Summary

Today’s Headlines: Luigi Mangione, accused of a high-profile murder, has been extradited to New York and indicted on federal charges, adding to existing state and Pennsylvania charges. Meanwhile, Georgia's Fani Willis was removed from Trump’s election interference case, with a new prosecutor to be appointed. In other news, Amazon faces its largest-ever strike, as nearly 10,000 unionized workers walk out over stalled negotiations. Additionally, the FAA has restricted drone flights in New Jersey over critical infrastructure, despite no confirmed safety threats and in France, 51 men were convicted in a shocking rape case involving a woman drugged and exploited by her husband. The survivor went public to raise awareness for sexual assault victims. Finally, Congress remains deadlocked on a government funding bill. A Trump-endorsed compromise was rejected, leaving a shutdown likely as debates over spending and debt limits continue.
