Here are the stories TIME is watching this Monday, June 30.

[SCOTUS](http://time.com/2940511/justices-cant-make-employers-cover-contraception/ "undefined") rules in a 5-4 decision that “closely held” companies don’t have to cover contraception in employee healthcare plans mandated by Obamacare, if they have religious objections.

ISIS declares a new [Caliphate](http://time.com/2938317/isis-militants-declare-islamist-caliphate/ "undefined"), or Islamic state, naming the group’s shadowy leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi Caliph. The move gives Jihadists worldwide a rallying point in the Middle East.

[General Motors](http://time.com/2940531/gm-ignition-faulty-defect-compensation/ "undefined") announces that there will be no cap on its compensation to the families of those whose deaths are linked to faulty ignition switches in its vehicles.

And finally, a Facebook data scientist [apologizes](http://time.com/2939100/facebook-study-emotions-adam-kramer/ "undefined") for making people sad on the social networking company. Adam Kramer used the social networking site as a laboratory to test the effects of positive and negative Facebook statuses had on others.

The Brief is published daily on weekdays.
