House Speaker Mike Johnson vowed on Sunday to move forward with a $14.5 billion aid package for Israel when the House returns later this week, according to sources on his first GOP conference call since ascending to the top job.

Johnson’s decision to move a standalone funding bill for Israel, which he told members would be fully paid for, and detach it from Ukraine aid will tee up a showdown with the Democratic-controlled Senate and White House, which prefer to link the two issues, given Ukraine aid on its own faces an uncertain path in the GOP-led House. Johnson told CNN last week he supports Ukraine aid but needs “conditions” on it.

Hattie McDaniel was born on June 10, 1895, in Wichita, Kansas. Initially a singer, songwriter, and comedian in vaudeville and radio, she gained fame as Mammy in the 1939 film "Gone with the Wind," winning the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress in 1940, making her the first African American to win an Oscar and she willed her Oscar to Howard University. Despite this milestone, she faced racial segregation, being barred from the film's premiere and seated at a segregated table at the Oscar ceremony. After her Oscar win, McDaniel found herself typecast, often playing the roles of maids or servants. Hollywood's stereotypical view of Black characters restricted her to roles that didn't fully showcase her talent. Yet McDaniel's legacy in American cinema endures despite her passing on October 26, 1952.

55 years ago,Tommie Smith and John Carlos performed the Black Power salute at the Olympics that outraged millions of white Americans.
This was an act of protest by U.S. athletes Tommie Smith and John Carlos during their medal ceremony at the 1968 Summer Olympics in the Olympic Stadium in Mexico City. As they turned to face their flags and hear the American national anthem (The Star-Spangled Banner), they each raised a Black-gloved fist and kept them raised until the anthem had finished. Smith, Carlos and Australian silver medalist Peter Norman all wore human rights badges on their jackets.
The event is regarded as one of the most overtly political statements in the history of the modern Olympic Games.

Both athletes were kicked off the US team for their protest.
