Thousands Gather to Show Support for Israel
Thousands of people gathered on the National Mall in support of Israel and to condemn anti-Semitism. The march, organized by a coalition of Jewish organizations, aimed to demonstrate solidarity with Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7. Bipartisan leaders from both the House and the Senate joined the event, emphasizing the importance of standing with Israel to prevent the repetition of past atrocities.
House Prepares for Vote on Stopgap Funding Package
The House is set to vote on a stopgap package to keep the government running until the new year. The funding proposal put forward by House Speaker Mike Johnson would keep some federal agencies funded until January 19 and others until February 2. The bill does not include budget cuts Republicans have demanded or President Joe Biden's funding requests for Ukraine, Israel, the border, and other areas. However, some Republicans, like Chip Roy, oppose the bill, citing its continuation of high spending levels from the previous year.
