—Here are 3 big things you need to know—
One — The Biden administration says military assistance to Israel may be restricted if the country doesn't improve the humanitarian situation in Gaza within the next month. That's according to a letter sent to Israeli officials last weekend. Biden officials said the U.S. must constantly check under law if Israel is directly or indirectly disrupting U.S. humanitarian aid to Palestinians in Gaza.
Two ---- Secretary of State Jocelyn Benson has launched the Michigan Voting Dashboard. The online tool will allow people to access election data by county and jurisdiction and has a focus on absentee and early voting. Data includes the number of absentee ballots requested, how many have been returned and tabulated, and the number of early ballots cast. Information on individual voters will not be available to protect ballot secrecy.
And number three — The Federal Trade Commission is making it easier to cancel digital subscriptions. It announced it would soon put in place a "final click to cancel rule." It would require sellers to make it "as easy for consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to sign up."
