The Biden administration says it's up to state governors to decide if the National Guard is needed to disperse anti-Israel protests on college campuses. House Speaker Mike Johnson called on President Biden to bring in the National Guard after seeing the protests at Columbia University this week.        The U.S. Supreme Court is considering arguments about presidential immunity. The case before the high court on Thursday centered around Donald Trump's claims of immunity in his federal election interference case. The justices are expected to rule in June.        Drivers can expect lots of gridlock in New York City today with President Biden in town. Biden will be in Manhattan today as he campaigns around New York. Meantime, former President Trump is teasing a possible rally at Madison Square Garden.        Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction is being overturned. The New York Court of Appeals says it tossed the conviction because of issues with testimony allowed at trial. Actress Ashley Judd, who accused Weinstein of sexual harassment, vowed, however, that the fight would continue.        Tornado sightings are being reported this morning in parts of eastern Oklahoma. Local forecasters say conditions capable of producing tornadoes were reported this morning between Tulsa and Oklahoma City. Tornado-producing weather is expected today from northeast Texas to southern Iowa.        "The Onion" has been sold. G-O Media announced on Thursday that the satirical news outlet has been purchased by a new firm called Global Tetrahedron, who got their name from The Onion. The CEO of G-O Media says the new firm has agreed to keep the entire staff intact in Chicago, where the publication has been based since 2012.
