Hundreds of people across the U.S. have been arrested in the past two weeks for protesting the Gaza war. Anti-Israel protests have sprung up across the country since the NYPD arrested over 100 demonstrators at Columbia University on April 18th. The New York Times says since then, protesting students have been setting up tents at campuses across the country, and over 400 protesters have been arrested.       Details of former tabloid publisher David Pecker's involvement in Donald Trump's alleged hush money trial came to light in court Thursday. Pecker took the stand for his third day of testimony, and said he arranged to buy the story surrounding Trump's alleged affair with Playboy model Karen McDougal for $150,000, but backed out of the deal after consulting with election lawyers, believing the payment may break the law. Court is set to resume this morning.       Secretary of State Antony Blinken is heading back home from China after three days of meetings with Chinese officials. Blinken called his three-hour meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi "extensive and constructive." Wang said a "major question" between the U.S. and China is if the two countries should "keep to the right direction of moving forward with stability" or if they're going to "return to a downward spiral."        Tennessee Governor Bill Lee says he plans to sign a bill that would allow teachers to carry guns. The State House passed the bill along party lines earlier this week, and on Thursday Lee confirmed he plans to sign the bill into law.       The first night of the 2024 NFL Draft had its fair share of offensive players fly off the board.

The Chicago Bears kicked off the night by selecting USC quarterback Caleb Williams with the first overall pick.        Colombia has become the first country to restrict the import of U.S. beef due to cows testing positive for bird flu.
