Washington — President Biden sat down with late-night host Jimmy Kimmel on Wednesday for an interview during which he said he has limited taking unilateral action on gun control because he does not want to mirror his predecessor's "abuse of the Constitution and constitutional authority."
Kimmel kicked off the 23-minute-long interview by pressing Mr. Biden about why no action has been taken at the federal level to place more restrictions on firearms and curb gun violence, which the president attributed to "intimidation" by the National Rifle Association.
"This is not your father's Republican Party, this is a MAGA Party. It's a very different Republican Party," Mr. Biden said. "And so you find people who are worried, I believe, that if they vote for rational gun policy, they're going to be primaried and they're going to lose in a hard-right Republican primary."

Yangon — Myanmar's military leader lauded President Trump and asked him to lift sanctions, the ruling junta said Friday, after a tariff letter from the U.S. president that it has taken as Washington's first public recognition of its rule. Min Aung Hlaing endorsed Mr. Trump's false claim that the 2020 U.S. election was stolen, and thanked him for shutting down funding for U.S.-backed media outlets that have long provided independent coverage of conflict-wracked Myanmar.

After years of unsuccessful attempts to finance and build a public alarm network that would warn residents of Kerr County, Texas, about dangerous flooding, officials in the region, nicknamed "flash flood alley," were going to start developing a centralized flood monitoring system this summer to help leaders and emergency managers plan ahead.

Washington — The Senate is expected to vote next week on a request from the White House to claw back funding for international aid and public broadcasting. But the funding for rural radio and television stations — sometimes an area's sole source for emergency warnings and other news — has sparked concern among some Senate Republicans, especially after the recent devastating flash floods in Texas.
