Just days before America's 250th birthday, the Supreme Court handed down the term's final, and perhaps most historic, decision: an affirmation of the broad understanding of American citizenship. That capped a string of landmark rulings reverberating through the nation's politics, economy and global relations.

This morning, we dissect the top themes from a bruising and blockbuster year — including how the court's decisions give President Trump new tools to accelerate deportations.

Wall Street's best quarter in six years will be a hard act to follow.

Stocks powered through a turbulent few months to log their best quarter in years. Keeping pace won't be easy. The largest oil shock in history, worries about the longevity of the AI boom and the prospect of higher interest rates haven't derailed the records. The market overcame those headwinds, thanks to highflying chip stocks — the biggest AI winners of the moment — and confidence that American corporations will continue to churn out higher profits. Many think those same forces could lift major indexes for the rest of the year, reports Krystal Hur.

Europe is hot as hell. Why doesn't it want air conditioning?

Europeans have long shunned the technology, viewing it as noisy, a blight on their architectural heritage and unnecessary as long as the summers were mild. They feared widespread adoption of the energy-hungry devices would undermine their ambition to lead the fight against climate change. That resistance, however, is colliding with the realities of a continent where temperatures are rising faster than any other region on the planet. Years of record-breaking heat waves have strained the continent's health systems and its economy. The fight over the future of air conditioning is now shaping political debates across the continent, reports Matthew Dalton.

Meet the Argentine taskmaster who got Team USA believing 'why not us.'

Shortly after Mauricio Pochettino became head coach of the U.S. men's national soccer team, he took a long look at the pool of players he would be charged with leading into the World Cup. He wondered just what he had gotten himself into. A former defender for the Argentine team, Pochettino had coached some of the biggest clubs in Europe. He had built a reputation for grueling training sessions and settling for nothing less than maximum intensity from his players. If anyone could whip the Americans into shape and stave off potential embarrassment on home soil, it was him. Now, Pochettino is aiming to lead the U.S. to its first knockout-round win since 2002, report Joshua Robinson and Andrew Beaton.
