Calls for Ceasefire in Gaza Escalate as Congressmen and Protesters Demand Action

Five more representatives in Congress have joined the growing calls for a cease-fire in Gaza, urging an end to the fighting. A total of 31 lawmakers have now called for a cease-fire, while President Joe Biden has resisted such calls. In Ukraine, three of Rudy Giuliani's top allies have been notified by the Security Service that they are suspects of treason, accused of participating in activities aiding Russian President Vladimir Putin. Meanwhile, Facebook parent company Meta has allowed political ads on its platforms that promote the false belief that the 2020 election was rigged, potentially contributing to the spread of disinformation. Lastly, a heated exchange occurred during a Senate committee hearing when Representative Markwayne Mullin and a union boss engaged in a verbal confrontation, narrowly avoiding a physical altercation.
