Obama's hurdles
President Obama's executive actions on firearms are considered a moderate victory for those in favor of tightening gun laws, but some of the moves could still face legal and legislative hurdles.

Birther is back
Questions about Ted Cruz's citizenship status could be a "big problem" for the GOP if Cruz wins the presidential nomination, Republican frontrunner Donald Trump says, adding that he'd "hate" to see the issue get in the way of the GOP's leadership chances.
El Niño
The weather phenomena is threatening parts of the already-inundated West with more dangerous storms. Residents are being warned to expect more heavy rains -- possibly as much as 6 inches by Friday -- flash flooding and high winds.

A youth soccer league is going up against the NFL in a California courtroom. The soccer league claims the city of Santa Clara is illegally allowing the NFL to use fields they usually play on next to Levi's Stadium, which is hosting Super Bowl 50 next month.
