abcnews.go.com/US/6-former-mississippi-police-officers-sentenced-state-charges/story

Quick Glance: Mississippi officers sentenced for torture of 2 Black men

Former white Mississippi officers were sentenced in state courts after pleading guilty to torturing two Black men, despite already being sentenced to federal prison terms.

Federal Judge Tom Lee called their actions "egregious and despicable" as he gave sentences near the top of the federal guidelines.

The defendants admitted to breaking into the house, torturing Jenkins and Parker in an hourslong attack that included beatings, repeated uses of stun guns, and sexual assaults before one victim was shot in the mouth.

Federal officers expressed remorse in court, while the victims demanded changes in the sheriff's office and filed a $400 million civil lawsuit.

Quick Glance: IVF Ruling and Abortion Debate in Alabama Election

As the Alabama election approaches, candidates focus on abortion and in vitro fertilization (IVF), with Republicans reinforcing support for IVF and Democrats opposing abortion restrictions.

Democrats strategically highlight reproductive issues post Roe v. Wade overturn, viewing the Alabama race as a pivotal test for their stance on abortion.

Despite voter resonance on reproductive issues, the election outcome is not expected to significantly alter Republican dominance in the state legislature, but would symbolically mark a notable win for Democrats.

The stark divide in candidate strategies underscores the ongoing debate over reproductive rights, shaping the battleground district's electoral landscape with high stakes for both parties.

Quick Glance: Focus on Support for Israel and Ukraine by Mike Johnson

House Speaker Mike Johnson is heavily advocating for support for Israel and Ukraine while trying to push a national security package through the House.

Johnson faces the challenge of juggling the Republican Party's divided support for Kyiv's defense while feeling the pressure to pass a comprehensive aid package for U.S. allies.

In his quest to find ways to promote funding for Ukraine, Johnson is engaging in discussions with the White House and former president Donald Trump. The divisive dynamic within the party and the urgency of the situation in Ukraine present a significant challenge for Johnson.

Johnson must craft a package that includes some policy wins for Republicans while also gaining Democratic approval. Despite concerns from some progressive Democrats regarding support for Israel, most Democratic lawmakers have rallied behind the Senate-passed package.
