In Must Know News…

• Marjorie Taylor Greene's attempt to remove Mike Johnson as Speaker was unsuccessful on Wednesday, as only ten House Republicans supported her motion to vacate. Greene's vote was prompted by Johnson's support for foreign aid to Ukraine and followed weeks of threats from the hardline Republican.
• The US has temporarily halted a shipment of 3,500 bombs to Israel for two weeks following its assault on Rafah, marking the first instance of the US withholding military aid to Israel in the Israel-Hamas War. D.C. Police arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protestors at George Washington University and broke up a 2-week tent encampment with pepper-spray.
• RFK Jr.’s campaign confirms that a parasitic worm ate part of his brain. This stunning revelation comes after The New York Times obtained comments from a 2012 deposition in which he admitted to having cognitive problems from the worm. RFK Jr. had also reportedly been diagnosed with mercury poisoning at the time, due to his diet and love of tuna fish sandwiches.
