SCOTUS Reinstates Texas Map; Iran Talks Stall; Measles Outbreaks Spread Nationwide

Separately, the Court heard oral arguments in a case that could limit Americans' ability to sue pesticide manufacturers over alleged health harms. U.S.-Iran nuclear negotiations remain at an impasse, with Iran proposing to separate Strait of Hormuz discussions from nuclear talks, while South Carolina's measles outbreak has ended but over 20 active outbreaks continue across the country.
