In its next term, the Supreme Court will hear a major consolidated case on assault weapon bans and whether the Second Amendment protects the right to possess AR-15s and semiautomatic rifles. Semi-automatic rifles are “the weapon of choice” for somebody looking to harm large groups of people, says Mark Barden, whose son, Daniel, was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary school shooting. Law professor Leah Litman says the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority has shown “they have a ton of zeal for basically cannibalizing and eliminating common sense gun control regulation.”
The power of the song ‘Lift Every Voice and Sing’ has endured for more than a century. The new documentary, ‘A New Day Begun: The Black National Anthem’ traces the song’s origins in the Jim Crow era and its evolution into a defining anthem of Black life and the civil rights movement. The filmmakers explore what its message of resilience, faith and hope—and its promise of a “new day”—means for America today. Journalist and Director of ‘A New Day Begun,’ Keith Michael Brown says, “a song that started in the segregated South in the small schoolhouse is now on the world stage.”

All 100 senators agreed to leave Washington in the predawn hours of August 8, sidelining President Trump's push for voter-ID legislation and raising questions about the GOP majority's appetite for the fight. At 4:57 a.m. on a Saturday morning, with most of America asleep, the United States Senate wrapped up its business and scattered for a five-week recess. No senator, Republican or Democrat, objected. The SAVE America Act, Trump's signature election-integrity bill requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship, never came to the floor. And the chamber won't return for real votes until the afternoon of September 15. The mechanics of how it happened matter, because they reveal a quiet consensus that cuts against the public posture of a…Open
