Johnson says he won't change rules for ousting speakers after warnings from GOP hard-liners

abcnews.go.com/Politics/mike-johnson-wont-change-rules-ousting-house-speakers/story

Quick Glance: Ukraine, Israel Aid Bill Advances in House

The House has advanced a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian support with rare bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a strategy to secure support for wartime funding, especially for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.

President Joe Biden and even Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump have endorsed the speaker's efforts.

To pass each bill, complex bipartisan coalitions need to be formed by Johnson due to his slim Republican majority in the House, relying on Democratic support.

Biden to close ‘gun-show loophole’ and expand background checks for firearms: New rule comes under legislation passed after Uvalde, Texas, shooting.

politico.com/news/2024/04/11/biden-gun-show-firearms-rule-00151655

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Maine Republicans Censured Over Connecting Mass Shooting to God's Wrath on Abortion Law

Two Maine Republican lawmakers faced censure on Thursday for linking the state's deadliest mass shooting to God's anger over a bill expanding abortion access.

Following discussions on a new legislative proposal, Michael Lemelin and Shelley Rudnicki were formally reprimanded by the chamber.

Initial remarks triggered swift bipartisan condemnation in Maine's Democrat-led House of Representatives.

A censure vote by the House resulted in both legislators being barred from speaking or voting until issuing apologies.

Vatican blasts gender-affirming surgery, surrogacy and gender theory as violations of human dignity

nbcnews.com/news/world/vatican-blasts-gender-affirming-surgery-surrogacy-gender-theory-rcna146824

Quick Glance: Vatican Denounces Gender Surgery, Surrogacy, and Gender Theory

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.

Quick Glance: Court Decision Expected on Restrictive New Law

A gay couple, Suleman, 30, an entrepreneur, and Kwame, 30, a student, discuss the passage of Ghana's anti-LGBT bill with Reuters on March 17, 2024.

Parliament passed a law that would further restrict the rights of the LGBT community. President Akufo-Addo has delayed signing it, citing two pending challenges at the Supreme Court.

Fear of worsening persecution of LGBT individuals and uncertainty about the law's broader social impact weigh on the community and activists in Ghana.

Homophobia is pervasive, and the enactment of the new law could lead to increased violence against LGBT individuals as the President hesitates to sign, triggering political controversies.
