Summary

Today’s Headlines: Matt Gaetz pulled out of the Attorney General race after just eight days, calling it a “distraction” as new allegations about a sexual encounter with a minor surfaced. Trump quickly named Pam Bondi, a former Florida AG and his impeachment lawyer, as the new nominee. Trump’s Defense Secretary pick, Pete Hegseth, is facing renewed scrutiny over past assault allegations, while Marjorie Taylor Greene will lead a cost-cutting subcommittee alongside Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy’s new department. Globally, Jair Bolsonaro was indicted for a 2022 coup attempt, the ICC issued war crime warrants for Netanyahu and others, and Iran announced “treatment” for women who defy hijab laws, as Iraq considers lowering the age of consent to nine. In a lighter note, Pope Francis is set to canonize Carlo Acutis, a millennial known as “God’s influencer,” as the first digital saint.
