Liam Payne, former One Direction member, tragically died at 31 after falling from a hotel window in Buenos Aires. In a Fox News town hall, Donald Trump called himself the “father of IVF,” sparking criticism from Kamala Harris about his judicial appointments affecting reproductive rights. Elon Musk has emerged as a significant political donor, contributing nearly $75 million to his America PAC, which spent about $72 million supporting Trump’s campaign. Italy's parliament passed a bill banning citizens from traveling abroad for surrogacy, a move criticized by activists as targeting same-sex couples under Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s family values agenda. Lastly, the Supreme Court upheld a rule mandating coal-fired plants to capture 90% of carbon emissions, marking the third time this month the court has supported environmental regulations, though justices expressed concerns over future challenges.
