4:13Israel's expanding invasion of Lebanon has now killed over 1,200 people, displaced more than a million, and included the deliberate targeting of journalists — with the Israeli military caught using a photoshopped image to justify one strike.

Back home, a Congressional funding deadlock has left TSA agents unpaid for over 40 days, producing the longest security wait times in TSA history and nearly 500 officer resignations — with no permanent fix in sight despite a Trump executive workaround. Busy professionals with any travel planned or investments tied to Middle East stability need to hear this one.
