Summary

Today’s Headlines: Congress has averted a government shutdown through a temporary funding bill, though funding for Israel, Ukraine, and Palestinian aid is notably absent. Representative George Santos has opted not to seek re-election following an Ethics Committee investigation revealing misuse of campaign funds for personal expenses. The gag order on Donald Trump in his New York civil fraud trial has been temporarily lifted. Overseas, scrutiny continues on the Israeli Defense Forces' operation at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza, with concerns about conditions and allegations lacking concrete evidence. Meanwhile, the Democratic National Committee's headquarters in D.C. was evacuated after a pro-Palestinian rally turned violent. Additionally, three NYU students are suing the university for not addressing escalating antisemitism, and a California community college professor faces involuntary manslaughter charges in connection with a pro-Israel protestor's death. In a San Francisco trial, David DePape was found guilty for breaking into Pelosi's home with a hammer, potentially facing a lengthy prison sentence.
