[House passes gun control package, though Senate odds are slim]( The House [passed gun legislation]( on Wednesday evening that would raise the age limit for purchasing a semiautomatic rifle to 21 and ban the sale of magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds. The vote was 223 to 204, falling mostly along party lines. The legislation is not expected to pass in the evenly divided Senate, however, where a [bipartisan group of senators]( is working on a more moderate agreement that focuses on background checks, school security, and mental health programs.

The man, identified as Nicholas John Roske, was carrying a gun, a knife, pepper spray, zip ties, and a variety of household tools when he was arrested, the Justice Department said.

Roske told the 911 operator he was having suicidal thoughts and planned to kill Kavanaugh with the gun he had in his suitcase. He was arrested while still on the call, and made an initial appearance that afternoon before a Maryland judge.

[Twitter will reportedly turn 'firehose' of data over to Musk]( Social media giant Twitter [reportedly plans to hand over to Elon Musk]( its "firehose" of data to move along the Tesla CEO's $44 billion acquisition of the company. Musk has contended that without information on the platform's fake accounts, the deal cannot go forward.

[Abbott Nutrition reportedly warned about Michigan plant earlier than known]( Abbott Nutrition, whose shuttering of its Michigan manufacturing plant contributed in large part to the nationwide baby formula shortage, was alerted of problems at the Sturgis plant months earlier than was previously publicly known, a government official and a source familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal. "We know there have been various questions about the timeline of events leading up to the FDA's warning and Abbott's recall of products manufactured at their Sturgis facility," an FDA spokesperson said.

[Brookings Institution suspends president amid Qatar lobbying probe]( The prestigious Brookings Institution on Wednesday [placed its president, retired four-star Gen. John Allen, on administrative leave]( during a federal investigation of an illegal lobbying campaign on behalf of Qatar. The FBI has said there is "substantial evidence" Allen knowingly violated federal foreign lobbying laws, made false statements, and withheld "incriminating" documents. Allen, a former Marine general who led U.S. combat forces in Afghanistan before being named Brookings president in late 2017, has not been charged with any crimes and has denied all wrongdoing. The think tank itself is not subject to the investigation, Brookings told its staff.

[Simone Biles, other Larry Nassar abuse victims sue FBI for $1 billion]( Simone Biles and other U.S. gymnasts who say they were sexually abused by former Team USA gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar [are suing the FBI for $1 billion]( over its mishandling of the case. More than 90 of Nassar's alleged sexual assault victims are filing lawsuits against the FBI for failing to act against Nassar after learning about abuse allegations against him. In 2021, a Justice Department inspector general found the FBI made a number of errors in the case, and failed to respond to the abuse allegations with the urgency they warranted. "It is time for the FBI to be held accountable," [said]( former Team USA gymnast Maggie Nichols.

['Joker' sequel in the works with Joaquin Phoenix expected to return]( A follow-up to 2019's [Joker is officially in the works]( director Todd Phillips has revealed. Phillips shared a [photo of the script on Instagram,]( bearing the title Joker: Folie à deux. He also included a photo of star Joaquin Phoenix reading the screenplay, implying he'll return — though apparently Phoenix's deal[isn't yet final](. The original Joker, which told the origin story of the iconic Batman villain, was a surprisingly huge hit for DC. Despite being a dark character study, it earned over $1 billion at the box office, becoming the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time. It also won two Oscars, with Phoenix taking the Academy Award for Best Actor.
