Trump is now back in the White House after making a Trumpian and very public return, but doctors say he’s still not "out of the woods."

And in headlines: police shoot a Black man in Texas who was trying to stop domestic violence, the EPA gives Oklahoma authority over environmental issues on tribal lands, and the rock gods rule in the case of Led Zeppelin vs. Spirit.
