Today’s biggest stories:
- President Obama is making an earnest push to support smart-gun technology that would prevent weapons from being fired by anyone except an authorized user. But in the United States, where the president doesn’t have much power to advance gun control, the effort may well go nowhere.
- Donald Trump, already America’s leading source of inappropriate sexual metaphors and sexist commentary, announced that “we can’t continue to allow China to rape our country.” (Here’s today’s Trump Apocalypse Watch.)
- Crazy long-shot upstart Leicester City won soccer’s Premier League.
- Ted Cruz engaged in an extremely Sisyphean argument with a pro-Trump heckler, while Carly Fiorina fell off a stage on the same day that the Cruz/Fiorina ticket’s poll numbers in Indiana fell off a cliff.
- And Malia Obama is going to Harvard.
