Israel strikes Houthi targets in Yemen as it continues to bomb Lebanon

Israel hits Yemen

Israel launched a wave of airstrikes against Houthi targets in Yemen on Sunday while continuing to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon, where the Lebanese health ministry said 105 people had been killed and another 359 injured. The fresh assaults on Iran-backed proxies across the Middle East risk accelerating a slide towards a devastating regional conflict on multiple fronts.

The attack on the port of Hodeidah in Yemen involved dozens of Israeli planes and appears to have targeted fuel facilities, power plants and docks at the Ras Issa and Hodeidah ports. It one of the biggest such operations yet seen in the near year-long crisis in the region. Houthi media reports said the strikes had killed four people and wounded 33. Residents said the strikes caused power cuts in most parts of Hodeidah. Israeli military officials said the raid targeted the Houthis, an armed Iranian-backed group that controls most of Yemen.

They have fired at Israeli targets for months in what they say is solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza. They have also targeted international shipping in the Red Sea. On Saturday, they launched a ballistic missile attack on Israel’s main international airport when Benjamin Netanyahu, the Israeli prime minister, was arriving.

Republican Policies Are Making It Harder For Trans People To Vote — And Do Everyday Life

Transgender voting issuesBrandyn Gallagher should be on the road right now. Instead, the 36-year-old, who has spent the last five years driving an 18-wheeler, is at home in northeast Arkansas looking for a new job.

Gallagher doesn’t want to give up trucking. They pivoted to the profession after working as a consultant for diversity, equity and inclusion programs, and were happy it provided some financial stability to help pay off their student loans. But they are worried that a new state rule about gender markers on driver’s licenses might put them at risk when they’re on the road.

In March, Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders signed an emergency order eliminating the “X” gender-neutral marker option, which had been in place for 14 years. Gallagher has an X on their license to denote their identity as a trans and intersex person. The order also forces trans people to provide an amended birth certificate with their correct gender marker, which they can obtain only after getting a court order and presenting medical documentation of surgery, before they can change the gender marker on their license.

US House fails to pass federal funding bill as shutdown deadline nears

Hous Speaker Johnson

A government funding package championed by Republican House speaker Mike Johnson failed to pass on Wednesday, with less than two weeks left to prevent a shutdown starting 1 October.

The final vote was 202 to 220, with 14 House Republicans and all but three House Democrats opposing the bill. Two Republican members voted “present”.

The bill was not expected to pass, as a number of House Republicans had voiced criticism of the proposal before the vote. Given Republicans’ narrow House majority and Democrats’ widespread opposition to the bill, Johnson could only afford a handful of defections within his conference. Johnson delayed a vote on the funding package last week in the hopes of consolidating Republicans’ support, but those efforts could not get the bill across the finish line.

Ali Truwit wins bronze

A shark attack just days after her graduation from Yale last May left former Division I swimmer Ali Truwit with an amputated leg and a host of questions.

“I’m a lifelong athlete — 10 days before the attack I’d run a marathon with my mom,” Truwit told The Kelly Clarkson Show earlier this year. “And I was sitting there thinking, ‘Am I ever going to run again? Am I ever going to be able to be an athlete again?' ”

The answer is an Olympic-sized yes.

Roy Cooper dropped VP bid over fears about extremist lieutenant governor

Roy Cooper

The Democratic governor of North Carolina, Roy Cooper, withdrew from consideration for Kamala Harris’s vice-presidential pick in part because he feared his extremist Republican lieutenant governor could try to seize power – or at least the spotlight – in his absence.

“Mark Robinson, the Republican nominee for governor, is the most extreme statewide candidate in the country right now,” Cooper told Politico in an article published on Saturday, as Harris prepared to name her choice to take on Donald Trump and JD Vance. Harris’s decision is expected before a rally in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

“If I were to be out of state at a campaign event, if I had been the vice-presidential nominee, he could claim he was acting governor,” Cooper said.

Defense Department to bolster Israeli defenses after assassinations in Iran and Beirut

PentagonThe Pentagon moved Friday to bolster defenses in the Middle East as tensions spike following the assassinations of Iranian-backed militant leaders by Israel, officials said.

Late Friday, the Pentagon announced that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin ordered the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier strike group to replace the USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group in the region as well as additional ballistic missile defense warships, according to Sabrina Singh, the deputy Pentagon press secertary.

Austin also ordered the deployment of an additional fighter squadron to the Middle East, Singh said in a statement. A Defense official identified those warplanes as F-22s, the Air Force's most sophisticated warplanes. An attack by Iran or its proxies on Israel is expected, according to the official, who was not authorized to speak publicly.
