On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The bipartisan debt ceiling deal now heads to the Senate after clearing the US House by a wide margin, with sizable Democratic support - a victory for House Speaker Kevin McCarthy. The vote was 314 to 117. Meanwhile, delivering the commencement speech to graduating cadets at the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, President Joe Biden said today, “This day is a day to celebrate!” And a recent opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal sharply criticizes the Los Angeles Dodgers for its decision to honor a transgender group that openly mocks the Catholic faith. Matthew Hennessey, an opinion columnist at the Wall Street Journal, joins to share why he felt the need to write the story. A growing number of Major League Baseball players are also speaking out against the LA Dodgers. EWTN News legal analyst and director of the Conscience Project, Andrea Picciotti-Bayer, joins to discuss if a player is under contact, whether they could face legal repercussions if they voice their opinion or protest in any way. Finally this evening, following a several years-long break because of the coronavirus pandemic, the Vatican Observatory Summer School is welcoming students back this week. Astronomer and Historian with the Vatican Observatory, Chris Graney, joins to tell us more about the summer school and how it will look post-pandemic. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
