WASHINGTON – U.S. Senate Democratic Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL), Ranking Member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, issued the following statement after the Supreme Court ruled against district courts’ nationwide preliminary injunctions blocking the Trump Administration’s executive order purporting to end birthright citizenship in Trump v. CASA : “The Supreme Court just issued a devastating blow to the separation of powers that is enshrined in our Constitution. Federal judges in multiple states have blocked the President’s order purporting to end birthright citizenship—including judges appointed by Republican presidents.

Did you know that some of the oldest human-made structures on Earth align precisely with the rising sun on the summer solstice? This alignment, observed in monuments such as Stonehenge, reveals the enduring fascination and reverence ancient cultures held for this astronomical event. The summer solstice is far more than a date on the calendar—it has been a catalyst for human celebration, ritual, and cultural expression for thousands of years. Origins of Summer Solstice Celebrations The summer solstice, occurring when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky, has been a significant event since prehistoric times.

What if you could transform a handful of simple ingredients into a dessert that rivals your favorite ice cream shop? Homemade ice cream is more than just a sweet treat; it’s a canvas for creativity, a lesson in chemistry, and a satisfying accomplishment.
