The U.S. Senate passed a bill authorizing President Trump to award the Medal of Honor to retired Marine Maj. James Capers Jr., who saved his reconnaissance team during a brutal 1967 Vietnam ambush despite severe gunshot and shrapnel wounds.

Capers — a trailblazing Recon Marine and Silver Star recipient — has long been championed by veterans who say his valor was overlooked for decades, and the bill now awaits the president’s approval. 

Supporters of a California ballot initiative to require voter ID say they’ve submitted 1.3 million signatures, enough to potentially place the measure before voters in November; the proposal would mandate government‑issued ID, verify citizenship of registered voters, and tighten voter‑roll accuracy.

Opponents argue voter fraud is exceedingly rare and warn the measure would disproportionately disenfranchise low‑income residents, seniors, people with disabilities, and women whose IDs don’t match voter records. 

Britney Spears was arrested in Ventura County on Wednesday night for DUI, after CHP officers pulled her over in Westlake Village, took her to a hospital for a blood draw, and then booked and released her early Thursday morning.
