<p>Good morning!🙋🏼♀️ I'm Nicole Fallert. I just wanna to be held like this golden retriever.</p>
<p>Quick look at Monday's news: -</p>
<p>Search and rescue efforts press onward in central Texas following a deadly flash flood.</p>
<p>Will tariff deals with foreign trade partners actually happen?</p>
<p>About 39 million Americans don't use AC.</p>
<p>Camp Mystic and a deadly Texas flash flood</p>
<p>Authorities continue a desperate search to find missing people after historic flash floods swept across central Texas — including 10 children from Camp Mystic, an all-girls camp.</p>
<p>The death toll rises as forecasters warn of more rain: State and local authorities said at least 81 people have died in flooding triggered by unrelenting rain Thursday night into Friday.</p>
<p>What happened at Camp Mystic? Anguished parents await updates on the children still missing from a 99-year-old nondenominational Christian summer camp caught in the deluge.</p>
<p>Warnings for the flooding came with little time to act. The hilly terrain and the trickiness of predicting flash floods made forecasting – and alerting communities along the Guadalupe River in real time – particularly challenging.</p>
<p>How bad was the flooding and is the weather expected to get worse? The gauge on the Guadalupe River near Kerrville surged from less than two feet to more than 34 feet in just over an hour on July 4. On Sunday, forecasters expected several more inches of rain and warned of additional flooding and a worsening of conditions on the ground.</p>
<p>🤝 Here's how to help in the aftermath of the Texas flooding.</p>

You lose 200 jobs from doctors and nurses and orderlies and all of a sudden the coffee shop does worse, the bank doesn't have as many folks coming in. This is going to hit rural America right in the face.'</p>
<p>~ Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear argued in a Sunday interview the Medicaid cuts in President Donald Trump's sweeping tax policy bill will have a "devastating" impact on rural communities.</p>

<p>A tariff deadline looms this week</p>
<p>The United States is close to clinching several trade deals ahead of a July 9 deadline when higher tariffs were due to kick in, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said, predicting several big announcements in coming days. Bessent told CNN's "State of the Union" that President Donald Trump would also send out letters to 100 smaller countries with whom the U.S. doesn't have much trade, notifying them that they would face higher tariff rates first set on April 2 and then suspended until July 9 by the start of next month. See where trade agreements stand now.</p>
<p>Can you turn the AC off?</p>
<p>Roughly 12% of Americans don't use AC, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. While many can't afford it or don't need it because they live in cooler climates, others choose to forgo air conditioning to lower their carbon footprint. Residential energy use, which includes cooling, heating and powering homes, accounts for roughly 20% of greenhouse gas emissions in the U.S., experts say, and many Americans are switching their AC "off" to do better for the planet. Here's how giving up AC could break the "vicious cycle" of climate change.</p>
