Here are 3 big things you need to know—

 

One — A federal judge has temporarily barred the federal government from carrying out a provision of a law duly passed by Congress and approved by the President. The judge has moved to prevent the Trump administration from revoking funding for Planned Parenthood just days after President Trump signed it into law. The U.S. Supreme Court should get involved quickly, since the ruling is the equivalent of dissolving Congress and ignoring 50 years of Supreme Court precedent.

Two --- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is nominating President Trump for the Nobel Peace Prize.  He announced the nomination at a dinner at the White House, saying Trump is pursuing peace and security in many lands, especially in the Middle East. 

 
And number three --- Amazon Prime Day starts today.  The annual event brings in billions of dollars in global sales and retailers see an immediate boost in e-commerce activity.  Consumer experts warn of "price anchoring"  --  where some sellers jack up prices before Prime Day, then offer what appears to be a discount that is actually the product's normal price or even higher.
