That wasn't enough to pass, but in Pirate Barbara Sprunt reports that Tally highlights a major political shift.
The proposed amendment to a State Department funding bill would have removed over $3 billion
in funding to Israel. It ultimately failed. The measure was introduced by Republican Congressman Thomas Massey of Kentucky, who has long advocated for a more isolationist posture when it comes to foreign policy. The issue divided democratic leaders who typically vote in lockstep.

Maine Governor Janet Mills calling on Congress to dramatically reform immigration and customs
enforcement after a fatal shooting this week, Maine Public's Michael Livingston reports. In a letter sent to Maine's congressional delegation this week, Mills claimed Congress has failed to pass any substantial oversight of ICE despite numerous killings by agents. She suggested reforms such as banning ICE agents from covering their faces, requiring them to identify themselves where body cameras and implement better training.
That doesn't happen, she wrote the agency should be abolished. We'd like to see more aggressive action on the part of the Congress to protect the lives of people across this country, not just in Bitterford, not just in Maine, but everywhere. Several Democrats seeking to challenge Maine Senator Susan Collins for her seat say, "They'll work to abolish the agency if elected."
Federal and state law enforcement are still investigating the shooting as of Wednesday.

New Fed Chairman Kevin Wars bowing to put inflation in the rear view mirror he was on
capital Hill Wednesday and PR Scott Worsley.

Of course, tensions in the Strait have rekindled in July, so now energy prices are going up again. Even if you strip out energy prices, overall inflation is still too high. It's been high for more than five years now. And Kevin Wars told senators, if he and his colleagues do their jobs right, they will
wrestle prices under control. And you're listening to NPR News. A group of former meta-employees, suing the parent company of Facebook, claiming it used artificial intelligence to make layoffs in ways of violated the law. NPR is John Brue, which reports that meta says the claims lack merit.
The plaintiffs are a group of 26 unnamed former employees at meta. Their lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court in Oakland, California says meta used a quote constellation of internal artificial intelligence systems to assess employees on a set of metrics that were then used to inform layoffs in May. The company cut about a tenth of its workforce.
The plaintiffs say the company did not take into account protected leave and approved absences like medical pregnancy or paternal leave. They argue, in effect, that the AI systems targeted them as under performers. Meta says in a statement that claims lack merit and are not based in fact, it says workforce management and organizational decisions are made by people, not AI.
