The Biden White House has released a preview of President Joe Biden s executive actions on gun control, which he plans to sign Thursday afternoon. The administration is also arguing additional gun control is needed to fight a public health crisis and pushing hard for red flag laws, which often violate civil liberties. Today, the Biden-Harris Administration is announcing six initial actions to address the gun violence public health epidemic, the White House released late Wednesday.

BROOKLYN (CN) Taxi cab drivers are seeking more than $2.5 billion from the New York City Taxi & Limousine Commission, saying they paid artificially inflated prices for their taxi medallions, collectively losing hundreds of millions as a result.
The class action RICO suit, filed Tuesday in the Eastern District of New York, accuses the TLC of running a 13-year scheme to defraud those who bought medallions, which are the metal plates required for taxi drivers to work legitimately.
New York City made $855 million from auctioning off medallions and charging a 5% transfer tax on each transaction, the 105-page complaint says.
