Sophie Hurwitz, reporter at Mother Jones, explains why AIPAC targeted some Squad members, not others.
And in headlines: New federal data showed inflation dropped below 3 percent for the first time since March 2021, the World Health Organization declared a global health emergency in response to an outbreak of mpox in 13 African countries, and archival data from NASA’s Insight Lander shows evidence of water on Mars.
