Biden's Gun Control Push Faces Legal Challenges as Texas Lawsuit Questions Constitutionality
1. Fox News Politics Newsletter: Washington Update and 2024 Campaign Trail News
President Biden's executive actions on gun control are facing legal challenges, with a lawsuit filed in Texas arguing that they are unconstitutional. The lawsuit, brought by gun rights groups and individuals, contends that the Biden administration's actions infringe on the Second Amendment right to bear arms. The lawsuit specifically targets new regulations on "ghost guns," untraceable firearms that can be assembled at home, and a ban on bump stocks, devices that allow semi-automatic rifles to fire more rapidly.
The Biden administration has defended its gun control measures as necessary steps to reduce gun violence. However, critics argue that the actions are an overreach of federal authority and will not effectively address the root causes of gun violence. The outcome of the lawsuit could have significant implications for the future of gun control in the United States.

Supreme Court Poised to Rule on Abortion Rights in Landmark Case
The Supreme Court is poised to issue a landmark ruling on abortion rights in the coming weeks, with a case that could potentially overturn Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that legalized abortion nationwide. The case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, challenges a Mississippi law that bans abortions after 15 weeks of gestation. The court's conservative majority is expected to uphold the Mississippi law, which could lead to a significant rollback of abortion rights in the United States.
Abortion rights advocates have condemned the Mississippi law and the potential overturning of Roe v. Wade, arguing that it would have a devastating impact on women's health and reproductive freedom. Anti-abortion groups, on the other hand, have hailed the law as a victory for the unborn and have urged the court to overturn Roe v. Wade. The Supreme Court's ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization is expected to have far-reaching consequences for abortion rights in the United States.

The Secret Service has come under intense scrutiny following the incident, with critics questioning the agency's ability to protect the president and other high-ranking officials.
Murray and the FBI official are expected to provide details about the investigation into the assassination attempt and the measures that have been taken to improve security. The hearing could also shed light on the broader challenges facing the Secret Service, which has been criticized for its handling of other high-profile incidents, including the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
