Strikes have reached Beirut, forcing about 1 million people to flee their homes. Meanwhile, the U.S. is sending an additional 2,000–3,000 troops to the region.

In Georgia, a judge just struck down the state’s 6-week abortion ban, and in Rockdale County, people are being evacuated after a chemical plant fire released chlorine into the air. Over in California, Governor Newsom vetoed a first-of-its-kind AI safety bill but approved a law banning certain artificial dyes in school meals.
