  • Résumé

  • Today’s Headlines: Today's news brings updates on nationwide campus protests, centered at Columbia University where over 300 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested. Mayor Eric Adams suggests the protests are influenced by outside agitators. Similar protests have erupted across the country, resulting in over 1500 arrests. Violence erupted at UCLA where 15 people were injured in clashes. In Congress, the House passed the Antisemitism Awareness Act, though its future in the Senate is uncertain due to debates over its impact on free speech. On abortion, Florida's 6-week ban is now in effect, while Arizona voted to repeal its 1864 abortion ban, but it won't take effect immediately. In Louisiana, a federal court blocked the state's new congressional map, leaving it without a map for the 2024 elections. Lastly, the Federal Reserve decided not to cut the inflation rate, maintaining it between 5.25 and 5.5%, citing the need for greater confidence in sustainable inflation reduction.
