He urged Congress to establish enforceable ethics rules for the high court, similar to those for other federal judges, to address things like political activities and gifts. Biden also called for a constitutional amendment to eliminate blanket immunity for presidents, in response to a recent [Supreme Court ruling](. The proposals mark a major shift for Biden, who has been [against reforming]( the Supreme Court for years. What it means: With less than six months left in his term, Biden is trying to cement his 51-year political legacy. However, his plans aren’t expected to get very far in a divided Congress. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) called Biden’s proposals “dead on arrival.” Meanwhile, the constitutional amendment would require the states to get involved, which CNN reports would be [nearly impossible]( to pull off. Even if the proposals don’t cross the finish line, Democrats hope Biden’s attempts will help rally voters — many of whom have an [unfavorable view]( of the Supreme Court — in a close election.

President Nicolás Maduro [declared victory]( on Sunday, allegedly winning a third six-year term. The results came as a surprise to many Venezuelans (and world leaders) after polls showed challenger Edmundo González winning the election by 25 points, according to the [Wall Street Journal](. Not helping voter confidence: Officials delayed the vote tallies by several hours, prompting accusations of fraud. Opposition leaders said they have proof González has more votes than Maduro and want the electoral authority to release the voting results. What it means: At least nine Latin American governments called for a full audit of the voting data, with some leaders saying they won’t accept the results until they’re verified. The US has also cast doubt on the election results. Meanwhile, the situation could prolong Venezuela’s economic crisis, which has already led [nearly 8 million people]( to migrate under Maduro’s rule. It also reinforces the Biden administration’s decision in March to [reinstate oil sanctions]( on Venezuela after it found that Maduro’s government failed to deliver on promises of holding free and fair elections.

It’s a condition that happens when there is a tight or short piece of tissue that ties an infant’s tongue to the bottom of their mouth. Dentists are increasingly using medical lasers to cut the tissue, which can cost $800 or more. Experts estimate more than 100,000 infants may undergo these surgeries each year, though there’s no precise count. The AAP report cites a study showing that fewer than half of children diagnosed with tongue-tie have breastfeeding difficulties. What it means: Those early breastfeeding days can be challenging for a number of reasons like latching pain or sore breasts. The academy’s report encourages pediatricians to look into nonsurgical options first and recommends parents work with lactation specialists or feeding therapists to find less invasive methods. Still, that’s not a luxury everyone can afford or that insurance policies always cover. Some advocates suggest that tongue-tie release surgeries help with future problems like sleep apnea and speech delays.
