DeepSummary
The Supreme Court has upheld a federal law that bars guns for domestic abusers, rejecting an argument by gun rights groups that the prohibition violated the Second Amendment. Heat advisories and warnings have been issued for much of the northeastern US, with Dr. Sanjay Gupta explaining the potential health impacts of extreme heat and how to stay safe.
A New York judge has dismissed 30 trespassing cases against people arrested during a pro-Palestinian protest at Columbia University in April, with the district attorney's office citing limited video evidence. However, 14 defendants still face charges and have refused plea deals.
The median price for a previously owned home in the US has hit a new high of nearly $420,000, with climbing costs and high mortgage rates making the American dream of homeownership increasingly unaffordable.
