President Biden is signing a new foreign aid bill into law. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a 95-billion-dollar emergency foreign aid package, which included funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Indo-Pacific. The bill also laid the groundwork to ban the social media app TikTok in the U.S.        House Speaker Mike Johnson will meet with Jewish students at Columbia University today as the school faces massive protests against Israel's actions in the Palestinian territories. Hundreds of students have been protesting for days against the Biden administration's response to the Israel-Hamas war, calling for an end to support for Israel. Johnson's office says he plans to discuss what he sees as a "troubling rise of virulent antisemitism on America's college campuses."        The U.S. Supreme Court is hearing an abortion case for the first time since it overturned Roe v. Wade. Justices are hearing arguments in a case over whether Idaho's strict abortion restrictions conflict with a federal law requiring hospitals to provide patients emergency care. Idaho's law makes it a felony for physicians to perform most abortions except to save the life of the mother.        A former police officer accused of killing his ex-wife and underage girlfriend and then abducting his one-year-old child is dead following a pursuit with Oregon State Police. Authorities say Elias Huizar [[ WE'-zarr ]] died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound yesterday following a car chase that ended when Huizar crashed into a semi on an interstate south of Portland. The one-year-old boy in the car was unharmed and placed with child protective services.        Airlines will soon have to give refunds for canceled and excessively delayed flights. The Department of Transportation announced the rollout of the new rules Wednesday that call for automatic cash refunds if a flight is canceled or delayed for more than three hours or six hours for international flights. Refunds of checked bag fees will also be required if a passenger's luggage is lost and not returned within 12 hours.        Pearl Jam will headline two nights of Eddie Vedder's Ohana Festival in California this summer. Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Alanis Morissette, Garbage and Turnpike Troubadours are the other headliners of the three day festival. The festival will take place September 27th through the 29th at Doheney State Beach in Dana Point.
