The Anti-Defamation League has sued Iran, Syria, and North Korea, aiming to hold them accountable for supporting Hamas in its October 7th attacks against Israel. CEO and National Director Jonathan Greenblatt explains why he’s seeking financial compensation for over 125 plaintiffs. The Department of Energy is releasing 1 million barrels of gasoline to lower pump prices before the July 4th holiday. And ahead of that holiday, author and immersive journalist A.J. Jacobs wrote “The Year of Living Constitutionally” about his year living as closely as possible to the Constitution’s guidelines. He explains what he learned using a quill pen and adhering to 18th century norms for a year.
