SUMMARY: Boniface Kariuki, a Kenyan man shot in the head by police during protests over blogger Albert Ojwang’s custodial death, has died after being declared brain-dead. Kariuki, a vendor and bystander, was shot on June 17 amid rising anger over police brutality. Two officers have been arrested for Kariuki’s shooting, while six people, including three officers, face charges related to Ojwang’s death, with a pathologist refuting claims his injuries were self-inflicted. Despite President William Ruto’s vow to end police brutality, Interior Minister Kipchumba Murkomen recently ordered police to “shoot on sight” protesters near stations, prompting condemnation from the Kenya Law Society.

SUMMARY: A new Florida law, effective July 1, 2025, bans geoengineering and weather modification activities such as cloud seeding and solar radiation modification. Senate Bill 56, sponsored by Sen. Ileana Garcia, repeals outdated weather modification statutes and prohibits releasing substances to alter weather, climate, or sunlight, with fines up to $100,000. The law aims to ease public concerns over “chemtrails” despite no recent weather modification requests in Florida. Critics warn it may hinder beneficial cloud-seeding projects that support water supplies. NOAA states hurricane modification technology doesn’t exist, with no current large-scale geoengineering, but continues research on impacts.

SUMMARY: The Senate is debating President Trump’s “One Big Beautiful Bill,” which advanced 51-49 after an hours-long vote, moving closer to passage. Senators Thom Tillis and Rand Paul joined Democrats opposing the bill. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer forced a full reading of the 900-plus-page legislation, delaying further votes until Monday. The bill extends Trump’s first-term tax cuts, removes taxes on tips and overtime, and increases defense and border security spending. Opponents argue it cuts Medicaid and food stamp programs, potentially removing healthcare from 16 million Americans. Supporters emphasize border security and defense funding as key benefits.
