Cincinnati Reds shortstop Elly De La Cruz took the field on Sunday under tragic circumstances, just a day after learning that his older sister, Genelis De La Cruz Sanchez, had passed away. Despite the heartbreaking news, the 23-year-old chose to play in the series finale against the Chicago Cubs, demonstrating strength and emotional courage in the face of personal loss.
The Colorado Rockies’ 2025 season has reached a new low, as the team suffered their 50th loss in just 59 games, marking the third-fastest pace to 50 defeats in Major League Baseball history. Only the 1884 Kansas City Unions and the 1876 Cincinnati Red Stockings reached this mark quicker. With a 9-50 record, the Rockies hold the worst start through 59 games in the modern era (since 1901). Their latest defeat came at the hands of the New York Mets, who completed a three-game sweep with a 5-3 victory on Sunday. This loss extended Colorado’s current losing streak to eight games—their fourth such streak this season—and marked their 10th series sweep in 20 series played, tying them with the 1962 Mets, 1970 Brewers, and 1994 Athletics for the most sweeps through 20 series.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday declined to review challenges to laws in Maryland and Rhode Island that restrict the ownership and sale of assault-style weapons and high-capacity magazines. By refusing to take up the appeals, the Court let stand lower court rulings that upheld the constitutionality of these state-level gun control measures. This decision marks a significant moment in the national debate over the scope of Second Amendment protections and the ability of states to enact firearm regulations tailored to public safety concerns.
What began as a peaceful walk in Boulder, Colorado, to raise awareness for hostages held in Gaza turned into a shocking act of violence on Sunday, June 1. A man reportedly launched a targeted attack on demonstrators, injuring eight people—many of them elderly, including an 88-year-old Holocaust survivor.
In a major development on the international economic stage, the United States and the United Kingdom have signed a landmark trade agreement aimed at strengthening bilateral economic ties and reducing trade friction between the two allies. Announced jointly by U.S. President Donald Trump and U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the deal includes significant tariff reductions on British steel, aluminum, and automobiles, while opening the U.K. market to increased American agricultural exports and energy products. After years of post-Brexit economic uncertainty and shifting global alliances, both leaders hailed the agreement as a “win-win” for jobs, industry, and national security.
Meet my patient Mrs. L. R. She’s 98 years young and has never suffered a day of serious illness in her long life. She was referred to me by her primary care physician to assess her heart condition because she had developed swelling in her legs, known as edema. When we first met in the clinic, I noted there was no accompanying family member, so I asked how she got to the medical center. She’d driven herself. I soon learned much more about this exceptionally vibrant, healthy lady who lives alone, has an extensive social network, and enjoys her solitude.

Not long before the 2024 election, Dr. Casey Means wrote a letter to her Good Energy newsletter subscribers with a health-related wishlist for the next Administration.
In it were priorities that echo those of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Secretary of Health and Human Services: investigating toxins in the food supply, incentivizing healthy food purchases with food stamps, replacing factory farming with regenerative farming.
“More than anything, I would like to see our future White House rally Americans to be healthy and fit,” wrote Means, a physician who President Trump nominated on May 7 for U.S. Surgeon General. Trump discarded his first pick, Dr. Janette Neshiewat, a day before she was scheduled to appear before a Senate committee.

For the ninth straight month, global temperatures have exceeded the 1.5°C threshold outlined in the Paris Climate Agreement, sounding alarms across the international scientific community. According to data released by the Copernicus Climate Change Service, the 12-month average temperature through April 2025 reached 1.58°C above pre-industrial levels. April itself ranked as the second hottest April on record, with a global average surface temperature of 14.96°C. The figures represent not just a statistical milestone, but a pivotal moment in the worsening climate crisis—one that many experts now say is entering an irreversible phase without immediate and sweeping intervention.
The fragile peace between India and Pakistan has been severely tested following a deadly escalation in cross-border hostilities. On May 6, the Indian Air Force launched a coordinated airstrike against nine suspected militant camps across the border in Pakistan-administered territory. The move, which the Indian government labeled a “pre-emptive counter-terror operation,” was in direct response to the April 22nd terrorist attack in Indian-administered Kashmir that left 26 Hindu pilgrims dead. The attack was allegedly carried out by the Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), a group with historic ties to Pakistan, igniting calls within India for a forceful retaliation.
In a groundbreaking moment for the Roman Catholic Church, Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago has been elected as Pope Leo XIV, becoming the first American in history to ascend to the papacy. His election marks a pivotal turning point for a global faith that has long been led predominantly by European pontiffs, particularly Italians. Born in 1955 to a working-class family of American immigrants, Pope Leo XIV’s rise from humble beginnings to the apex of Catholic leadership embodies a modern narrative of global inclusivity and pastoral outreach. His story resonates with millions, particularly in the Americas, where the Catholic population continues to grow rapidly.
