Massive Support for Israel in Washington
Over 100,000 Americans gathered in Washington to voice their support for Israel, remember the victims of recent attacks, and call for continued support for the Jewish state. Lawmakers from both parties, including Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Mike Johnson, attended the event. While the majority of Americans still support Israel, there is growing pressure within the Biden administration for a ceasefire, despite Israel's insistence on continuing its offensive against Hamas.
Controversial Digital Equity Plan
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is set to vote on the Biden Administration's Digital Equity Plan, which aims to provide equal access to the internet and prevent digital discrimination. Critics argue that the plan gives the FCC excessive power over the internet and could lead to overregulation. The plan has drawn opposition from Republicans, including Senator Ted Cruz, who argue it is an unlawful power grab by the Biden administration.

The suspension is currently being challenged in court, and Harbaugh will be able to participate in practices but not games.
