Deadly bus crash, now a flashpoint: Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says the driver, identified as 48-year-old Jing Dong, was legally in the U.S. but got his New York CDL despite not speaking English, reigniting the fight over who gets to operate commercial vehicles on American roads. With officials pushing tighter enforcement and new restrictions — including “Delilah’s Law,” aimed at blocking undocumented immigrants from getting CDLs after a fatal 2024 truck crash — the stakes are now front and center: safety, state oversight, and who gets behind the wheel.

Wallis Simpson (1896)June 19, 2026
Simpson was an American socialite for whom English King Edward VIII voluntarily abdicated the throne. Their relationship caused a furor in England because the Church of England at the time did not allow people with living ex-spouses to marry, and, as king, Edward was also head of the church. Simpson's two ex-husbands were still alive when she married Edward on June 3, 1937, just six months after he relinquished his title. How did Wallis and Edward spend the rest of their lives together?

New Church DayJune 19, 2026
New Church Day refers to the Church of the New Jerusalem, founded in London in the late 18th century by the disciples of Emanuel Swedenborg. Swedenborg's followers believe that in 1757 there was a great judgment in the spiritual world, and that as a result the evil spirits were separated from the good and a new heaven was established. June 19 is the date on which Swedenborg's disciples met in 1770 to organize the New Church. Every year on this day, members of the New Church, called Swedenborgians, meet to conduct important church business and to commemorate the church's founding.
