Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there!

Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart. • The year’s first significant heat wave is expected to roast a large portion of the United States with potentially record-breaking high temperatures, four days away from summer’s official start. The National Weather Service issued warnings for people in the South and Midwest.• A Texas bankruptcy judge rejected a proposed liquidation of conspiracy theorist Alex Jones’ company, saying it was in the best interest of the creditors. But the judge approved a separate liquidation of Jones’ personal assets.• House Speaker Mike Johnson said he will move in federal court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland to obtain audio recordings of President Joe Biden, after the Justice Department declined to act on the House’s contempt referral.• A federal investigation is underway after a Southwest Airlines flight plunged toward the ocean off the coast of a Hawaiian island. Bloomberg reported that the airline sent a memo to pilots indicating a “newer” first officer was flying at the time and inadvertently pushed forward on the control column.• Catherine, Princess of Wales joined other British royals on the balcony of Buckingham Palace for the King’s official birthday, capping her first public appearance since being diagnosed with cancer. MondayApril 15 may be far in the rearview mirror for most Americans, but others are facing a crucial deadline today. June 17 is when US citizens living and working abroad must file their annual tax returns. It’s also the day that taxpayers whose income is not subject to withholding need to make their second quarter estimated tax payment. Finally, for taxpayers living in areas impacted by severe storms and natural disasters, such as certain counties in California, Michigan and Tennessee, it’s time to file. The IRS has set deadlines beyond June 17 for parts of several other states hit by disasters in March and April. Click here for the full list. TuesdayDeparting Boeing CEO Dave Calhoun is set to testify before a Senate panel, two months after a whistleblower alleged during a hearing that the aircraft maker was “putting out defective airplanes.” Boeing had been under intense scrutiny following two fatal crashes of its 737 Max in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people, and a door plug that blew out of the side of an Alaska Airlines 737 Max in January. An audit of Boeing procedures by the FAA in the wake of the Alaska Airlines incident found numerous “non-compliance issues.” Calhoun has said he intends to leave the beleaguered company by the end of the year. Boeing made headlines again last week when the FAA announced it’s investigating why a 737 Max 8 experienced a rare, unsafe back-and-forth roll during a flight in May. WednesdayJune 19 is Juneteenth, a federal holiday commemorating the end of slavery in the US. Financial markets, post offices and most banks will be closed.
