All eyes are on Atlanta tonight for the first presidential debate of 2024. President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump will be on stage at the CNN Studios for the first of two-currently-planned major debates ahead of this November's election. The 90-minute event will begin at 9 Eastern tonight.       A new poll of likely voters reports former President Trump is beating President Biden by four-points. The New York Times/Siena College found that 48-percent of likely voters said they'd vote for Trump in a hypothetical matchup between him and Biden. Meanwhile, 44-percent said they'd vote for Biden.       Boeing is getting sanctioned for disclosing information on the investigation into the 737 Max that experienced a door panel blowout in January. The National Transportation Safety Board said today that Boeing on Tuesday shared information that hadn't been cleared, violating an agreement with the regulator. The agency also said that Boeing mischaracterized the investigation as looking for a person responsible for the door panel, when instead it's looking for the probable cause of the accident.       The Supreme Court is blocking Purdue Pharma's opioid settlement. It ruled today the settlement inappropriately included legal protections for the Sackler family, the owners of Purdue. But that also threatens billions of dollars it secured for victims. As part of the deal, the Sackler family agreed to pay six-billion-dollars to settle opioid-related claims, but only in return for a complete release from any future liability.       The typical new home built in the US today is markedly smaller than those built a decade ago. According to The National Association of Home Builders, the typical buyer today wants a home that is just over two-thousand-square-feet. New homes have been shrinking since 2015 when the average home size peaked at 26-hundred square-feet. Whether as a reaction to high prices or because they simply want a smaller space, experts say homebuyers today are asking for smaller homes.       Simone Biles is working to secure her spot in her third Olympic Games. U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials begin this week in Minneapolis. Biles is among 16 women and 20 men trying to book their spot in Paris.
