• Speaker Johnson claims Congress has authority over federal courts, including elimination of entire district courts
• Critics warn citizenship documentation requirements could prevent millions of legitimate voters from participating in elections 

 Against this backdrop, Donald Trump has signed an executive order mandating citizenship documentation for voter registration. The order requires Americans to provide proof like passports or Real IDs when registering to vote, instructions the Election Assistance Commission to modify federal registration forms, and conditions election funding on compliance. The Brennan Center for Justice warns this would block tens of millions of legitimate voters who may lack such documentation, highlighting the tension between election security claims and voter accessibility concerns.

Meanwhile, extraordinary scenes unfold in Gaza where hundreds of Palestinians marched with white flags, openly calling for Hamas to leave. Their chants of "Hamas out" represent a remarkable display of dissent against the militant group that has controlled the territory since 2007. These protesters risk severe consequences by criticizing Hamas leadership, demonstrating the desperate circumstances facing civilians caught between warring factions. Simultaneously, Israelis protest Netanyahu's handling of hostage negotiations, creating parallel demonstrations of civilian frustration with leadership on both sides of the conflict.
