Quick Glance: Historic Vote at Volkswagen Plant in Tennessee
- This week, 4,300 hourly workers at a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, are voting on whether to join the United Auto Workers union.
- The significance of this vote lies in the potential shift in union dynamics in the South, with the UAW launching a strong campaign to penetrate non-union auto factories in the region.
- The outcome of this vote could either significantly strengthen or hinder the union, with the UAW needing a majority of yes votes to win.
- Southern politicians warn of job losses if unionization occurs in the region, while Volkswagen emphasizes respecting employees' right to choose and its substantial investments in the plant.

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
- A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.
- The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.
- Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.
- The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

One family was first in line to see Mark Pope. Their feelings sum up a Kentucky fan base.
kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287674600.html
Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena
- Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.
- Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.
- All of this to greet back a beloved figure.
- "We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."
