🌥️Foggy morning, then partly sunny with highs in the 70s. Sunset is at 8 p.m. on the dot.

Today older adults in Randolph will be celebrating the closing ceremonies of their 10th annual senior olympics, with events like walking, softball throwing, pickleball and bowling.

“We always knew isolation is a trouble spot for our seniors, and this just gets them out of their shell,” explained Keri Sullivan, Randolph’s elder affairs director.

It’s important to keep moving, said competitor Toby Lynne Schwartz, 81. Her favorite events: “the ones that I win the medals in.”

Four Things to Know

Supreme Court justices yesterday heard arguments in a lawsuit in which 22 states, including Massachusetts, are looking to block President Donald Trump’s executive order banning automatic citizenship for all babies born in the U.S. (The 14th Amendment says that “All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States.”)

Justices’ questions focused on a different issue: can federal district court judges issue rulings that apply to the whole country? Justices did not say when they expect to rule, but typically release all their opinions by late June or early July.

Former employees of the nonprofit grocery chain Daily Table say they’re losing more than just a job. “Many of us come from the communities that we serve. I was born and raised in Roxbury. I could see my community right out the window,” said Leia Doe, who started working at the Cambridge store and rose up to a management position. “We can always find another job, but what happens to the people that depend on us?”

Daily Table paid workers more than other grocery stores and tried to keep prices low. The organization’s founder and chairman, Doug Rauch, said they’re closing because of three “once-in-a-lifetime events:” the COVID pandemic, inflation, and current federal cuts to USDA grants.

Mayor Michelle Wu is defending not making any cuts to the city budget as Boston faces the potential loss of $300 million in federal funding. Wu defended her budget against mayoral challenger Josh Kraft, who has criticized her for not being willing to cut even 1% from the city’s $4.8 billion spending plan.

“We put forward what a 1% cut would look like for the City of Boston. That means delaying police, fire, EMS classes. That means removing investments that go out to our community members. The city budget as it stands delivers services,” said Wu at a mayoral candidate forum last night put on by the Boston Ward Committee Democrats.

The two other candidates who participated in the forum, which was moderated by GBH’s Saraya Wintersmith, were community activists Domingo DaRosa and Alex Alex.

Brick by brick: The LEGO Group, makers of the plastic bricks and building sets, opened its new head office for the Americas yesterday on Boylston Street, across the street from the Green Line’s Hynes Convention Center stop. The company plans to move its operations there from an office in Enfield, Connecticut.

“We have a lot of ambitious plans and we start off from a really great place,” said Skip Kodak, the company’s senior president of global commercial operations.


A garden sanctuary tends to the needs of overwhelmed caregivers

Massachusetts has about 780,000 unpaid family caregivers, according to AARP — people who care for loved ones who are unable to care for themselves because of aging, dementia, disabilities and more. While almost all caregivers AARP surveyed said they get a sense of purpose from caring for their loved ones, they also said that they almost never feel relaxed.

“Caregivers need help,” said Jennifer Benson, state director of AARP Massachusetts.

That’s why Mary MacDonald created the Rest Stop Ranch in Topsfield. She cared for her own mother, Margaret, who was diagnosed with dementia when Mary was 35.

After her mother died, Mary opened the retreat as a respite center where caregivers can come with the people they care for to be in nature, get some support and take a few deep breaths.

“They don’t even realize the level of chronic stress that they’ve been under,” MacDonald said. “We see people physically letting go of layers of their stress, and the tears start to flow. And then they start saying, ‘Oh my gosh, I’m so sorry. I don’t know why I’m emotional.’”

Mary said she originally designed it for dementia caregivers, but has since expanded to welcome people with all kinds of disabilities, autistic people and their caregivers. It’s accessible to people who use wheelchairs, canes and other mobility devices — Mary’s mother Margaret used a wheelchair in her last year, and wanted to get as close to flowers as she could.
