In the latest round of U.S. news, the University of California faces a lawsuit over racial discrimination claims. The lawsuit, brought by Students Against Racial Discrimination, alleges the university system favored Black and Hispanic applicants over Asian-American and white students to the detriment of merit-based admissions.

Meanwhile, the confirmation of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as a top health official is under scrutiny. Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy holds a pivotal vote that could halt Kennedy’s appointment due to Kennedy's controversial anti-vaccine stance.
