DeSantis’ Border Plan Includes Ending Birthright Citizenship: The Florida governor’s immigration plan also includes stationing troops at the southern border until a wall is built there. DeSantis’ biggest echo of Trump is the proposal to end birthright citizenship, the constitutional declaration that any child born in the United States is automatically an American citizen. DeSantis also proposed items that he believes the last Republican president left undone, including completion of a border wall with Mexico and more aggressive moves against drug cartels.

Blinken: Challenge to Putin’s Leadership Exposes ‘Cracks in the Russian Facade’: Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the insurrection over the weekend by mercenary Wagner Group forces, as well as how it was ultimately resolved, showed “cracks in the facade” of Putin’s authoritarian leadership. “What we’ve seen is extraordinary,” Blinken said on NBC’s “Meet the Press” on Sunday.

For the first time in his more than 20-year rule, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s power appeared to hang in the balance over the weekend. Even though the rebellious Russian mercenary forces have turned back, Putin will struggle to project the image of a man in total control. That could set the stage for further challenges to his rule at home and could weaken Russia’s hand in the war in Ukraine.

Arguing with a conspiracy theorist is like trying to untangle a ball of yarn that has no end.

Organ Transplant Patients Can Die When Donors Aren’t Screened for This Parasitic Disease: Bob Naedele died after receiving a heart from a donor with Chagas disease.

Preventing Chagas disease in transplant recipients: Donor screening and recipient monitoring Trypanosoma cruzi, the parasite that causes Chagas disease, is most commonly transmitted to people by triatomine bugs. Vector-borne transmission of T. cruzi occurs mainly in rural areas of Latin America (South America, Central America, or Mexico). Chronic infection persists for life in the absence of treatment. Many infected individuals are asymptomatic and unaware that they have Chagas disease.

Today we started planning at a location short of our intended drive end position. Mars has, once again, not read our script! Regular readers of this blog will have noticed lately that many reports start with some news about a shortened drive that didn’t quite complete, and that Abigail got really excited on June 20th, when three drives in a row had completed successfully. And that’s not the rover’s fault and of course also not the fault of our excellent engineers who try to navigate this extremely challenging terrain.

MAVEN stuns with ultraviolet views of Mars: MAVEN launched in November 2013 and entered Mars’ orbit in September 2014. The mission’s goal is to explore the planet’s upper atmosphere, ionosphere, and interactions with the Sun and solar wind to explore the loss of the Martian atmosphere to space. Understanding atmospheric loss gives scientists insight into the history of Mars’ atmosphere and climate, liquid water, and planetary habitability. The MAVEN team is preparing to celebrate the spacecraft’s 10th year at Mars in September 2024.

# Technology
If you thought fixing your car was expensive before, get ready…: For a long time, automakers have been trying to make it difficult if not illegal to fix your own car, truck, or SUV. The dream of too many in the industry is consumers having to go to a dealership service department for pretty much any maintenance or repair job, violating your right to repair or have an independent shop perform repairs. And it looks like the Biden Administration has just handed them the key to make that dream a reality.

# Water
Putting salt in tap water and drilling wells in parks: One city’s desperate quest to avoid running dry: Uruguay, grappling with a multi-year drought and high temperatures, is running dry. The situation has become so bad that residents are being forced to drink salty tap water and workers are drilling wells in the center of the capital to reach the water beneath the ground.
