President Joe Biden is ready to talk up his crime prevention plans during a visit to Pennsylvania, where Democrats and Republicans are looking for ways to gain leverage on the issue ahead of November's midterm elections.The White House said Biden will use his Tuesday visit to call out Republicans for opposing his proposal to restore a ban on assault-style weapons.Both parties worked together in a rare effort to pass bipartisan gun safety legislation earlier this year after massacres in Buffalo, New York, and Uvalde, Texas, but Biden has repeatedly said more needs to be done.As a U.S.

senator, Biden played a leading role in temporarily banning assault-style weapons, including firearms similar to the AR-15 that have exploded in popularity in recent years, and he wants to put the law back into place."A majority of Americans support this ...

the NRA opposes it," White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said Monday. "So we're going to hear from the president about the importance of making sure we protect our communities."RELATED: Gun laws across the U.S.Biden's speech at Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre comes as Democrats try to blunt Republican efforts to use concern about crime to their advantage in the midterms.It's a particularly fraught issue in Pennsylvania, a key swing state where a U.S.

Jackson water crisis: Residents told to keep mouths closed in shower as problems persist

JACKSON, Miss. - Roughly 150,000 people are still without safe drinking water in Mississippi’s capital city days after Jackson’s water system partially failed. The situation is so dire, Mississippi officials are telling residents to shower with their mouths closed."You can shower or bathe, but please make sure in the shower that your mouth is not open," Jim Craig, Mississippi’s Director of Health Protection, said at a Wednesday news conference.The city water system partially failed early this week after Pearl River flooding exacerbated longstanding problems in one of two water-treatment plants.Jackson Mayor Chokwe Lumumba said Jackson’s water system is troubled by short staffing and "decades of deferred maintenance." He said the influx of water from torrential rain changed the chemical composition needed for treatment, which slowed the process of pushing water out to customers.A city news release said the main water-treatment plant had "challenges with water chemistry" Wednesday, which led to a drop in output of water.
