SUMMARY: The Texas Supreme Court upheld Senate Bill 14, making it illegal to provide hormone therapies, puberty blockers, and transition surgeries to individuals under 18. Texas Values, which supported the bill, argued it protects children from risks. Justice Deborah Leman dissented, stating the law prevents necessary individualized treatment plans for children, potentially endangering their health. LGBTQIA+ advocates like Ash Hall expressed disappointment, emphasizing the negative impact on trans youth and their families. The Williams Institute estimates nearly 30,000 transgender teenagers in Texas, with advocates continuing to support their rights and well-being despite the ruling.

The Texas Supreme Court ruled Senate Bill 14 can remain law on Friday. It went into effect in September 2023, making it illegal to provide hormone therapies, puberty blockers, and transition surgery to anyone under 18.

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.
