REUTERS/Neil Hall[/caption] This week culminated in the U.K.’s historic decision to leave the European Union, which caused Prime Minister David Cameron to announce he will step down from his office and global markets to decline. The surprising outcome followed a week of dramatic politics in the U.S. as Democratic members of Congress staged a sit-in on the House floor to draw attention to gun control, the Supreme Court ruled on immigration and affirmative action and Donald Trump fired his campaign manager, Corey Lewandowski. Get caught up on some of the biggest stories of the week, as they appeared in The Daily Edition. 1. U.K. Voters Back Brexit, Will Leave European Union—NBC News, Cassandra Vinograd Top line: “Britain has voted to leave the European Union in a historic referendum that forced the country’s prime minister to step down, upended markets and set the stage for a messy untangling with far-reaching implications…The vote served as an indictment of Britain’s government and a barometer of domestic fears about immigration and the economy.” Topic to follow: Brexit 2. Brexit: David Cameron to quit after UK votes to leave EU—BBC Top line: “He would attempt to “steady the ship” over the coming weeks and months, but that it would be for the new prime minister to carry out negotiations with the EU and invoke Article 50 of the Lisbon Treaty, which would give the UK two years to negotiate its withdrawal, he said. ‘The British people have voted to leave the European Union and their will must be respected,’ said Mr Cameron. ‘The will of the British people is an instruction that must be delivered.'” Top line: David Cameron 3. Democrats End Sit-In After 25 Hours, Drawing Attention to Gun Control—The New York Time, David M. Herszenhorn and Emmarie Huetteman Top line: “The tactics were more dramatic, a 25-hour siege by House Democrats. The words were more urgent, as Senators debated a compromise offered by a Republican. But by day’s end on Thursday, Congress was in the same place: a fierce stalemate over the nation’s gun laws, even with the additional pressure from the mass shooting in Orlando, Fla…In the House, Democrats on Thursday ended their 25-hour sit-in — a protest Speaker Paul D. Ryan called a high-profile stunt that undermined the basic institutions of government.” Topic to follow: U.S. Congress [caption id="attachment_28885" align="alignnone" width="1024"] House Assistant Minority Leader James Clyburn, Rep.

Deadlocked Supreme Court blocks Obama on immigration—USA Today, Richard Wolf Top line: “The Supreme Court dealt a likely fatal blow Thursday to President Obama’s effort to protect millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation and allow them to seek work permits, deadlocking 4-4 over a plan that had divided the nation as well as the justices. The tie vote leaves intact a preliminary injunction that stopped the program in its tracks more than a year ago, after Texas and 25 other states claimed Obama lacked the authority to circumvent Congress. While the case now will return to Texas for further review, it’s unlikely the lower federal courts that blocked the program will reverse themselves.” Topic to follow: U.S. Supreme Court [caption id="attachment_28888" align="alignnone" width="1024"] President Barack Obama speaks in briefing room in Washington, D.C., U.S., on Thursday, June 23, 2016 after the Supreme Court divided evenly over Obama’s plan to shield as many as 4 million unauthorized immigrants from deportation.
