Today’s Headlines: Tensions remain high as Israel continues its ground offensive in Lebanon and retaliates against Iran’s missile strike, which damaged a key airbase. While there were no casualties from the strike, Israel faces economic pressure with credit downgrades. Meanwhile, Hurricane Helene has left nearly 200 dead, millions without power, and climate change linked to its intensity. On the legal front, new evidence in the January 6th case shows Trump’s refusal to act during the Capitol violence. Additionally, Heritage Foundation investigators have been filing massive public records requests to scrutinize federal employees' communications.
