NEWSWEEK: Why did you file this suit? Robert Levy: First, because I’m a fervent believer in the Constitution, including the Second Amendment, and I read the Second Amendment as securing an individual’s right to keep and bear arms. In most jurisdictions, the courts have read the Second Amendment only to protect members of militias. In D.C., that issue has not been resolved. I saw an opportunity, with my two co-counsels, to vindicate Second Amendment rights and to establish a precedent that, if it reached the Supreme Court, would be applicable across the nation....

The video was one of 10 released by the FBI in an effort to get the public’s assistance in identifying individuals the bureau said are “suspects in the most egregious assaults on federal officers during the riots.” “These individuals are seen on video committing egregious crimes against those who have devoted their lives to protecting the American people,” Steven D’Antuono, assistant director in charge of the FBI’s Washington Field Office, said in a statement Thursday....

The provision, along with two other special-interest pleadings slipped in by the GOP House leadership, almost derailed the bill. To quell a rebellion led by moderate Maine Republicans Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins, then incoming Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott promised to revisit the issue when Congress returns in January, implying that he would find a way to cancel out the offending provision. Now that Lott is history, the big question is whether his successor, Tennessee Sen....

She forgives them now. No way does she envy the manual labor and undocumented status her brothers have endured in California. In a little more than a year, the 20-year-old, straight-A business student expects to become her family’s first college graduate—without leaving her homeland. She couldn’t have done it, she says, without the help of Grupo Indaparapeo, a nonprofit organization that is dedicated to keeping the town’s young people from joining Mexico’s northward exodus....

Read on below to learn more about the connection between ED and STIs. What Is Erectile Dysfunction and Why Can STIs Cause It? ED is the failure to achieve and/or sustain an erection. Oftentimes, the cause of ED can be a combination of both psychological and physical factors. That said, if an STI is the underlying cause of ED, it is strictly an anatomical issue at play. This is because certain STIs can trigger infections in the prostate gland, a supportive organ of the male reproductive system....

Stress can affect blood sugar both directly and indirectly. Its effects can also vary depending on the type of diabetes a person has. Chronic stress can lead to prolonged high levels of cortisol and ultimately a lowered insulin secretion in the long run. This makes stress both dangerous for those with diabetes and a possible risk factor for its development. How Stress Affects the Body When the body is under stress, it releases cortisol....

What Are Seizures? Seizures are episodes of altered electrical activity in the brain that can cause changes in behavior, mood, movements, and level of consciousness. If someone has two or more unprovoked seizures, they may be diagnosed as having epilepsy. When pathways of communication between neurons (nerve cells) in the brain are disrupted, seizures can arise. A common cause is epilepsy, although many other seizure triggers have been identified— among them, very high fever, brain infection such as meningitis, electrolyte disturbances (for example, abnormal levels of sodium in the blood), use of certain street drugs, withdrawal from alcohol, poisoning or venomous bites or stings, and many more....

James Gunn is a filmmaker with a particular style that permeates everything he does, he is beloved for his distinct sense of humor and oddball characters. Guardians of the Galaxy is a standout in the MCU thanks to his creative vision, but in turn, DC adopting that same creator might attract derision. RELATED: The Suicide Squad’s Margot Robbie Wants More Women In Action Movies The Suicide Squad is a sequel to 2016’s Suicide Squad which was less than well-received....

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers did something that no NFL team has ever done. The Bucs won Super Bowl LV on home turf at Raymond James Stadium, defeating the reigning Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs 31-9. Ahead of the Buccaneers’ first preseason game of the 2021 season, their sights are firmly set on a repeat in a quest to bring another Super Bowl victory to “Champa Bay.” But do the Buccaneers have what it takes to make another run at the coveted trophy?...

Now, on the verge of this week’s G8 summit in Russia, the White House believes it has discovered a new way to win the day: more nuclear carrots. Instead of trying to convince Russia to give up billions of dollars in contracts to build Iran’s nuclear power, the White House wants to offer Moscow even bigger contracts to become the world’s nuclear dump. For now, the White House says its talks with Vladimir Putin’s government are at a very early stage....

There are worse governments in the world—and even among democracies, if Poland and Hungary still count. But there has never been a specter like this in Israel, and that’s a big deal: the Jewish state remains a nuclear power, a top military ally of Washington, a leading trading partner of the European Union, a global tech superpower, and a particularly combustible spark in the Middle East tinderbox. The change has happened because, perhaps for the first time ever, a right-wing Israeli leader is totally dependent on his far-right and religious allies, enabling full-on extortion....

Since mpox is a zoonotic disease, it can spread between animals and people. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), while rare, it’s possible for mpox patients to spread the virus to their pets through close contact, including petting, cuddling, hugging, kissing, licking, sharing sleeping areas, and sharing food. Other types of orthopoxviruses have infected a wide range of species, including hamsters, guinea pigs, dogs, and cats....

Canada scheduled its two November home qualifiers in Edmonton hoping for the weather to provide it with a decided home-field advantage. The setting worked Friday in a 1-0 win over Costa Rica. A second straight home victory over a favorite for one of the three automatic berths would considerably boost Canada’s chances to qualify for its first World Cup since 1986. And if it came against longtime regional power Mexico, it would legitimize Canada as a new CONCACAF force....
