President Biden is set to sign a new foreign aid bill into law. This, after the Senate on Tuesday passed a 95-billion-dollar emergency foreign aid package, which includes funding for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and the Indo-Pacific. The bill also laid the groundwork to ban the social media app TikTok in the U.S.        The U.S. Supreme Court is taking on a case involving emergency abortions. The high court will hear oral arguments today on whether emergency rooms in Idaho can provide abortions to a woman whose health is at risk. Idaho's law, as it stands now, makes it a felony for physicians to perform most abortions except to save the life of the mother.        The Food and Drug Administration says the bird flu virus has been detected in some samples of pasteurized milk in the U.S. The FDA says the pasteurization of the milk "is likely to inactivate the virus" and it's therefore still safe to drink, although they're still waiting for test results to confirm that statement.        Owning a home may still be considered part of the so-called American Dream, but prices are putting that dream increasingly out of reach for many. A new survey from Bankrate found 78 percent of Americans say homeownership is a key part of the dream, more so than a comfortable retirement, successful career or a college degree. Of those, more than half say they don't have the income to buy a house, or can't afford a down payment and closing costs.        Elon Musk's X platform is launching a dedicated app for smart TVs as it continues pushing video. A note sent to the company's corporate partners says the X TV app, which launched Tuesday, won't have any ads just yet, but that could change in the future.       Two more teams in the Stanley Cup playoffs are knocking on the door of round two. The Panthers slipped by the Lightning 3-2 in overtime to earn a 2-0 series lead heading into Tampa for Game Three. The Rangers share the same advantage following a 4-3 victory over the Capitals as the series shifts to DC. Meanwhile, the Avalanche took down the Jets 5-2 in Winnipeg and the Predators edged the Canucks 4-1 with the series now switching to Nashville for the first time.
