Idaho's law makes it a felony for physicians to perform most abortions except to save the life of the mother.        President Biden is preparing to sign a new foreign aid bill into law today. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a 95-billion-dollar emergency foreign aid package, which included funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Indo-Pacific.       A bill allowing Tennessee teachers to carry guns is heading to the governor's desk. The bill allows for specially-trained teachers to carry handguns in their classrooms, and parents would not know if their kids' teacher was armed or not.       The Texas Supreme Court is putting on hold a guaranteed income program that was approved in Houston. Attorney General Ken Paxton has been suing, claiming that it's unconstitutional. The Uplift Harris program uses federal funds to give monthly 500-dollar checks to nearly two-thousand low-income residents.        The City of Baltimore is making some changes following the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge last month.
