Tribes call on Haaland to push increased protections for the Grand Canyon: As a 20-year ban on mining in the Grand Canyon passes its midpoint, Indigenous nations look to continue protections indefinitely. Interior Secretary Deb Haaland met with tribal leaders representing a dozen Indigenous nations last weekend in a move that could expand protections for land around The Grand Canyon, permanently safeguarding the region from future uranium mining.

Who gets a say in tribal treaty hunting? In Wyoming, everybody wants influence over off-rez hunting — and nobody’s happy. Many tribes have treaty-protected hunting rights that extend beyond reservation boundaries, and the business council wanted to open up a dialogue with the state on possible collaboration. Any issue involving treaty hunting should first be brought to the Eastern Shoshone’s General Council, which is the constituency’s governing body.

# Border / Immigration / Migrants
The Real ‘Remain in Mexico’ Begins at the Border: The likely consequences of Biden’s new immigration policy will be misery for thousands seeking refuge. Three weeks ago, the pandemic-era use of Title 42 of the U.S. Code, which allowed the Border Patrol to expel migrants to Mexico without giving them the opportunity to ask for asylum, expired. The rule contradicted both U.S. and international law

Social Security’s big blunders: Retirees are being bullied into paying back thousands in miscalculated benefits. If you don’t repay, your Social Security checks stop coming, just as threatened. These clawback demand letters can arrive literally 20 years after you began receiving benefits. They can demand repayment of a few hundred dollars or many thousands of dollars. We’ve heard from people who were told they must repay as much as $300,000.

U.S. debt ceiling deal to face its first test in Congress: A bipartisan deal to raise the $31.4 trillion U.S. debt ceiling faces its first test in Congress on Tuesday, setting up what could be a nail-biting week of voting before the United States runs out of money to pay its bills. But first the bill will have to clear the Rules Committee.

What’s in, and out, of the debt ceiling deal: The Democratic president and Republican speaker are trying to win over lawmakers to the plan in time to avert a default.

President Biden and GOP leaders negotiated a proposed bill to raise the debt ceiling. Buried in the new bill that freezes spending is a provision brushing aside climate science and granting Sen. Joe Manchin’s wish to expedite the construction of a giant fossil fuel pipeline during the climate crisis. Experts say the pipeline would produce emissions equivalent to 26 coal plants or 19 million passenger cars

The Auto-CR Dilemma: If the debt ceiling deal passes, the military budget goes up and IRS funding gets slashed. But if Congress doesn’t pass the subsequent spending bills, that reverses.

Key facts about Neuralink, Musk’s cyborg gamble: Neuralink is a neurotechnology company co-founded by Musk along with a team of scientists and engineers in 2016 to build direct communication channels between the brain and computers. The aim is to supercharge human capabilities, treat neurological disorders like ALS or Parkinson’s, and ultimately achieve a symbiotic relationship between humans and artificial intelligence. Neuralink’s technology would mainly work through an implant called the ‘Link’ — a device about the size of five stacked coins that would be placed inside the human brain through invasive surgery.
