With the 2024 Olympic Games on the immediate horizon, the United States Women’s National Team lined up for the first of two friendlies, taking on CONCACAF rivals Mexico at Red Bull Arena in Harrison, New Jersey. Only a few months into her tenure, there was some curiosity as to how much former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes could reasonably improve the squad after a few years of meandering play, against an opponent that beguiled the squad in February. The 1-0 victory provides a measured sense of assurance but indicates that there is still a long journey ahead for this young group before ascending back to the world-beating level of past generations.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

With an assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania on July 13, 2024, the U.S. experienced another violent episode in its increasingly polarized politics. Former President Trump, who’s about to formally become the GOP nominee for president in the 2024 election, survived the attempted assassination when, initial reports said, a bullet grazed his ear . But one rally attendee was killed , more spectators were injured and the suspected gunman is also dead. The Conversation’s politics editor, Naomi Schalit, spoke with University of Massachusetts, Lowell, scholar Arie Perliger after the event. Perliger offered insight from his study of political violence and assassinations. Given the stark political polarization in the U.S., Perliger said, “it’s not a surprise that eventually people engage in violence.”
