A shooting at Michigan State University Monday night left at least three students dead and five others critically injured. It came on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Parkland, Florida school shooting, and has, once again, renewed calls for Congress to take on gun control reform.

California Senator Dianne Feinstein announced that she will not seek re-election in 2024. As the oldest sitting member of the Senate, Feinstein’s pioneering political career spanned decades – though some have questioned her ability to serve in recent years.

And in headlines: the first U.N. aid convoys have arrived in rebel-controlled northwest Syria to help with earthquake relief, the Democratic-led Senate confirmed President Biden’s 100th federal judge, and France said its troops were misrepresented in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.”
