"Biden's Michigan Visit Sparks Protests Over Israel-Palestine Conflict"

President Biden visited Michigan, meeting with UAW union members and avoiding interaction with the Arab American community, which is angered by U.S. support for Israel's actions in Gaza. The visit was kept secretive due to concerns about protests, and Biden's campaign did not engage with Arab American or Muslim communities. Michigan's large Arab American and Muslim populations have turned against Biden due to his support for Israel, and some have launched an "Abandon Biden" campaign. Biden's dilemma in Michigan, a critical swing state, is exacerbated by the community's anger, and his campaign is facing pressure to address the issue.

Mack Trucks and UAW Union Avert Strike with Tentative Deal

Mack Trucks and the United Auto Workers union reached a last-minute tentative contract agreement, narrowly avoiding a strike by 3,900 employees. The union's contract was set to expire at 11:59 pm ET, but the agreement needs to be ratified by the rank-and-file for it to go into effect. The deal comes as the union continues to strike against three major car manufacturers. Details of the agreement were not immediately released, but it reflects the union's demands for improved wages, healthcare, and pension benefits. A strike would have further drained the union's strike fund, which is already supporting over 25,000 striking members.
