SUMMARY: A terrorist attack at a Jerusalem bus station left at least six dead and 17 injured after two gunmen opened fire. The attackers were killed by an off-duty soldier and civilians. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu declared a war on terrorism, vowing to target those behind the attack. The violence escalates amid Israeli Defense Forces’ strikes on Gaza City, killing at least 150 people and destroying apartment buildings, according to Hamas’ health ministry. President Trump issued a final warning to Hamas to accept terms for ending the conflict, expressing hope for a ceasefire, though recent attacks have complicated negotiations.

Israeli police said six people were killed by two attackers at Ramot Junction.

SUMMARY: A bipartisan bill to overhaul FEMA, the Fixing Emergency Management for Americans (FEMA) Act of 2025, advanced 57-3 in the House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee. It would elevate FEMA to a Cabinet-level agency, removing it from Homeland Security, and streamline disaster assistance applications across multiple federal agencies. The bill also allows more local flexibility in emergency housing and stops FEMA from penalizing disaster survivors for receiving charitable aid or SBA loans. While broadly supported, concerns remain about permitting reforms and environmental reviews. Amendments include requiring FEMA to notify Congress of grants and addressing emergency water supply risks for the D.C. area.

SUMMARY: Former Mayor Charles Meeker and Wake County Housing Authority Chair Yolanda Taylor discussed Raleigh’s rapid growth and housing affordability at a Livable Raleigh event. Meeker emphasized the need for reasonable growth, more density, and increased housing of all types to address shortages. Taylor highlighted how Raleigh’s development, including luxury housing near NC State, reflects rapid change. Attendees stressed balanced development and adherence to Raleigh’s comprehensive plan to manage growth responsibly. They also committed to advocating for state laws supporting affordable housing and pushing for new housing projects along key corridors. The ongoing debate over growth and affordability clearly remains urgent and complex.
