I'll speak her Mike Johnson was at the White House Thursday meeting with President Trump amid a stand-off between the President and Congress over his stall to voter ID bill known as the Save America Act. Trump has refused to sign a popular bipartisan housing bill until the Senate moves on the election

measure first. After the meeting, Speaker Johnson told reporters that Congress will send the housing bill to the White House. He did not specify when, but he said he and Trump are on the same page. "It's another day at the office, you know, this is the process in an era with small

margins, but we'll get the job done, we always do, and we'll see you guys on Monday."

Johnson's meeting with President Trump came as GOP hardliners effectively shut down the House floor until the Senate passes the elections bill.

The Supreme Court has struck down Hawaii's law limiting when gun owners can bring their guns on private property. The decision impacts four other states as impairs Jacqueline Diaz reports. In most states gun owners can bring firearms onto private property, unless the property owner tells them otherwise.

But five states have laws requiring gun owners to get permission from home owners before bringing their guns. Those states were Hawaii, California, Maryland, New York, and New Jersey. But this latest decision from the High Court says those states cannot force gun owners to get that permission.

In a six-three decision the judges said requiring permission in advance places an undue burden on a person's right to possess and carry a gun. Jacqueline Diaz and PR News.

"A student who's survived a deadly school shooting in Tennessee

is now suing a company that sells technology meant to protect students from gun violence. Emily West, a member stationed WPL and reports on the lawsuit contending the system did not work." In January 2025 a student opened fire in the cafeteria of Antioch High School in suburban Nashville. Moments before he was shot in the arm,

Antonio's head and says he tried to talk to the student thinking something was wrong. "I decided to help him. So when I just moved at him, he just chute me for not reason." Another student was killed before the shooter turned the gun on himself. The school's hallways were supposed to be monitored by Omni Alert cameras, which were designed with AI to detect guns and weapons and sound at alarm.

The lawsuit says the camera's fail to detect the gun. Omni Alert says its technology depends on camera placement and denies claims that its camera's malfunctioned. "For NPR News, I'm Emily West and Nashville." "This is NPR News." The top National Park Service official is describing apparent intentional damage

Deputy Director of Operations, Frank Lans, said the liner at the bottom of the pool was cut with a sharp knife or razor and that about 70 fence post-tops were thrown into the pool. President Trump has repeatedly blamed vandals and the interior department says there have been

seven arrests. Health authorities in Uganda say they have confirmed a new case of Ebola breaking a 16-day streak of no Ebola cases. And here's Fat Matana's reports. Uganda neighbors the Democratic Republic of the Congo where currently the worst outbreak of Ebola even more than a decade is spreading right along the Ugandan border. And despite close border crossings and no flights between the countries, there have been a total of 20

confirmed cases of Ebola in Uganda. 15 of those cases, according to Ugandan authorities, are from Congolese travelers. Currently four people in Uganda are under treatment free Ebola, nine are being monitored and two people have died of the disease. The health ministry has mobilized contact tracing teams in rural villages. Authorities say so far there's been no community transmission of Ebola,

but with the poorest border the risk remains high.
