A group of 26 Meta employees has filed a lawsuit alleging the company’s artificial intelligence-driven layoff process disproportionately targeted workers who were on protected medical, parental or family leave. Meta eliminated about 8,000 positions, roughly 10% of its workforce, during a round of layoffs in May. The lawsuit claims the company used internal AI systems, employee activity and keystroke-monitoring data, and AI token-usage dashboards to help determine which workers would lose their jobs. The employees allege people on protected leave were selected for layoffs at a disproportionate rate. The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Oakland, California.

The House has passed legislation that would make daylight saving time permanent across most of the United States, eliminating the twice-a-year clock changes. Supporters of the measure say keeping clocks on daylight saving time year-round would provide more evening daylight when Americans are most active. The bill would still allow states to opt out if their legislatures choose to do so before the law takes effect. The proposal now heads to the Senate, where its future remains uncertain. It must pass the Senate and be signed by the president before it can become law.

Fighting between the United States and Iran intensified Wednesday as the U.S. reimposed its naval blockade on Iranian ports and launched another wave of strikes, prompting fresh threats from Tehran over energy exports and shipping in the Strait of Hormuz. The renewed hostilities come after President Donald Trump ordered the blockade restored, saying it is aimed at preventing Iranian attacks on commercial shipping and pressuring Tehran back to the negotiating table. Iranian officials responded by warning they could halt additional Middle East energy exports if the blockade continues. The escalating conflict has further undermined hopes of reviving a temporary agreement that had been intended to reduce tensions and restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most important energy corridors.
