SUMMARY: Two Israeli embassy staffers, Yaran Lashinsky and Sarah Mgrim, were fatally shot outside the Capitol Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., after attending an event. The suspect, 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, was arrested on the scene, reportedly shouting “Free Palestine!” during his arrest. Authorities say he acted alone. The attack has raised fears of escalating violence amid ongoing Israeli-Gaza conflict and recent U.S. anti-Israel protests. The couple, engaged to be married, were targeted in an apparent anti-Semitic attack. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu announced increased security at Israeli missions globally. Local leaders condemned the violence and anti-Semitism.

Two Israeli Embassy staff members were shot and killed in an ambush late last night as they were leaving an event at the Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Police say the accused gunman screamed “Free Palestine” as he was being arrested.

SUMMARY: The Education Department announced that interest on student loans under the SAVE plan will resume on August 1. The SAVE plan, introduced during the Biden administration to offer low or zero monthly payments, was struck down as illegal by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court. Since the ruling, borrowers have been in forbearance without interest accrual, possibly lasting until 2026. The Department criticized the Biden administration for misleading borrowers with false loan forgiveness promises. With new congressional rules, borrowers must shift to either a standard repayment plan or the new Repayment Assistance Plan by 2028. The Department urges affected borrowers to switch to compliant plans soon.

SUMMARY: Consumer Reports advises washing new clothes before wearing them to remove chemicals and irritants from manufacturing that can cause skin irritation, especially for sensitive skin and babies. New garments, often made overseas, can also pick up dust, dirt, and bugs during shipping and handling. Washing clothes with similar colors in cold water on a gentle cycle helps prevent fading and shrinking. Use gentle detergents like Pur Everyday Clean Free or Costco’s Kirkland Signature Ultra Clean Free and Clear. Always follow care labels and avoid fabric softeners, as they may irritate skin, leave residue, and increase flammability of fabrics.
