During oral arguments, both liberal and conservative justices appeared to support a Texas man who argued he shouldn't have been charged with a crime because he owns a gun and uses marijuana. Critics fear such a ruling could put guns in the hands of serious drug users. A decision is expected by the end of June. | PBS NewsHour

Doctors are worried the cap on loans will result in even fewer Black medical students in the future. Studies have shown that financial barriers are just one of t
