Summary

Today’s Headlines: Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump recently hosted a private meeting in New York with the Prime Minister of Qatar and a group of Jewish business leaders, including notable figures like Josh Kushner, Robert Kraft, and Bill Ackman. The meeting coincided with the Qatari Prime Minister's UN Security Council address on the Gaza crisis, where he discussed Qatar's efforts and responded to questions about the country's relationship with Hamas. Meanwhile, amidst concerns of shadow diplomacy, Liz Cheney warned in an interview that if Donald Trump is re-elected, he might refuse to leave power, suggesting a potential slide into dictatorship. The U.S. also witnessed a disturbing record with two mass shootings within 90 minutes, marking the 37th and 38th incidents this year involving four or more victims. Harvard faced controversy as disinformation scholar Joan Donovan accused the university of stifling her research after a significant donation from Mark Zuckerberg's foundation. Additionally, the Supreme Court heard arguments on the Purdue Pharma bankruptcy plan, and a new Congressional Pension Accountability Act was introduced, inspired by George Santos, although it won't impact Santos directly due to his brief tenure in Congress.
