• UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was handed a big political setback today as the UK’s top court ruled he broke the law when he shut down Parliament ahead of a big Brexit deadline.

• It’s National Voter Registration Day and we’ve got all the details about how to make sure you’re on the rolls.

• Scientists say they’ve found a long-lost continent buried under southern Europe. Meet: Greater Adria.

theSkimm: The UN General Assembly kicked into high gear today and President Trump urged world leaders to take a page out of his ‘America First’ playbook. UN chief Antonio Guterres had a slightly different idea of how to tackle global problems. We’ll compare and contrast. Meanwhile: the UK’s top court has thrown a wrench in Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s political agenda, saying his move to shut down Parliament in the final weeks before Brexit was unlawful.
