The White House is calling on Republicans to "show some courage" and pass an assault weapons ban. This comes after Monday's deadly school shooting in Nashville.

A Chicago man is being exonerated after spending almost three decades behind bars for two 1994 murders. Forty-six-year-old David Wright was arrested when he was 17 in August 1994 for the killings of two friends. Wright's lawyers say his conviction was based on a false confession he signed after a long and abusive interrogation by three Chicago detectives. The 2023 MLB season is officially getting underway today. For the first time since 1968, Opening Day with feature all 30 MLB teams hitting the diamond. The Astros open their World Series title defense at home against the Chicago White Sox.
