President Biden is preparing to sign a new foreign aid bill into law. On Tuesday, the Senate passed a 95-billion-dollar emergency foreign aid package, which included 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.       Columbia University has reached a deal with students protesting the war in Gaza. The pro-Palestinian protesters are calling for the Ivy League New York school to divest from any financial interests with Israel, and have set up a large tent city on school grounds. Columbia on Tuesday set a midnight deadline for protesters to disband. Early this morning, the school said the protesters had agreed to remove some of the tents, to make non-student protesters leave and to bar harassing language among the students, delaying possible police action for 48 hours.        Millions of salaried workers in the U.S. will soon qualify for overtime pay thanks to a new rule from the Biden administration. The rule announced Tuesday by the Department of Labor changes the threshold under which salaried employees become eligible for overtime. The department estimates that an extra four-million workers will qualify for overtime once the rule is implemented in January.        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 made the announcement Tuesday, less than a month after an outbreak of the bird flu was found in herds of dairy cows for the first time.        Ozzy Osbourne has a few words for his former band Black Sabbath amid his solo induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a post on X, the legendary singer said his solo career has been a much larger part of his life as a whole, so being inducted on his own just feels all the more special. He added "not bad for a guy who was fired from his last band."        The NBA playoffs continued on Tuesday with three more contests. The Minnesota Timberwolves put together a dominant 105-93 win over the Phoenix Suns at the Target Center to take a 2-0 series lead. In the East, the Indiana Pacers evened their series with a 125-108 takedown of the Milwaukee Bucks. Out West, the Dallas Mavericks downed the L.A. Clippers 96-93 in Game Two at Crypto-Dot-Com Arena.
