Start your week smart: Biden campaign, Trump shooting, tech outages, Evan Gershkovich, Sheila Jackson Lee

The human body is a living, breathing vehicle that we rely on to navigate life, so maintaining mobility is an essential part of our overall well-being. Unfortunately, one-size-fits-all workouts often fall short of delivering a functional, pain-free range of motion. The good news is that creating an effective, personalized mobility routine can be simple and time-efficient if you follow these 10 practical steps.

Here’s what else you need to know to Start Your Week Smart.

The weekend that was

• No one quite knows what the process of picking a new nominee would be if Joe Biden did step aside, but many Democrats say that any process is likelier than ever to quickly end with Vice President Kamala Harris as the nominee. Harris got one of her most roaring responses in years at a fundraiser in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Follow live updates.
• Former President Donald Trump’s security detail had complained they were not being given enough resources and personnel by the Secret Service over the past two years, and the agency acknowledged it denied some requests. Investigators believe Trump’s would-be assassin flew a drone over the rally site on the day of the shooting.
• Additional flight cancellations are expected through this weekend as airlines recover from a global tech outage that has left thousands of passengers stranded. Businesses, government agencies, banks and schools also were affected by a cybersecurity firm’s flawed software update.
• Evan Gershkovich, the first American journalist to be arrested on espionage charges in Russia since the Cold War, has been found guilty of spying and sentenced to 16 years in prison by a Russian court, in a case that the US denounced as a sham.
• Sheila Jackson Lee, a longtime Democratic congresswoman from Texas who was an outspoken advocate for Black Americans for decades, died at 74. She announced in June that she had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

The week ahead

Monday
Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle will testify before the House Oversight Committee in the wake of the assassination attempt on Trump. In an interview with CNN last week, Cheatle said the Secret Service was “solely responsible” for the implementation and execution of security at the site of the rally where Trump was struck in the ear by a bullet, adding that no assets from the agency were diverted from the rally that day, even though there were other events in the state requiring the agency’s protection. The shooting also left one rally attendee dead and two others in critical condition. Cheatle is facing a flurry of questions about how a gunman was able to get a clear line of sight to Trump at the rally site, and some members of Congress have called for her resignation.

Also on Monday, President Biden will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, two days before Netanyahu will address a joint meeting of Congress. The meeting comes as a ceasefire and hostage deal in the Israel-Hamas war remain stalled and as tensions between Biden and Netanyahu have escalated in recent months as the US has grown increasingly frustrated with Israel’s actions in Gaza.

Wednesday
Netanyahu will address Congress at the invitation of House Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell. Netanyahu’s speech is expected to be met by protests outside the Capitol and in Congress as some lawmakers have vowed to boycott his appearance. In March, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer — the highest-ranking Jewish American in the US government — criticized Netanyahu’s government and called for new elections during a speech on the Senate floor.

Thursday
Comic-Con, the annual celebration of movies, TV and all things pop culture, kicks off in San Diego. Last year’s gathering was scaled back due to forces no superhero could overcome: striking Hollywood actors and writers. Anyone visiting the city this week can expect to encounter squads of Imperial Stormtroopers, multiple Mandalorians, tons of Thors and Jokers aplenty.

TV and streaming
The HBO Original four-part sports documentary series, “Charlie Hustle & The Matter of Pete Rose,” debuts Wednesday.

(HBO, like CNN, is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.)

“The Decameron” arrives on Netflix on Thursday. The eight-episode series, described as “a wine-soaked sex romp in the Italian countryside,” follows a cast of misfits holed up in an opulent villa trying to outlast the bubonic plague pandemic in 14th-century Florence. “The Decameron” features Tony Hale, Zosia Mamet, Saoirse Monica-Jackson, Tanya Reynolds and many others.
