Aaron, since we've been talking, the more details have emerged about the shooter. He's been charged with murder and that he told police that he, quote unquote, did it for Gaza.

Here's what else you need to know today. On Thursday, the Trump administration said it would halt Harvard's ability to enroll international students. Because those students represent a quarter of the university's student body, the move could strip Harvard of a crucial source of revenue.

The legislation, which now heads to the Senate, would slash taxes, steer more money to the military and border security, and pay for some of the costs with cuts to Medicaid, food assistance, education, and clean energy programs. Democrats, who uniformly oppose the bill, accused Republicans of voting to gut vital government programs to pay for tax breaks to the rich.

From The New York Times, I'm Rachel Abrams, and this is The Daily. President Trump once approached the challenge of ending Russia's war in Ukraine as a straight-ahead deal, something that he could achieve easily. But after months of trying, he's signaling that he might actually walk away.
