Today’s Headlines: This week starts off with significant updates. Israel has accepted a framework proposed by President Biden to wind down the war in Gaza, though Netanyahu's advisor has criticized it. The three-phase plan includes a temporary truce, hostage release, and negotiations for a longer ceasefire, but Netanyahu insists no permanent ceasefire will occur until Hamas is deposed. Meanwhile, Trump, recently convicted on 34 felony counts, suggested house arrest or prison could be a "breaking point" for the public while leveraging his conviction for fundraising, reportedly raising $52.8 million in a day. Additionally, Trump has secured support from several billionaires. RFK Jr. criticized Trump's trial as "profoundly undemocratic" and faced allegations of shady fundraising practices by his super PAC. The Supreme Court rejected a challenge to Texas's abortion ban, while Samuel Alito faced further scrutiny over neighbor disputes. Finally, Joe Manchin switched his party registration to independent, and jury selection begins in Hunter Biden’s federal gun charges trial.
