In the Top of the News Stack, A Washington, D.C. group has poured nearly $2 million into defeating Amendment L, while the South Dakota side supporting it has raised about $93,000. Amendment L would raise the bar for changing our state constitution from a simple majority to 60 percent. The Fairness Project, started with money from a California labor union, is the main funder of the No campaign. This is the same group that has spent millions putting abortion rights and Medicaid expansion into state constitutions, including ours in 2022.

The United Nations is set to vote Wednesday on a resolution condemning the decades-long U.S. economic embargo on Cuba as the Trump administration intensifies its campaign to undermine Cuba's socialist government, including by threatening military intervention. The annual exercise aimed at calling out the U.S. government's "maximum pressure policy" has been put before the U.N. General Assembly for the past 34 years, and each time the resolution has received overwhelming support from the 193 member states. Last year, the vote was 165-7, with 12 abstentions. And while it is still expected to pass by a large margin this year, it is unclear if the Trump administration's overt campaign to influence the vote will result in more opposition or abstentions from key countries — including Western allies — than it has in previous years. While such resolutions are not legally binding, they reflect world opinion. The vote before the world body comes as Cuba is weathering deepening financial crises while the U.S. increases its already punishing economic campaign. On top of this, President Donald Trump last week once again raised the specter of U.S. military intervention, saying U.S. warships could stop over in Cuba on their way back from the Iran war. The tensions between Washington and Havana have spilled over into public forums at the United Nations.

FBI agents searched the Beverly Hills mansion of billionaire businessman Stephen Cloobeck on Tuesday in connection with the ongoing criminal investigation into former California Congressman Eric Swalwell, ABC News has learned. "Early this morning, the FBI conducted an operation in the Los Angeles region related to an ongoing criminal investigation. We have no further comment," an FBI spokesperson said.Cloobeck, a former California gubernatorial candidate, was once a close political ally of Swalwell. He dropped his own bid for governor and spent more than $1 million supporting Swalwell's campaign before cutting ties with the former congressman after sexual assault allegations surfaced in April."I am no longer associated with a man that takes advantage of women," Cloobeck told The New York Post in April. "I support women's rights." Sources tell ABC News that Eric Swalwell, a former Bay Area congressman from east of San Francisco (D-Castro VAlley), is also believed to have stayed at Cloobeck's home for a period of time. Cloobeck was a former supporter of Swalwell. In a statement to ABC7 Eyewitness News in San Francisco, Cloobeck's attorneys said he was not home when the search took place. "Mr. Cloobeck was not home when the search warrant was executed and continues to have faith in the judicial process of this country," the attorneys said.
