Summary

Today’s Headlines: In Arizona, Republican lawmakers blocked a bill aimed at repealing the state's 1864 abortion ban, with one Republican briefly supporting the repeal before a colleague moved to adjourn, effectively stalling the vote. Meanwhile, the Biden administration announced a major gun control measure, closing the gun show loophole and requiring all gun dealers to obtain federal licenses and conduct background checks regardless of where they sell firearms. However, in Tennessee, the state senate advanced a bill allowing teachers to be armed in public schools, prompting outrage from gun control advocates and families of shooting victims. Additionally, OJ Simpson passed away after battling prostate cancer, just two months after claiming he was in good health. Finally, as if election year politics weren't enough, a double cicada year is upon us, with two broods of periodical cicadas emerging across the midwest, southeast, and Illinois, promising an onslaught of relentless buzzing.
