• Western Heat Wave
  More than 25 million people...
  More than 25 million people across the western US are under heat alerts, as a heat wave is expected to bring dangerously high temperatures from Arizona to the Pacific Northwest this week. Temperatures are expected to reach triple digits in several areas as the intense heat moves northward from drought-stricken Mexico.
  
  The extreme heat is being driven by a heat dome—a high-pressure system trapping hot air in place while preventing precipitation. Temperatures in California could reach up to 20 degrees above normal in many areas, with Death Valley predicting temperatures near 120 degrees. By Thursday, Phoenix and Las Vegas could hit 110 degrees for the first time this year. See a heat risk map here.

  A special meeting of Oklahoma regulators will be held Tuesday morning regarding a request for a $32 million increase in charges for Oklahoma Natural Gas customers. This would amount to another $29 more a year for most customers.

However, with credits, ONG said the net monthly impact would be an increase of $1.37 for average residential customers and 49 cents for low-income residential customers.

  President Biden plans to limit asylum claims. The president...
  President Biden plans to limit asylum claims. The president is expected to sign an executive order today that would bar migrants who illegally cross the border from Mexico into the US from claiming asylum once the number of daily entries hits 2,500 (which it already has). The ability to seek asylum would resume when entries fall to 1,500 per day. The move comes as many voters have expressed that immigration is one of the top issues they’re concerned about in this year’s presidential contest—and that they’re unhappy with how Biden has handled it.
