(CNN) — If you live in the Southeast, you may have seen or heard something unusual on Thursday. A daytime fireball that was possibly dropped by a meteor was clearly visible in the sky — and it created a sonic boom.

Here’s what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and On with Your Day.

1. US-Iran

The Pentagon released new details about the US attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities last weekend, including how the military prepared for the mission, the crews who carried out the raid and how Iran tried to fortify one of the sites in advance of the bombing. However, Thursday’s briefing did not provide new intelligence supporting President Donald Trump’s assertion that the strikes “obliterated” Iran’s nuclear program. Both Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen. Dan Caine and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth referred questions about that to the intelligence agencies. Until all of the intel is gathered, the full extent of damage at the facilities remains unclear.

2. Trump threatens media

A lawyer representing President Trump has sent letters to CNN and The New York Times threatening legal action over their reporting on the US attack on Iran. Attorney Alejandro Brito alleged that the stories published on June 24 describing an early US intelligence assessment of the strikes were false and defamatory. Both media outlets rejected that claim. Trump has insisted that Iran’s nuclear enrichment sites were “completely and totally obliterated,” but the preliminary assessment from the Pentagon’s intelligence arm suggested the bombings did not destroy the core components of Iran’s nuclear program. Administration officials confirmed the existence of the intel and Trump said that anyone who leaked it to the press “should be prosecuted.” The president also described both media outlets as “fake news” and called for one of the three CNN reporters who broke the story to be fired. CNN replied: “We stand 100% behind Natasha Bertrand’s journalism and specifically her and her colleagues’ reporting” about the assessment.

3. Planned Parenthood

The Supreme Court on Thursday blocked Planned Parenthood from suing South Carolina over the state’s decision to pull its Medicaid funding because the organization also provides abortions. At issue was an executive order signed by Gov. Henry McMaster in 2018 that pulled Medicaid funding from the state’s two Planned Parenthood clinics because he claimed it would amount to a taxpayer subsidy for abortion. That order also blocked Medicaid patients from receiving other services at Planned Parenthood, including contraception, breast exams and testing for sexually transmitted diseases. The high court’s decision could prompt other red states to target Planned Parenthood and make it harder for Medicaid beneficiaries to choose their doctor. Today is the final day of the term and the Supreme Court is expected to hand down six rulings, including those dealing with Trump’s birthright citizenship order, a challenge from religious parents who want to opt their children out of reading LGBTQ books in school and a First Amendment suit over a Texas law that requires people to verify their age before accessing porn online.

4. Kilmar Abrego Garcia

Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the Maryland man who was mistakenly deported to El Salvador, jailed in the country’s notorious CECOT prison and returned to the US months later, is currently being detained in Tennessee. During a court hearing on Thursday, a Justice Department lawyer told the judge that the Trump administration plans to send Abrego Garcia to a “third country” but wouldn’t specify a timeline for the deportation. While the administration’s original deportation of Abrego Garcia violated a 2019 order from an immigration judge that said he could not be deported to his home country due to fears that he would face gang violence, that order did not preclude his deportation to another country.

5. Minnesota shooting

The wife of the man accused of shooting two Minnesota state lawmakers and their spouses on June 14 said she was “absolutely shocked, heartbroken and completely blindsided” by the attack. Vance Boelter is accused of killing Melissa Hortman, a member of the Minnesota House, and her husband, Mark, as well as injuring John Hoffman, a member of the Minnesota Senate, and his wife in a separate shooting. Boelter is facing numerous state and federal charges, including murder, firearms offenses and stalking. In a statement through her lawyer, Jenny Boelter offered her “deepest sympathies” to the victims’ families, and said her family had fully cooperated with authorities. The Hortmans will lie in state at the Minnesota Capitol today.
