Summary

TOP NEWS | On today’s Daily Signal Top News, we break down: The Supreme Court ruled 5-4 today in a case relating to the Biden administration’s so-called ghost gun restrictions.  Massachusetts Gov. Maura Healey has declared a state of emergency because of the “rapidly rising numbers of migrant families arriving” in her state “in need of shelter and services and a severe lack of shelter availability in the state,” according to the governor’s office.  Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’ presidential campaign has a new manager.  An Ohio school district’s policy enabling students to use the bathroom based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex surpassed a legal battle this week.
