Description

Today’s Headlines: Former President Trump faced arraignment in a Washington DC courtroom where he pleaded not guilty to four federal charges connected to his efforts to subvert the 2020 election outcome. A trial date was set, and he was released from custody pending trial without any bail or travel restrictions. Meanwhile, the Pittsburgh Synagogue Shooter was sentenced to death in Pennsylvania after being found guilty of 63 criminal counts for the heinous act of murdering 11 people and injuring 8 others in 2018. In Florida, Governor Ron DeSantis banned AP Psychology from schools due to its references to gender and sexuality, leading to a clash with the College Board, which refused to remove these topics from the curriculum. DeSantis had a history of banning certain courses, including AP African American Studies, causing controversies in the state's education system.
