We=E2=80=99re mo= nitoring developments out of the Middle East. Early this morning, Israel launched =E2=80=9Ce= xtensive strikes=E2=80=9D against Hamas targets in Gaza. Here=E2=80= =99s the latest:

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes = =E2=80=94 the most intense since the January ceasefire =E2=80=94 were a res= ponse to Hamas=E2=80=99s =E2=80=9Crepeated refusal=E2=80=9D to release host= ages and its rejection of mediator proposals. The Hamas-run Gaza Health Min= istry said the strikes killed more than 320 Palestinians. The New York Times reported that four senior= Hamas officials were among those killed.

  • Axios reports<= /u> that Israel notified the Trump administration ahead of the strikes = and shared what its objectives moving forward are.

  • Mediators =E2=80=94 = including officials from the US, Egypt, and Qatar =E2=80=94 had been trying= to negotiate the next phase of the ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas= , but talks have stalled. The strikes could fully reignite the war that has= lasted 17 months.

Immigration

Immigrant Family De= tentions Are Back

What's going on: The Trump administration has start= ed detaining immigrant families with children= , reviving a controversial practice that the Biden administration ended= . Over a dozen families have already arrived at one of two facilities that = reopened in southern Texas. Some people had been in the US for a few weeks,= while others had lived here for nearly a decade, according to RAICES, a le= gal nonprofit. Immigration advocates have denounced the return of family de= tention, warning of its harmful effects on children =E2=80=94 including abu= se, psychological trauma, and, in some cases, dea= th. A children=E2=80=99s rights lawyer told The New York Times that the stories of detained children =E2=80=9Chaunt=E2=80=9D her.

What it mea= ns: Previous administrations (like former President Barack Obama= =E2=80=99s) have used family detention centers. But experts say the Trump a= dmin=E2=80=99s move is part of a broader promise to deport =E2=80=9Cmi= llions and millions of criminal aliens.=E2=80=9D Since Trump=E2=80=99s = return to office, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has ex= panded its contracts with facilities in New Jersey, Ohio, Nevada, Oklah= oma, and Mississippi.

The move has sp= arked fierce debate, with critics warning of widespread disruption to famil= ies and communities =E2=80=94 while supporters argue it=E2=80=99s a necessa= ry step to enforce immigration law nationwide.

Who Else Wants to RSVP "No"?

What's going on:<= /span> The days of yelling =E2=80=9Ccabs are here=E2=80=9D while pregam= ing could be behind us. Some reports suggest that America=E2=80=99s days of partying might be long gone. According t= o the Bureau of Labor Statistics, only 4.1% of Americans attended or hosted= a social event on weekends or holidays in 2023. So why are so many people = hanging up their party hats? For starters, it=E2=80=99s expensive. In this = economy, it=E2=80=99s hard to justify a $70 Uber home (thanks, surcharge) o= r $15 for an espresso martini. Plus, many people got comfortable spending S= aturday nights on the couch after doing it for so long during the pandemic.= We=E2=80=99ve gone from lounges to lounging.

What it means: It=E2=80= =99s not over until it=E2=80=99s over (unless a bouncer says so). Just beca= use people have left their party or clubbing days behind, doesn=E2=80=99t n= ecessarily mean they aren=E2=80=99t looking for connection =E2=80=94 they= =E2=80=99re finding new ways to get out there, and different businesses are= stepping up to meet the demand. One DJ came up with the idea of early even= ing dance parties, which have since evolved into a weekly social club. And = as more people drink less, nonalcoholic bars are popping up in major cities= . Still, even as more people decide to host a party-of-one at home, too man= y nights alone could be bad for your health if th= ey lead to loneliness. Meanwhile, some are hopeful that America has= more parties ahead as people relearn how to hang out.
