2024 U.S. Election | Top takeaways from VP Debate
SUMMARY: During the first and only debate between Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Ohio Senator JD Vance, tensions escalated quickly. Walz criticized Trump, Vance’s ally, for failing to secure the border during his presidency. Immigration dominated the discussion, with Vance claiming there’s a historic crisis due to Vice President Kamala Harris’s policies aimed at reversing Trump’s initiatives. In response, Walz challenged Vance’s claims about Haitian immigrants in Ohio, highlighting the absurdity of such statements and questioning the effectiveness of Trump’s promises to build a wall, noting that less than 2% was completed. The debate showcased deep disagreements over immigration and accountability.

Iran launches missiles attacking Israel
SUMMARY: Iran launched nearly 200 ballistic missiles at Israel in retaliation for Israeli attacks on Hezbollah and its offensive in Lebanon, causing sirens and explosions across Israel. As of now, there have been no reported deaths. The U.S. is actively assisting in intercepting the missiles, and in response to the escalating conflict, the Pentagon is deploying additional military support, including three squadrons of aircraft (F-15s, F-16s, and A-10s) and increasing U.S. troop presence in the region by 2,000-3,000 personnel, joining over 40,000 already stationed there.
Escalation in the ongoing struggle in the Middle East continues as more US forces head to help Israel defend itself against an Iranian missile attack.

Group looking to expand medical marijuana in Arkansas files lawsuit
SUMMARY: The non-profit group Arkansans for Patient Access has been advocating for expanded medical marijuana access in Arkansas, collecting signatures for a ballot amendment aimed at waiving medical card fees and increasing provider access.
