Morning Rundown
🔵 A heat wave hitting the West, sending temperatures soaring past the century mark, is expected to persist into the weekend, with the most intense and prolonged heat expected in the Desert Southwest. Meanwhile, Hurricane Erin will weaken as it moves away from the East Coast, but coastal impacts -- especially in the Northeast -- will linger through Friday and potentially into Saturday.

🔵 A New York appeals court has thrown out the half-billion-dollar civil fraud judgment handed down last year against President Donald Trump, his family and his company.

🔵 Ingrid Lewis-Martin accepted more than $75,000 in bribes while serving as chief adviser to New York Mayor Eric Adams, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg alleged Thursday in four separate conspiracy indictments that also named eight others, including some of the mayor's associates.

🔵 Erik Menendez was denied parole during his first-ever parole hearing on Thursday, 36 years and one day after he and his brother killed their parents, Jose and Kitty Menendez. The parole hearing for his brother, Lyle Menendez, will be today.

🔵 The biggest Powerball jackpot of the year continues to grow, with an estimated prize of $700 million after no ticket matched all winning numbers in Wednesday's drawing. The next drawing will be Saturday.

🥳 The world's oldest living person, Ether Caterham, celebrated turning 116 on Thursday. Born Aug. 21, 1909, Caterham was recognized in April by Guinness World Records as the oldest person living, following the death of Brazilian nun Inah Canabarro Lucas at 116 on April 30, 2025.
