Deep dives
Fallout from Israeli Airstrikes in Gaza
President Biden expressed outrage over the Israeli airstrikes that killed aid workers in Gaza, emphasizing the need for Israel to protect civilians and aid workers. Despite the condemnation, the White House has not announced policy changes towards Israel. Aid delivery in Gaza has been impacted, with some aid groups suspending operations.
Wisconsin Primary Election Results
Democratic voters in Wisconsin made a statement by voting for uninstructed instead of Joe Biden in the primary. More than 48,000 people supported this movement, showcasing the power of voters to oppose the current administration. The campaign aims to push for a ceasefire and policy changes regarding Israel's actions, urging the administration to respond to demands.
Legal Drama Surrounding Trump Media Group
Two Floridian brothers pleaded guilty to insider trading related to Trump Media's public merger. Trump Media is suing its co-founders over mismanagement allegations. The former president was not implicated in the insider trading scheme, while legal battles and controversies surround the media group and its founders.
José Andrés, the celebrity chef and founder of World Central Kitchen, said that Israel “targeted” his aid workers when the country killed seven of them this week. He gave an interview to Reuters on Wednesday, and he also rebuked the claims by the Israeli and U.S. governments, which both say the strikes were a tragic accident. In a statement issued late Tuesday, President Biden said he was “outraged” by the deaths, and he criticized Israel for failing to protect aid workers and civilians during the war in Gaza. But the White House still hasn’t announced any plans to change its policies in support of Israel.
Nearly 50,000 Wisconsinites voted “uninstructed” in Tuesday night’s Democratic Primary instead of voting for Biden. That’s more than double the goal set by organizers, who hoped to send a message to the president over his handling of the war in Gaza. It’s also more than double the margin by which Biden won the state in 2020. Reema Ahmad, the campaign manager for Listen to Wisconsin, explained what’s next for the movement.
And in headlines: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed legislation to lower the draft age for men, the prosecutor in the classified documents case against Trump criticized the judge for entertaining a “flawed legal premise,” and LSU’s Angel Reese declared for the WNBA draft.
