President Biden wants term limits and an enforceable code of ethics imposed on the Supreme Court. Eric Lee/The New York Times

Biden’s plan to overhaul the Supreme Court

At a public engagement in Austin, Texas, President Biden warned that U.S. courts were being weaponized to push an “extreme and unchecked” conservative agenda, and he said he would push for legislation that would reform the Supreme Court, including imposing term limits and creating an enforceable code of ethics for the justices.

The proposal, which would require congressional approval, has little hope of success in a Republican-controlled House and a divided Senate. In a social media post, Speaker Mike Johnson called the proposal “dead on arrival” in the House.

Democrats argue that Americans are broadly concerned about the inner workings of a court that has swung to the right since 2020. Recent polls show that the Supreme Court’s approval rating is at a historic low and that a majority of Americans believe the court’s decisions are driven by ideology.

Protests erupt over disputed Venezuelan election

Hundreds of young people marched through the streets of Caracas, Venezuela’s capital, yesterday, furious over a presidential election in which the incumbent, President Nicolás Maduro, declared victory despite widespread accusations of fraud.

With results from 80 percent of voting stations counted, Venezuela’s election authority claimed that Maduro, the country’s authoritarian leader, had received 51.2 percent of the vote on Sunday, with the main opposition candidate, Edmundo González, getting 44.2 percent. Those results did not appear to match statistical estimates based on partial counts and other data that showed the president losing by a wide margin.

Maduro’s government has invented election results before, and the vote was riddled with irregularities. Some officials refused to release printouts verifying the electronic vote count, leaving the country without a way to confirm the result announced by the ruling party.

Reactions: The U.S. and countries around the world denounced the official results. By yesterday afternoon, the Venezuelan government announced that it had kicked out the diplomatic missions of seven Latin American countries that had joined the condemnation.

Israel promises a ‘severe’ response to strike

Israel’s security cabinet authorized its leaders to decide on the nature and the timing of a significant military response to a deadly rocket attack from Lebanon on Saturday, which killed 12 children and teenagers in a Druse Arab village in the Israeli-controlled Golan Heights.

“Our response is coming, and it will be severe,” Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s prime minister, said yesterday. For months, Israel has been firing back at sites in Lebanon used by Hezbollah to launch rockets and missiles across the border, as well as killing Hezbollah commanders and fighters.

Analysis: Experts said Hezbollah had most likely been aiming at a nearby army base and had not intentionally targeted the village, but its use of inaccurate rockets in an area dotted with civilian communities could tip the balance toward all-out war.

War in Gaza: Negotiations for a truce remained stalled, with Israel and Hamas blaming each other. And in the U.S., junior political aides started an anonymous website criticizing U.S. policy on Israel and the war.

Other news: The Israeli military detained nine reservists over suspected sexual abuse of a Palestinian detainee. Civilians supporting the reservists briefly broke into a military base in protest.

With their diet of carrion and their featherless heads, vultures are often viewed with disgust. But they have long provided a critical cleaning service by devouring the dead.

Now, economists have put an excruciating figure on just how vital they can be: The sudden near-disappearance of vultures in India about two decades ago led to more than half a million excess human deaths over five years, according to a new study.

A changing France on full display

A new France was consecrated on Friday evening during the Olympic opening ceremony. When Aya Nakamura, a popular French Malian singer, came sashaying in a short fringed golden dress out of the august Académie Française, she redefined Frenchness.

Nakamara uses slang like verlan that reverses the order of syllables, and West African dialects like Nouchi. She mixes languages, including English, and R&B and Afropop.

Her performance was a powerful salutation to a France whose language is increasingly infused with expressions from its former African colonies — against the stern edicts of the Académie, whose role has been to protect the French language from outside influence, and the concerns of a rising far right.
