A sweeping data privacy bill was unveiled by two key lawmakers from opposing parties on Sunday.
Why it matters: This landmark legislation would make privacy a consumer right and put people in control of their own personal data, per a joint statement from Senate Commerce Committee Chair Maria Cantwell (D-Wash.) and House Energy and Commerce Committee Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-Wash.) Sunday.
A month after Nikki Haley dropped out of the Republican race, former President Trump is still dealing with a contingent of voters showing up to cast primary ballots for candidates who aren't him.
Why it matters: PresidentBiden has more successfully unified his voters despite never facing a strong primary opponent and an organized protest vote over the war in Gaza.
A man was arrested Sunday for allegedly starting a fire at the Vermont office of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), according to federal officials.
The big picture: Police in Vermont had been searching for a suspect in connection with alleged arson following a small blaze on Friday. Sanders was not in the office at the time, per AP.
House Intelligence Committee Chair Mike Turner (R-Ohio) said Sunday that it's "absolutely true" that Russian propaganda has made its way into Congress.
Why it matters: Turner joins a growing line of GOP figures speaking out about it, including House Foreign Affairs Committee Chair Michael McCaul (R-Texas), who said Russian propaganda has "infected a good chunk of my party's base."
Six months after Hamas' Oct. 7 terrorist attack on Israel, the war in Gaza is in limbo. But that's not necessarily a bad thing for beleaguered Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who's fighting for his political survival.
Driving the news: Netanyahu has vowed to attack the city of Rafah to root out Hamas militants — but he's under increasing pressure not to do so, and so far has held off.
Former President Trump said Saturday that going to jail for violating his gag order in his New York hush money trial would be his "great honor."
Why it matters: The presumptive GOP presidential nominee is days away from the April 15 start of the trial, where Judge Juan Merchan recently expanded a gag order to stop the former president from attacking family members of those involved in the case.
The Palestinian death toll from the Israel-Hamas war is over 32,000. Among those killed in Gaza are 196 aid workers, including seven World Central Kitchen workers who died in an Israeli air strike last Monday.
Since former President Trump's smooth ride to become the GOP's presumptive nominee last month, his team's pivot to a general election campaign has been more chaotic, with backtracking and second-guessing.
Why it matters: Many of the hiccups have revolved around Trump's takeover of the Republican National Committee. His team now has rehired many of the 60 staffers who were fired when Trump took control last month.
Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) signed onto a call by progressive members of Congress for the U.S. to stop transferring weapons to Israel over a strike that killed seven aid workers in Gaza.
Why it matters: It's a significant break with Israel by a long-standing supporter that underscores growing fissures between Democrats and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
President Biden's campaign entered April with more than $192 million in cash on hand, the campaign announced Saturday, touting the total as the most-ever for a Democratic candidate at this point in the election cycle.
Why it matters: The campaign's cash on hand total is more than double the $93.1 million the Republican National Committee and Donald Trump's campaign had entering April, adding to Democrats' huge cash edge.
