Quick Glance: Ukraine, Israel Aid Bill Advances in House

The House has advanced a foreign aid package of $95 billion for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and humanitarian support with rare bipartisan support.

Speaker Mike Johnson implemented a strategy to secure support for wartime funding, especially for Ukraine in its battle against Russia.

President Joe Biden and even Republican presumptive presidential nominee Donald Trump have endorsed the speaker's efforts.

To pass each bill, complex bipartisan coalitions need to be formed by Johnson due to his slim Republican majority in the House, relying on Democratic support.

Mandisa, former ‘American Idol’ contestant and Grammy winner, dies at 47, reports say

Quick Glance: Mandisa, 'American Idol' Singer and Grammy Winner, Passes Away at 47

Grammy-winning singer Mandisa, who rose to fame on season five of 'American Idol,' has passed away, her representative confirmed on Friday.

Mandisa, whose full name is Mandisa Lynn Hundley, shot to stardom after placing ninth on 'American Idol.' She went on to win a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album in 2014 for her album 'Overcomer.'

In 2017, the singer told 'Good Morning America' that she fell into a deep depression in 2014 and almost took her own life following the death of her close friend, Lakisha Mitchell, who had breast cancer.

Tributes poured in following news of Mandisa’s passing, with colleagues like Robin Roberts and Matthew West expressing their sorrow and reminiscing about their time spent with the late singer.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.
