❗️🔫 The US Supreme Court has struck down a New York gun law that restricts carrying a concealed gun outside one's home.
In a 6-to-3 ruling, the court determined that New York’s licensing requirement violates the Second Amendment’s guarantee of US citizens' “right to keep and bear arms.”
The ruling comes as Congress is actively working on gun legislation following recent mass shootings in Texas, New York and California.

💰The comicbook where Wonder Woman made her DC Universe debut has been sold for $1.6 million at a Heritage auction.
The book was published in 1941, and a collector had preserved a copy of it in mint condition ever since, with comicbook graders Certified Guaranty Company (CGC) classifying it a 9.4 out of 10.
Commenting on the copy, CGC said, “No comic book that is primarily sought for its connection to a female superhero had ever realized more than $1 million at auction until now.” The book’s auction has also broken the previous record for this issue — a 2017 sale that went for $936,223.

❗️🔫 The US Senate has moved forward bipartisan gun control legislation, setting the stage for the chamber to vote on its passage after further debate.
The legislation would enhance background checks for firearm buyers under 21 years old, restrict firearm ownership by convicted domestic abusers, provide funding for states to develop so-called "red flag" laws and increase spending on mental health services.

🚛 FedEx will soon photograph your package to prove it was delivered
“This is something e-commerce merchants and customers have been asking for, and we are proud to be the first to announce this service will be available to residential customers,” Brie Carere, FedEx’s chief customer officer, said in a press release announcing the program today.
The new program will obviously be a good source of protection for FedEx, and it should also help business owners whose customers report that their package hasn’t been delivered. It will also be a good resource for customers to figure out whether or not packages ever made it to their door, especially if they’ve gone missing.
FedEx says that the service will first be available for FedEx Delivery Manager users in “select markets” before launching to customers in the US and Canada in time for the holiday shipping season.

🦠 US boosts monkeypox testing, 142 cases confirmed
The Biden administration has started shipping monkeypox tests to commercial laboratories, in a bid to speed diagnoses for suspected infections for the virus that has already infected at least 142 people in the US.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is sending tests to labs, including Aegis Science, Labcorp, Mayo Clinic Laboratories, Quest Diagnostics and Sonic Healthcare, which it said would significantly expand the nation’s capacity to test for monkeypox. Previously, testing has largely been confined to public health labs, which combined have a capacity of about 8,000 tests per week.
Most people recover from monkeypox within weeks, but the disease is fatal for up to 1 in 10 people, according to the World Health Organization.

🚫 Juul’s e-cigarettes can’t be sold in the US
Juul must remove its e-cigarette products from the American market, the US Food and Drug Administration announced Thursday. The agency rejected the company’s application to sell tobacco- and menthol-flavored e-cigarettes.
The FDA said it rejected Juul’s application because there wasn’t enough evidence to evaluate any potential toxicological risks of Juul’s products. It’s rejected over 1 million flavored e-cigarette products and authorized a handful of tobacco-flavored vapes — including from Juul competitors the R.J. Reynolds Vapor Company and NJoy.
The FDA has said its review process for e-cigarettes and vapes focuses on whether the potential benefits to adult smokers (who may use them to quit smoking) outweigh the risks of hooking kids and teens on nicotine.

🔋 New White House partnership aims to speed construction of offshore wind farms
The White House and 11 governors from East Coast states forged a new partnership on Thursday to build up domestic supply chains for offshore wind farms and related infrastructure. The new Federal-State Offshore Wind Implementation Partnership includes governors from Connecticut, Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island.
Biden plans to expand US offshore wind capacity from 42 megawatts today to 30,000 by 2030. That 2030 target should be enough clean energy capacity to power 10 million homes. Getting all this done will require between 12,300 and 49,000 full-time workers on average annually, according to the March report.

⛪ FBI raids Georgia churches near military bases
Two Georgia churches, one in Hinesville and another in the Augusta area were being raided by the FBI. Thursday morning, FBI agents and police officers swarmed the House of Prayer Church in the 2500 block of Airport Road around 8 am.
The church has been under fire throughout recent years for abuse allegations and manipulation of members. A protest was held outside the House of Prayer in May 2017 with former members alleging the church was actually a cult. “The concern is that he has made us merchandise. It’s no longer a church. It’s just a fraudulent, money-making empire. It used to be a church,” former church member Jenessa Wright said.
The FBI has not released a statement regarding the raids.
