SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court unanimously rejected a challenge to the state's near-total abortion ban. Twenty women and two doctors argued that the law blocked access to abortion despite extreme pregnancy complications. The plaintiffs shared their distress, including stories of leaving the state for the procedure. The court ruled that there was nothing unconstitutional about the law's handling of medical exceptions. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton supported the ruling, emphasizing protecting mothers and babies. The Center for Reproductive Rights vowed to continue advocating for women, emphasizing that pregnancy complications should be managed by doctors, not courts. Recent proposed guidelines by the Texas Medical Board remain controversial among doctors.

The Texas Supreme Court rejected a challenge brought against the state by women who claimed Texas laws stopped them from getting medical care for their pregnancies.

SUMMARY: Hurricane Barrel, a Category 4 storm with 150 mph winds, made landfall in the Windward Islands early this morning, impacting Grenada and St. Vincent. Now entering the Caribbean, the storm is projected to move westward, potentially reaching the Yucatan Peninsula by the weekend. Barrel has already broken several records: it’s the strongest June hurricane on record, the earliest Category 4 hurricane, and the most intense storm to ever hit the Windward Islands. As the storm progresses, it is expected to weaken due to wind shear before impacting Northern Mexico or Southern Texas. Meanwhile, there’s an update on Invest 96L, which has a 60% chance of development.

FOX 4 meteorologist Dylan Federico is tracking Hurricane Beryl as it moves toward Mexico. Take a look at the possible paths, including the chance that it could move toward Texas.

SCOTUS Decision: Did Trump get immunity?

SUMMARY: The US Supreme Court has ruled on whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for attempting to overturn the 2020 election. In his opinion, Chief Justice Roberts categorized potential actions into four “buckets” to determine if they're prosecutable. Official actions, such as discussions with Justice Department lawyers, are off-limits, while individual actions, like speaking at the January 6th rally, are prosecutable. Gray areas, like conversations with non-government attorneys, require further scrutiny. The ruling makes it harder to prosecute a former president by setting a high threshold of conditions and standards, outlining a complex legal framework for future cases.

On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a ruling in a case that weighs whether former President Donald Trump can be tried criminally for trying to overturn the 2020 election. Long story short, the book is not closed. Constitutional law attorney David Coale joined Good Day to take a closer look at the decision.

SUMMARY: The Fourth of July fireworks, a cherished American tradition, can be hazardous if not handled safely. A report from the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission reveals eight deaths and nearly 9,700 emergency room visits from fireworks-related injuries last year. Young teens (15-19) and children (5-9) were the most affected. Dr. David Persse, Chief Medical Officer for Houston, advises constant adult supervision, using a competent and attentive adult, and having water handy. For serious injuries, keep foreign objects in place and call 911. Dr. Persse suggests public fireworks shows like Houston’s “Freedom Over Texas” as safe alternatives.

Chief medical officer for the City of Houston, Dr. David Persse, shares what to do if your celebration ends up in an emergency situation.
