that breaking news is coming from the court of appeals and being called a setback for the affordable health care act. >> a decision that will be a game changer, especially for those people who bought their health care coverage through the federal exchange. in other words, through health care.gov. the court ruled that tax credits do not apply to the federal exchange. so, there were several states that did not have a state exchange set up. that's why those people are going through the federal exchange, states like virginia. the irs was granting subsidies, tax breaks for anyone who b their health care coverage through one of these state exchanges. the irs wanted to extend that to include the federal exchange. now we have the court of appeals saying that it does not apply to the federal exchange.

this is going to have a big effect. it will affect half of the americans who bought their health insurance through that federal exchange and also on the health insurance markets. there is a hold here. this will not take effect for a week. we expect that the federal government will ask for a stay that will likely be granted until the case can go to the supreme court. we're not sure what the immediate impact on this will be. this is likely gog be going out to the high court to make the ultimate decision. again, that's the ruling from the dc court of appeals, saying no tax breaks for anyone who bought their health care coverage through the federal exchange. healthcare.gov. >> huge deal for sure. richard jordan, thank you for that. police are searching for evidence at three different locations after a man's body was found behind a shopping center. his family is already demanding answers from investigators. the victim was found along huron avenue, 2:00 this morning. megan mcgrath has been there all morning and is live with the

avenue. 911 call brought police there just before 2:00 in the morning. that's where the man's body was found. >> he wasn't moving. i called the police. >> reporter: a witness in the alley and didn't want to be identifi ss e im got into an argument with several people. >> i saw two guys, first two guys fighting. then they left. then i saw the girl and four other guys. and that's when i left. that's when i left. when i came back, i saw someone laying in the alley and it was him. >> reporter: as police collected evidence in the alley another did the same down the street. the playground is encircled by crime tape and in front of the apartment building, more crime tape and more red shoe prints. there are a number of surveillance cameras in the area, including a couple on the

liquor store and another one on the corner around the side of the building across the street. it's unclear, though, at this point whether any of the cameras caught anything that might be useful to police but certainly you can bet that's something they're going to be looking at. at this point, police have not released the name of the man who was killed. megan mcgrath, news 4. >> megan, thank you. howard university has a new president. dr. wayne frederick has been appointed. the school is going through a tough time. last yer, moody's downgraded the credit rating. the inaugural ceremony will most likely happen next year. >> we turn to the weather and the return of heat and humidity. storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein is joining us with the forecast. >> live view from our city camera. the humidity has gotten even thicker than it was yesterday. it was pretty steamy yesterday and today and the day goes on.

cnbc's political reporter joins us for this, mark murray, good morning. >> good morning. >> voter turnout down several percent in 20 different states according to the center for the study of american electorate. why do you think that is? >> we're talking about the primary electorate, primaries we've seen in maryland, virginia and across the country. one thing that's going on -- we noticed this in elections going back to 2013. american voters are tuning out. it may have to do with president obama's lower approval ratings, congress' even lower approval ratings, frustrations of washington and the whole political process. we are seeing people that aren't showing up. this doesn't necessarily predict what's going to happen in november. we're talking about the primary versus the general electorate. if the primary is any guide, any indication, there won't be as many people turning out to the polls. that will have some interesting consequences in the november elections. >> in the interim, do you think there's any additional attention paid to what we're seeing by the

primaries to the candidates in getting more people out for the general election? >> i don't think it has to do with get out the vote but people's frustration with politics. people are look at washington and what politics is getting them and they're very frustrated. in a lot of ways i'm not surprised that turnout is down. it is a problem. and it's important for them to get people more engage zpld 're still looking at this issue, the crisis along the border, with undocumented children coming across the border and the fact that congress has not taken any action on that. >> it's another partisan food fight. the obama administration has asked for $3.7 billion to help further humanitarian as well as more border enforcement. republicans are saying we need you to change this 2008 law that reflects to central american kids and refugees and the processing of them.

and until this gets resolved democrats are on one side, republicans are on the other and it all leads to something not getting done. $3.7 billion. and to a lot of viewers that's a lot of money. when it comes to the federal government, this is a very small -- one of the easiest climbs in politics and that can't even get done. that's very telling. >> it is. mark, appreciate that. for more from mark and the rest of the nbc news political team check out first read on nbcnews.com. washington state dealing with its biggest wildfire ever. it's now taken its first life. 67-year-old rob gazuski died trying to save his home. it covers 379 square miles, four times the size of seattle and it is only 2% contained right now. storm team 4 meteorologist tom kierein is joining us to talk about our weather. you told us the humidity was coming back. and, boy, did it.

ordinary, reason for pause? >> correct. yes. >> deodorant soaps. lots of folks use. >> big controversy. triclosan is the active ingredient in most soaps, dial, lever 2000, including hand sanitizers. the concern is that this can cause alteration in your hormones or immune imbalance. the fda has really stated that if the companies can't prove that just regular soap and water is better than deodorant soap and water, then they shouldn't be on the shelves. but this ingredient is just not in cleansers. it's on yoga mats and countertops and where you're cutting meat and things like that. baby bottles. it's all in our environment. so, they would have to really ban it from a lot of different sources. >> so the reaction that happens,

if you come in contact with that particular chemical? >> they're saying long term it causes hormonal imbalance or immune alteration. they don't really know the details of it, but they're having the companies prove it. >> last thing people need to think about or maybe push away is their bleaching agents, skin bleaching, right? >> that contain hydrocor inform one. in certain parts of europe, people use it to lighten their skin. they're seeing an increase risk of what we call ocrinosis. which is instead of lightening the skin, darkening the skin. clinical trials done with myself at 150 times the dose, there have been renal cancers. the fda is like, if there's any risk of cancer in any host that they tested in, we want to make sure it's safe for humans as well. >> great information. lot of important information folks need to know. a royal tea party is taking
