The U.S. Supreme Court is set to hear a case involving emergency abortions. The high court will hear oral arguments today on whether emergency rooms in Idaho can provide abortions to a woman whose health is at risk. Idaho's law makes it a felony for physicians to perform most abortions except to save the life of the mother.        President Biden is preparing to sign a new foreign aid bill into law today. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a 95-billion-dollar emergency foreign aid package, which included funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Indo-Pacific.       A bill allowing Tennessee teachers to carry guns is heading to the governor's desk. The bill allows for specially-trained teachers to carry handguns in their classrooms, and parents would not know if their kids' teacher was armed or not.       The Texas Supreme Court is putting on hold a guaranteed income program that was approved in Houston. Attorney General Ken Paxton has been suing, claiming that it's unconstitutional. The Uplift Harris program uses federal funds to give monthly 500-dollar checks to nearly two-thousand low-income residents.        The City of Baltimore is making some changes following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month. On Thursday, a deeper channel will be opened to allow commercial ships in and out of the Port of Baltimore.        Grindr users are suing the app for allegedly selling sensitive information like HIV status without their consent. The suit, filed in the UK, claims the dating app targeted towards gay and bisexual men disclosed information about health and sex lives of users to advertisers without their knowledge.
