A federal appeals court has invalidated New Jersey's decades-old bans on so-called assault firearms and large-capacity magazines, ruling both restrictions violate the Second Amendment. The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals handed down a 10-5 decision on Friday, the first time any federal appeals court in the country has struck down a state-level assault weapons ban. The ruling lands at a moment when the legal ground beneath state gun-control regimes is shifting fast. The U.S. Supreme Court has already agreed to hear challenges to similar bans from Illinois and Connecticut, and a decision could come by next summer. For the millions of law-abiding gun owners who have watched blue-state legislatures treat their constitutional rights as a…Open

And even one of the mayor's own political allies has called the idea legally baseless. As the New York Post reported ,…Open

Smoke from Canadian wildfires shrouded the Manhattan skyline on July 16, choked residents across Michigan, and pushed air quality into unhealthy territory in states across the northern United States. The response from Washington was swift and pointed: President Trump accused Ottawa of "Willful Negligence" in managing its vast forests and threatened to fold the economic cost of cross-border smoke into tariffs on Canadian imports. Trump's broadside, posted on Truth Social, did not arrive in a vacuum. A Canadian Senate committee report, forestry experts, and a delegation of Republican lawmakers had already been building the same case, that Canada's refusal to thin its forests, cut firebreaks, and conduct prescribed burns has turned a natural…Open
