- Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.
- The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

Quick Glance: 28 Years Later: Cast Revealed with Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and Ralph Fiennes
- Sony Pictures' work on 28 Years Later is progressing, as Ralph Fiennes, Jodie Comer, and Aaron Taylor-Johnson have all signed up to join Danny Boyle and Alex Garland’s post-apocalyptic follow-up, according to Deadline.
- The three stars are now attached to the first of a planned three-movie run for the franchise. Details about their roles remain undisclosed at this time.
- Fiennes, Comer, and Taylor-Johnson each possess enough star power to carry their own films. Fiennes is best known for his roles in The Grand Budapest Hotel and Schindler’s List, but also made a name for himself as an intimidating head chef and as Lord Voldemort in Harry Potter movies. Taylor-Johnson has appeared in numerous superhero films and is allegedly a top candidate to take on James Bond. Comer has a significant presence in Killing Eve and has also been in Ridley Scott’s The Last Duel and Ryan Reynolds-led Free Guy.
- 28 Years Later aims to bring the three stars together to narrate a story penned by Garland and directed by Boyle. However, the trio is only committed to the initial installment, leaving their return for future films uncertain. A second film in what could be a 28 Years Later trilogy is already confirmed, with Nia DaCosta as the favored choice to direct. The filming plan involves shooting both movies consecutively.

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll
- A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.
- In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”
- Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”
- In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.
