Hamas Kills Hostages, Harris's Rafah Misstep, CA Down Payment Program, Parental Health Crisis

Key Topics:

• First up, we dive headfirst into the Israel-Palestine conflict. Six more hostages have been found dead in Gaza, sparking massive protests in the streets of Israel. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is feeling the heat from all sides—critics, supporters, and everyone in between. Next, we zero in on Kamala Harris' comments on Israeli military operations in Rafah. Harris’s previous position against major Israeli action in Rafah has come back to haunt her following the recent tragic events involving those hostages. We'll break down the backlash and what it means for her political standing.
• Then, we shift gears to sunny California, where the Legislature has made a bold move to extend homebuyer subsidies to undocumented immigrants. Even though the program is practically out of funds, proponents say it’s a step toward fairness. Critics, however, see it as an invitation for more illegal immigration. We’ll analyze the conflicting viewpoints and assess the real impact on housing in the Golden State. Finally, we unpack the U.S. Surgeon General’s latest advisory, which brands parent stress as a public health challenge. Dr. Vivek Murthy is calling for a range of policy changes to support parents, from federal paid leave programs to affordable mental health care. We’ll explore the significant stress parents are under and the proposed solutions to this mounting crisis.
