris Wright has issued emergency orders aimed at preventing power outages as the extreme heat drives up electricity demand. The emergency measures allow additional power generation and backup resources to be used if needed through Friday. The Supreme Court upheld birthright citizenship on Tuesday, ruling that all children born in the U.S. are citizens. This strikes down President Trump’s executive order that denied automatic U.S. citizenship to children born to parents who were in the country illegally or on temporary visas, saying that it violated the 14th Amendment.. Congress has the power to rewrite the 14th Amendment to limit who is granted automatic citizenship, but would require a two-thirds vote in the House and the Senate. The American West is taking center stage on the National Mall as part of the nation's 250th birthday celebration.

Visitors praised the idea of bringing the traditions of the American West to the nation's capital, with Secretary of Agriculture Brooke Rollins saying American wasn’t build in boardrooms, it was built from horseback.
