Fallout from former President Trump's August 26 visit to Arlington National Cemetery continued Sunday, with allies lining up to recast the visit as a knock against President Biden and Vice President Harris.

Here's what you missed when lawmakers hit the airwaves on Sept. 1.

The Secretary General of Israel's national workers union, the Histadrut, announced a general strike to protest against the Netanyahu government and called for an immediate hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal. The strike will begin on Monday morning.

Why it matters: The Histadrut is a powerful workers union and a general strike will almost completely shut down the country.

Israel Defense Forces recovered the bodies of six Israeli hostages held by Hamas in Gaza, including one American citizen, Israeli officials said.

Why it matters: The recovery operation took place amid continued efforts to reach a hostage-release and ceasefire in Gaza deal.

Former President Donald Trump is vowing to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education and Vice President Kamala Harris wants to stem school shootings. Beyond that, neither has offered detailed plans for the nation's K-12 public school system, giving them a mandate to do nothing.

Why it matters: Student reading scores have fallen to 20-year lows, states are facing teacher shortages and racial segregation in schools has returned to levels not seen since the 1960s.
