Hezbollah and Israel exchanged heavy fire early Sunday, marking a significant escalation in conflict following Israeli airstrikes that killed 45 in Lebanon. A shooting in Birmingham, Alabama, left four dead and 17 injured, with police launching a manhunt for multiple suspects believed to have targeted one of the victims. Former President Donald Trump hinted that the upcoming election might be his last campaign, stating he would not run again in 2028 if he loses in November. Speaker Mike Johnson announced a House vote this week on a stopgap funding bill to prevent a government shutdown before the September 30th deadline. Republican gubernatorial candidate Mark Robinson faced further turmoil as four senior campaign officials resigned following the revelation of past inappropriate comments, although he remains committed to his campaign.
