Virginia school district accused of religious discrimination in transgender locker room case
A Virginia school district has dismissed a Title IX investigation into a Muslim student who raised concerns about sharing a locker room with a transgender student.

The district maintains that it is committed to a safe and inclusive environment for all students.

US still has no UN ambassador as world leaders convene amid multifront crises
The U.S. has been without a United Nations ambassador for nearly 150 days since President Trump took office, hindering its ability to influence global geopolitics. Former National Security Advisor Mike Waltz was nominated for the position on May 1, but his nomination process is only now progressing.

Experts warn that the absence of a Senate-confirmed ambassador diminishes U.S. diplomatic leverage at a critical time, with multiple international crises ongoing. While the U.S. maintains representation at the U.N., the lack of a dedicated ambassador limits its effectiveness in negotiations and discussions with other nations.

There’s Suddenly A 40% Chance ‘Planet Nine’ Exists — What To Know
Researchers from Rice University and the Planetary Science Institute suggest a 40% chance that a hypothetical "Planet Nine" exists in the outer solar system. Their study indicates that wide-orbit planets may naturally form due to gravitational interactions among giant planets.

Objects beyond Neptune show similar elongated orbits, hinting at the gravitational influence of an unseen planet. The Vera C. Rubin Observatory, set to start operations in 2025, may provide more insights into this potential discovery.
