Biden's tougher rules on 'ghost guns' backed by SCOTUS |
The Supreme Court on Tuesday backed a Biden administration effort to regulate "ghost guns." Ghost gun kits allow people to purchase parts that can be built into a weapon without the usual regulations that come with an assembled gun. President Joe Biden last year announced regulations requiring companies selling the kits to adhere to the same rules as other gunmakers, such as conducting background checks on customers and marking products with serial numbers. The Supreme Court agreed 5-4 to pause a lower court's ruling, allowing the rule to be enforced while the underlying case continues. What are ghost guns, and what does the ruling mean? |
What everyone's talking about |
Zoom wants employees back in the office |
After soaring to new heights when it came to remote work during the pandemic, even video communications company Zoom wants its workers back in the office. Joining a growing number of companies across America instituting return mandates, the San Jose, California-based business wants its own employees back in the office – at least part time. Calling it a hybrid approach "most effective for Zoom," a company spokesperson said Tuesday that employees who live near an office must work in person at least twice a week.

Trailing Trump, DeSantis ousts campaign manager |
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is shaking up his campaign crew. As he continues to retool a struggling presidential campaign that trails far behind former President Donald Trump in the polls, DeSantis is replacing his campaign manager, Generra Peck, with James Uthmeier, who has served as chief of staff in the governor's office. Peck is staying with the campaign as chief strategist, according to the campaign. The shakeup is the latest in a series of overhauls. DeSantis has cut staff twice to rein in spending that was rapidly depleting his campaign account. How the DeSantis campaign is doing. | Florida Gov.
