The Supreme Court will issue a slew of major opinions today on what’s expected to be the final day of its current term. Still outstanding are decisions in cases over President Donald Trump’s birthright citizenship order, a voting rights challenge in Louisiana, LGBTQ books in schools, and more. On Thursday, the court also paved the way for states to bar Planned Parenthood from receiving Medicaid funds, even for services not at all related to abortion. Jessica Levinson, a law professor at Loyola Low School in Los Angeles, explains the justices' Planned Parenthood opinion and what they might have in store for us today. And in headlines: Republicans are racing to meet a July 4th deadline to pass President Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill despite yet another major setback in the Senate, Congress is still at odds over whether the US strikes on Iran “obliterated” the country's nuclear program, and a CDC vaccine panel made recommendations that could make it harder to get the flu vaccine.

  • It's Friday, June 27th.

  • I'm Jane Coaston, and this is What a Day,

  • the show that says happy 10 year plus one day anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges,

  • the Supreme Court case that legalized marriage equality in all 50 states.

  • Today, marriage equality has a 68% approval rating in the United States.

  • And if that's not surprising or amazing to you in any way,

  • go find an older LGBTQ person and ask them.

  • On today's show,

  • Defense Secretary Pete Hickseth whines about news outlets not towing the White House line on the success of the Iran strikes,

  • and Republicans face another major setback on their big, beautiful bill.

  • But let's start with the Supreme Court.

  • The justices say today is going to be the last day of the current term, and boy howdy,

  • they've set themselves up to release a lot of big decisions in just one day.

  • As of this morning,

  • we're expecting decisions in a case challenging President Donald Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship.

  • The justices aren't specifically deciding the birthright citizenship part of the case right now,

  • but they are expected to weigh in on how much power lower court judges have to block orders like these from going into effect nationwide.

  • We're also expecting opinions on a big voting rights case out of Louisiana,

  • a case about porn and age verification from Texas,

  • There is an Obamacare challenge and a case about LGBTQ books in schools.
