Good morning, NewsNation! With the start of a new week, there's a lot going on. Let's catch up:

What's going on: President Joe Biden is calling for reform to the Supreme Court, citing some of its recent high-profile decisions as cause for concern and catalysts for change. “This Court has gutted civil rights protections, taken away a woman’s right to choose, and now granted Presidents broad immunity from prosecution for crimes they commit in office,” the Biden administration said. What to know >
The reforms: Biden has outlined three "bold" reforms he believes are needed to "restore trust and accountability" to the nation's high court. The president wants to implement term limits for Supreme Court justices, forbid immunity for crimes a former president committed while in office and create a "binding" code of conduct for the Supreme Court.

Hitting the trail: There will be few days off this week for Vice President Kamala Harris, former President Donald Trump and his running mate Sen. JD Vance. Harris will start her second full week as the presumptive Democratic Party presidential nominee with a campaign rally in Atlanta on Tuesday after her campaign announced that donors contributed $200 million to her campaign in its first week. Trump is set to attend a rally in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, on Wednesday after vowing to return to Butler despite a recent assassination attempt targeted at him. Vance will head west for rallies Monday in Reno, Nevada, and the Las Vegas suburb of Henderson. Read more >

Olympics controversy: An organizer of the Paris Olympics said the performance some have claimed was a "mockery of the Last Supper" during Friday's opening ceremony was a nod to Greek mythology. The performance featured someone painted blue sitting on a table surrounded by fruit, while dancers and other performers struck poses in the background. The artistic director for the ceremony said the inspiration for the scene was from the Greek god Dionysus. A spokesperson for the 2024 Paris Olympics apologized if people took offense but emphasized that was not their intention. Other key moments >

Cartel arrests: The arrest of Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada and Joaquin Guzman Lopez is a major blow against the leadership of a criminal organization identified by U.S. authorities as the top exporter of fentanyl to American communities. But it's not expected to cause the Sinaloa cartel to crumble nor disrupt the flow of fentanyl into the U.S. in a major way, a former U.S. Border Patrol chief agent said. Full report >

Cup of Joe: Following a nationwide recall on a variety of coffee products, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has determined the recall on items distributed through different coffee roasters and retailers to be a "Class II." The FDA says this means it's “a situation in which use of or exposure to a violative product may cause temporary or medically reversible adverse health consequences." What to know >
The recall: The recall applies to 20 different coffee and tea products from Snapchill that make up more than 10 million cans. The recall was initially issued in June after learning the company's manufacturing process could lead to a potentially fatal form of food poisoning, botulism. Full list >
