Testimony is back underway in former President Trump's criminal hush money trial in New York City. Former National Enquirer publisher David Pecker is taking the stand again. Before the trial resumed, a hearing was held to determine if Trump violated his gag order. Judge Juan Merchan reserved decision on whether or not the former President made any violations.        Protesters continue to call attention to the crisis in the Middle East on a growing number of college campuses. Demonstrators at Columbia University say they want the Ivy League school to divest from companies they say profit from Israel's violations of international law and Palestinian rights. As the protests spread, a number of arrests were made yesterday at Yale as well as New York University.        The Senate will hold a key vote today to advance the 95-billion dollar aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and the Indo-Pacific. The package includes 60-billion in military assistance for Ukraine, 26-billion in aid for Israel and humanitarian relief in Gaza, and eight-billion for Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific. It also includes legislation to force TikTok's Chinese-based parent company ByteDance to sell the social media platform or be banned in the U.S.        Today is primary election day in Pennsylvania. Voters will have the opportunity to voice their opinion on the president, U.S. House and Senate and other important races. On the presidential side of things, both President Biden and former President Trump have already locked in enough delegates to be the nominees of their respective parties setting the stage for a general election rematch.        Gas prices are down just a bit. Triple-A puts today's national average at three-66 a gallon. That's a penny off yesterday's average. Drivers in California are paying the highest by far at five-43, while Mississippi is seeing some of the lowest prices in the country, with a gallon going for three-09 on average.        X is launching a dedicated app for smart TVs as it continues pushing video. Elon Musk's app launched Tuesday, and it includes a trending video algorithm, with topics powered by AI and cross-device compatibility, according to "The Hollywood Reporter." A note sent to the company's corporate partners says the X TV app won't have any ads at launch, but the company is leaving open the possibility.
