    Biden Speaks On Protests, Google's Antitrust Trial, Russian Neighbor's Protests

    Mass Arrests at Columbia, Blinken's Mideast Visit, Florida's New Abortion Law
    New York City police used force overnight to zip-tie the hands of dozens of Columbia University student protesters and haul them away in buses, clearing the encampment two weeks after tents first popped up.
