He had entered the U.S. via El Paso on October 1, 2022, and was allowed to stay under Biden administration policy but failed to appear for an immigration appointment. An arrest warrant was issued after this failure. Authorities recovered a handgun and ammunition during the arrest. Padillia-Granadillo is implicated in a mass shooting in Chicago, though specifics are not detailed. Chicago reported 573 homicides in 2024, a decrease from previous years.

SUMMARY: Democratic National Committee Chair Ken Martin emphasized the need for Democrats to aggressively rebuild organizing and campaigning efforts to regain working-class voters lost to Republicans. He criticized GOP redistricting in Texas as a “power grab” and endorsed reciprocal efforts by blue states. Martin stressed year-round campaigning to fix the party’s branding and connect with broader constituencies, invoking Paul Wellstone’s populist legacy. He highlighted the unpopularity of recent Republican policies as an opening for Senate gains but urged unity within the Democratic Party and investment in state infrastructures to expand competitiveness beyond traditional strongholds.

SUMMARY: Thaddeus, born in Ohio, is now the world’s oldest baby conceived from an embryo frozen in 1994—over 30 years ago. His adoptive parents, Tim and Lindsey Pierce, who had struggled to conceive for seven years, received the embryo through a Christian embryo adoption agency. The embryo was originally created by Linda Archer and her then-husband using early IVF technology. Despite the embryo’s age, doctors confirm embryos frozen correctly can be as healthy as fresh ones. Thaddeus’s birth raises ethical questions about frozen embryos’ future and ownership, with around one million frozen in U.S. storage. Linda notes Thaddeus resembles her 30-year-old daughter.

SUMMARY: Duke Energy won legislative approval to ease its carbon emissions targets in North Carolina by overriding Governor Josh Stein’s veto of Senate Bill 266, known as the Power Bill Reduction Act. The law cancels Duke’s interim goal to cut carbon emissions by 70% by 2030 and allows greater reliance on natural gas, while still requiring net-zero emissions by 2050. It also lets Duke shift more fuel costs onto residential customers and charge for power plant financing even if projects are never completed. Critics warn this risks higher bills, greater fossil fuel dependence, and weakening climate commitments amid worsening heat and storms.
