Areva is joined by expert contributors Dr. Calvin John Smiley and Isaac Wilson to discuss today's top trending headlines.

A humanitarian crisis is unfolding in the Gaza Strip as vital supplies such as food, water, medicine, and fuel are rapidly depleting in the besieged Palestinian territory. Israeli airstrikes have resulted in the loss of over 1,350 lives since Saturday's attack by Hamas. Meanwhile, in Israel, the death toll from Hamas's attack stands at a minimum of 1,300, with additional casualties still being discovered.

This crisis in Israel presents an opportunity for Democrats to bridge a long-standing foreign policy division that Republicans have exploited over the years, allowing them to unite their party behind a president grappling with one of the most significant geopolitical challenges in the region in decades.

Representative Steve Scalise of Louisiana, the second-ranking Republican, narrowly secured his party's nomination for speaker on Wednesday. Nevertheless, he still faces a challenging task in securing the 217 votes required to win the leadership position.

Numerous lawmakers have rejected their party's internal choice of Steve Scalise for the speakership, perpetuating the chaos surrounding this leadership position with no resolution in sight. For Republicans, Wednesday marked yet another instance of the recurring dysfunction within the GOP in the House.

The state of Montana is at the forefront of a campaign by Republican officials to regulate Big Tech. Republican governors, attorney generals, legislators, and conservative policy organizations argue that internet platforms such as TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat are undermining conservative family values and impeding parents from safeguarding their children against harmful online content and predators.

Negotiations between major entertainment studios and the union representing tens of thousands of actors have collapsed. Both sides announced on Thursday morning that they remained at odds on crucial issues.

Manhattan federal prosecutors have filed a new charge against New Jersey Senator Bob Menendez, his wife Nadine, and a third defendant, Wael Hana. They are accused of conspiring to have the senator act as a foreign agent without registering with the Justice Department.
