There have been 162 severe weather reports, and the forecast predicts more severe weather from Dallas through the south and up the east coast to Washington, D.C., with a focus on wind damage. The political climate is also tense after President Biden halted a shipment of weapons to Israel, causing a rift and concerns over humanitarian aid in Rafah.

🏭 President Biden's Wisconsin Visit and Economy Focus

President Biden visited the crucial battleground state of Wisconsin, announcing the creation of a multibillion-dollar A.I. data center and Microsoft's promise of thousands of jobs.

The report also covers the ongoing tensions in the Middle East affecting graduation season, with disruptions at various college campuses due to pro-Palestinian protests. The situation has led to police intervention, arrests, and clashes, prompting a House Committee to grill administrators on accusations of anti-Semitism in schools.

Following years of NBC News reporting on accusations of racist and homophobic bullying at schools in Southlake, Texas, the Department of Education is now calling on the district to address claims of civil rights violations. The district has been notified of the intention to negotiate over four students' complaints. This comes after a video of students chanting a racial slur went viral in 2018 and a proposed diversity and inclusion plan was defeated by conservative residents. The Southlake Carroll School District has not responded to requests for comment, but the Department of Education's involvement indicates a formal finding of civil rights violations.
