Today’s Headlines: Israeli forces confirmed yesterday that they killed Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, the architect of the October 7th attacks, identifying him through dental records and fingerprints. President Biden and Vice President Harris celebrated the news while calling for a focus on bringing hostages home and ending the war. In the U.S., new reports show that over a dozen of Trump's 2020 "fake electors" are officially serving in his 2024 campaign, raising concerns about potential election chaos. Meanwhile, a new Mitch McConnell biography reveals he called Trump "stupid". In more election news, early voting in North Carolina is off to a strong start, despite ongoing hurricane recovery efforts, with only four polling stations unable to open. In a bid to reduce confusion and disinformation, Google will block election-related ads after polls close on election day, similar to its policy from 2020. Finally, President Biden announced that his student loan forgiveness program has now canceled $175 billion in debt for more than a million public service workers, including teachers, firefighters, and nurses.
