--:-- Tim Rice: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed a joint session of Congress today as Israel continues its fight against Hamas in Gaza. Netanyahu stressed the importance of the U.S.-Israel alliance and continued U.S. support, which most recently includes $15 billion in military aid as part of a $95 billion foreign aid package.
--:-- Georgia Howe: My friends, if you remember one thing, one thing from the speech, remember this. Our enemies are your enemies. Our fight is your fight. And our victory will be your victory.
--:-- Tim Rice: Around 50 lawmakers, mostly Democrats, refused to attend the speech in protest of what they view as Israeli misconduct in the Gaza war. That includes squad members Alexandria Ocasio and Ilhan Omar former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senator Bernie Sanders who said that Netanyahu should not be welcomed into the United States Congress
--:-- Georgia Howe: As the prime minister spoke the Capitol was surrounded by protesters many of whom chanted anti slogans At least one protester was spotted waving a Hamas flag. Capitol police deployed tear gas and pepper spray against protesters as the crowd grew violent and attempted to cross police lines.
--:-- Tim Rice: Netanyahu had some choice words for those protesters during his speech. Well, I have a message for these protesters. When the tyrants of Tehran, who hang gays from cranes and murder women for not covering their hair, are praising, promoting, and funding you, you have officially become Iran's useful idiots.
--:-- Georgia Howe: Tomorrow, Netanyahu will head to the White House to meet with both President Biden and Vice President Harris, who also skipped the prime minister's congressional speech. Netanyahu is set to meet with former President Donald Trump on Friday at Mar-a-Lago.
--:-- Cabot Phillips: The grievance filed Tuesday accuses the VP of illegally trying to take control of the nearly $100 million in campaign funds already raised by President Biden. Complain argues that transferring that money to Harris would constitute an excessive contribution far surpassing the legal limit for single donations. Trump's legal team also claims Harris and her campaign treasurer committed fraud by unlawfully amending Biden's statement of candidacy to allow for the transfer of funds, thus violating federal campaign finance laws.
--:-- Steve Roberts: The deal is the FEC the Federal Election Commission doesn't much care They look at what the Federal Election Campaign Act says And what they should do at this point under the federal election law is refund every single dollar that someone donated to the Biden campaign for the November election. Federal election law is really clear that if a candidate does not run for the general election, but receives contributions for that general election, the campaign doesn't have a choice. They have 60 days from the day that candidate dropped out to put the money back in donors' pockets.
--:-- Tim Pierce: According to Wray, the gunman who attempted to take the life of former President Trump may have used a firearm with a collapsible stock, making it more concealable.

The shooter may have gotten off as many as eight total shots before being taken out by a Secret Service sniper.
