  • Summary

  • Today’s Headlines: Today’s Headlines: Israel is gearing up for a potential ground invasion of southern Lebanon, focusing on Hezbollah militants with over 2,000 airstrikes in just three days. Meanwhile, President Biden is pushing for a diplomatic pause in the fighting and working on a ceasefire deal for Gaza. On the election front, a new intelligence report shows that Russia, Iran, and China are using AI to spread disinformation with Russia focused on boosting Trump and attacking Kamala Harris on immigration; and Iran targeting voters with false information about the Israel-Hamas war. In Ohio, a Haitian group has filed charges against Trump and JD Vance over harmful lies targeting their community. In other news, Congress has avoided a government shutdown for now by passing a temporary funding bill, and new ethics rules for Supreme Court justices are raising eyebrows. Finally, Florida is bracing for Hurricane Helene, a massive Category 4 storm set to cause major flooding and storm surges across the state.
