The 6 to 3 ruling along ideological lines allows the Department of Homeland Security to strip more than 330,000 Haitians and about 4,000 Syrians of temporary protective status.

There are approximately a million people from a dozen countries who've been designated with TPS following natural disasters, armed conflicts or other extraordinary conditions. They've been vetted and allowed to live and work legally in the US since they cannot return safely to their home countries. Vanessa Romo, NPR News.

In case you were wondering, humans and great apes have been laughing in similar ways going back 15 million years, according to research at the University of Warwick in England. Scientists say it matters because it opens a window on the evolution of communication. Researchers literally tickled 13 captive apes and recorded the results decades later. A new study finds similar rhythms in the chuckles and timing between humans and great apes. This is unique, they say, because, for example, rats when tickled, respond with high pitched squeaks.
