In a major test of the Second Amendment, the Supreme Court on Friday upheld a federal law that bans guns for those subject to domestic violence restraining orders (DVROs).

Both liberal and conservative justices agreed with the Biden administration that there was a history and tradition of keeping firearms from dangerous persons, despite the lack of any specific ban that may have been in place when the Constitution was enacted in the 1790s.

The White House announced new boosts to clean energy subsidies, part of its efforts to combat climate change and promote renewable energy sources.
The subsidies will provide billions of dollars in tax credits and other incentives for businesses and individuals to invest in clean energy projects, such as solar and wind power, electric vehicles, and energy-efficient buildings.
The administration estimates that the subsidies will save consumers billions of dollars on their energy bills, create millions of jobs, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by up to 40%.
According to party strategists, Democrats are expressing concerns about President Biden's popularity and enthusiasm for his potential re-election bid in 2024.
Polls show that Biden's approval ratings are low, and some Democrats are worried that he may not be a strong enough candidate to defeat former President Donald Trump or other Republican challengers.
Strategists are urging Biden to address the concerns of Democratic voters, including inflation, the economy, and the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, to improve his chances of winning re-election.
