Description

Today’s Headlines: Over the weekend, thousands of Israelis protested Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, demanding a new election, amidst ongoing ceasefire negotiations and Netanyahu's recent hernia surgery. Meanwhile, fallout from a recent bridge collapse in Baltimore is estimated to halt operations at the Port of Baltimore for approximately five months, causing significant regional economic strain, although the federal government has pledged $60 million for rebuilding efforts. Additionally, AT&T announced an investigation into a data breach affecting over 70 million customers, with varying degrees of personal information compromised. Lastly, California's new law has gone into effect, raising the minimum wage for most fast food workers to $20 per hour, marking a significant pay increase for many.
