Today’s Headlines: The Supreme Court ruled 6-3 that the Trump administration's ban on bump stocks was an unconstitutional overreach of executive power, with Justice Sonia Sotomayor joining the majority opinion. This decision highlights the court's stance on executive authority and its limits, even in matters involving public safety and gun control. Over the weekend, two separate shootings occurred, one during a Juneteenth celebration in Texas, resulting in two deaths and several injuries, and another in Rochester Hills, Michigan, where nine people were injured before the suspect died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound. Israel announced a daily "tactical pause" in Rafah to allow more humanitarian aid into Gaza, amidst ongoing conflicts and new U.S. sanctions against the Israeli group Tzav 9 for blocking aid convoys. Alex Jones was ordered to liquidate personal assets to help repay $1.5 billion owed to Sandy Hook victims, although he can retain his company Infowars, his $2.8 million ranch, gun collection, and cryogenic chamber, reflecting the ongoing legal and financial repercussions of his actions. Lastly, extreme heat is expected this week across the Midwest and East Coast, with temperatures reaching 90 to 100 degrees, posing significant health risks and stressing the need for adequate preparedness and response measures.
