washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/18/campaign-moment/
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

washingtonpost.com/national-security/2024/03/29/us-weapons-israel-gaza-war/
Quick Glance: U.S. Approves Weapon Transfers to Israel Amid Concerns
- The Biden administration recently quietly authorized the transfer of billions of dollars in bombs and fighter jets to Israel despite Washington's concerns about an anticipated military operation in southern Gaza that could threaten the lives of hundreds of thousands of Palestinian civilians.
- The new weapons packages consist of a significant number of MK84 2,000-pound bombs and MK82 500-pound bombs. This highlights that the Biden administration considers weapons transfers off-limits when influencing the actions of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
- Some Democrats, including allies of President Biden, argue that the U.S. government should withhold weapons if Israel does not commit to limiting civilian casualties during a planned operation in Rafah and easing restrictions on humanitarian aid in the famine-threatened Gaza Strip.
- Biden's recurring approvals of weapons transfers are strongly supported by powerful pro-Israel interest groups in Washington, including the American Israel Public Affairs Committee.

Quick Glance: GOP States Challenge Biden's Student Loan Repayment Plan
- Eleven Republican-led states sued on Thursday to overturn President Biden’s new student loan repayment plan, arguing the program is a scheme to provide widespread debt relief that the Supreme Court struck down last year.
- The lawsuit claims that the president has once again overstepped his authority by creating the Saving on a Valuable Education program, commonly known as Save, which offers lower monthly payments for millions of borrowers and a faster path to debt cancellation.
- While the states repeat arguments against debt relief in the lawsuit, it is emphasized that the Save plan is based on different authority than the rejected president's order that provided $430 billion in debt relief during the pandemic.
- Save is an amended version of an existing repayment plan, known as Revised Pay as You Earn, or Repaye, promising to forgive a borrower’s balance after 20 or 25 years of payments.
