Gaetz Is Out, Bondi Is In
Description
Former Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz withdrew his nomination as Trump’s attorney general after Republican disagreement over his Senate confirmation, and Trump quickly replaced him with Pam Bondi, a former Florida Attorney General. The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Hamas’ military commander, former Israeli defense minister Yoav Gallant, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, accusing them of war crimes in the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict, which both sides deny. Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and 36 others were indicted for allegedly attempting a coup following his 2022 election loss, with four military members arrested in connection to an assassination plot against President Lula. In Laos, at least five people, including one American, died from methanol-tainted alcohol, prompting international warnings about the toxic chemical used in some alcoholic beverages. FAFSA for the 2025-2026 school year opened yesterday after a delay due to issues with last year’s application process.
