Summary

Today’s Headlines: Last night's VP debate between JD Vance and Tim Walz hit on big topics like national security and immigration. Catch my full recap on the American Fever Dream podcast tomorrow morning. In other news, Iran launched its biggest missile strike on Israel after Israel entered Lebanon. Iran says it’s retaliation for the killing of Hamas and Hezbollah leaders. No Israeli deaths were reported, but a Palestinian was killed. Iran’s president is now suggesting talks as sanctions bite. Meanwhile, 50,000 U.S. port workers went on strike, halting major imports like cars and food. They're pushing for a 77% raise after years without one, and negotiations have stalled. Trump’s team is claiming new evidence in his January 6th case is politically timed, but it’s really a result of delays and legal adjustments. 120 sexual assault lawsuits were filed against Diddy, with many victims saying they were minors when the assaults happened. And finally, Louisiana has classified mifepristone and misoprostol as controlled substances, making them harder to access. These drugs, used for abortions and treating postpartum hemorrhage, now require special authorization, raising concerns about maternal healthcare.
