Quick Glance: Gun Manufacturers Seek US Supreme Court Appeal in Mexico's Lawsuit
- U.S. gun manufacturers are urging the U.S. Supreme Court to hear their challenge against Mexico's $10 billion lawsuit, accusing them of facilitating the trafficking of firearms to violent drug cartels along the U.S.-Mexico border.

- The companies argued that without the U.S. Supreme Court's intervention, the U.S. firearms industry would face years of costly litigation by a 'foreign sovereign' attempting to push the industry into adopting gun control measures rejected by American voters.
- In its 2021 lawsuit, Mexico alleged that the companies undermined its strict gun laws by designing, marketing, and distributing military-style assault weapons they knew would arm drug cartels, resulting in murders, extortions, and kidnappings in the country.

- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

Quick Glance: Arizona Republicans foil another effort to repeal 1864 abortion ban
- Arizona House Republicans once again thwarted an attempt on Wednesday to repeal the state's nearly complete abortion ban from 1864, leaving Democrats without a vote on their repeal bill for the second consecutive week.
- Despite facing pressure from influential conservatives, such as former President Trump and Senate hopeful Kari Lake, urging GOP leaders to lift the ban, the Republicans blocked the repeal.
- State House Democrats made a procedural maneuver to attempt to suspend House rules and bring the repeal bill to the floor for discussion. However, this action was rejected by the GOP majority, with only one Republican, Representative Matt Gress, crossing party lines to support bringing up the repeal bill.
- A similar endeavor to repeal the ban was obstructed by Republicans last week. Following persistent criticism of the law by Democrats both within and outside the state throughout the week, prominent figures like Trump and Lake recognized the political risks and advocated for a change in direction within the Legislature.
