Quick Glance: A Swift Tech-Stock Bubble and Burst in Three Weeks

The value proposition of buying shares of Truth Social's parent company revolves around Donald Trump's ability to make you wealthy, a unique focus.

Trump's history of promising financial gains extends to the realm of Truth Social stock, which currently presents a stark contrast.

The current trajectory of Trump's stock value compared to its initial rise creates a tech-stock bubble phenomenon.

Examining what Truth Social offers without the Trump factor reveals its foundation as a social network built on Mastodon, lacking technical uniqueness.

Fifteen members of the Kennedy political dynasty backed U.S. President Joe Biden at an event in Philadelphia, distancing themselves from Robert F. Kennedy Jr's independent candidacy.

Biden, a Democrat, faces a rematch with Republican Donald Trump in November, with concerns arising over potential spoiler effects from Kennedy's candidacy as a prominent anti-vaccine activist.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr, son of the late U.S. senator and presidential candidate, garners 15% voter support, contrasting with Biden's 39% and Trump's 38% in a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll.

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.

A $60 billion aid package for Ukraine is stalled in the US Congress, allowing Russia to exploit ammunition and air defense shortages and gain ground in the east.

Exclusive: Poland focusing on EU recovery grants, law change to ramp up investments

reuters.com/world/europe/poland-focusing-eu-recovery-grants-law-change-ramp-up-investments-2024-04-15/

Quick Glance: Poland's Strategy for EU Recovery Grants and Law Change to Boost Investments

With a little over two years left to spend European Union recovery money, Poland is firmly focusing on maximizing the smaller grants portion of the program, while viewing cheap loans as a secondary component.

Poland is expected to receive 6 billion euros from recovery funds on Monday, and Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government is revising the national reconstruction plan to list projects and reforms aimed for approval by Brussels this month.

To expedite investments, the Polish government is also working on amending existing laws to avoid converting all incoming euro-denominated funds into Polish zlotys, with a decision expected either this month or next.

However, some economists caution that investor optimism regarding the inflow of funds may be excessive, especially with the upcoming Polish presidential elections next year potentially impacting the implementation of necessary reforms to ensure the continuous flow of funds.

Quick Glance: Trump campaign expects $50 million haul at fundraiser

Former President Trump is expected to rake in approximately $50 million at a fundraising event in Palm Beach, Florida, on Saturday night, under the leadership of hedge fund billionaire John Paulson. This amount would double what three Democratic presidents recently raised for President Biden’s reelection campaign war chest.

The expected sum would double the amount raised by Biden's campaign at a fundraiser in New York City last week.

The event will help support Trump's campaign, the Republican National Committee (RNC), his Save America PAC, and state GOP parties under their joint fundraising agreement.

Trump and the RNC announced that they raised more than $65.6 million last month and entered April with over $91.3 million in cash. The Biden campaign's fundraising arm was also active in March, revealing a $90 million haul for the month and starting the second quarter with $192 million in cash on hand.

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Trump's Request to Delay Hush-Money Trial

Manhattan Judge Juan M. Merchan rejected Donald Trump's request to postpone his hush-money criminal trial until the Supreme Court rules on presidential immunity claims in another case.

Trump's lawyers sought to adjourn the New York trial indefinitely until his immunity claim in the Washington, D.C., election interference case is resolved.

The primary allegation in the hush-money case is that Trump falsified his company's internal records to conceal payments to his former lawyer Michael Cohen.

Trump and his lawyers have been pushing for more delays, raising concerns about the judge's impartiality and attempting to make the case about the 2016 election, while prosecutors argue against postponing the trial.

Quick Glance: Biden to Expand 2 California National Monuments

President Joe Biden plans to increase the size of two national monuments in California - one located in a mountainous wilderness area east of Los Angeles and the other featuring tree-covered rolling hillsides north of Napa - in the upcoming weeks, as per two informed sources.

The boundaries of the San Gabriel Mountains National Monument are set to be enlarged by approximately 110,000 acres and those of the Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monument by around 13,000 acres, according to information provided by a source.

The revised boundaries of the California monuments will serve various purposes, such as safeguarding sacred sites for Native American tribes, preserving land, and enhancing public access to the outdoors.

Quick Glance: Contemplating Prosecution Cessation for Wikileaks Founder Julian Assange

President Joe Biden is contemplating Australia's request to cease the long-standing U.S. effort to prosecute Wikileaks founder Julian Assange for revealing American classified documents.

There is a disparity in the treatment of Assange and Manning, with Obama shortening Manning's sentence while Assange remains under indictment. Supporters of Assange argue he is a journalist protected by the First Amendment who exposed U.S. military misconduct in Iraq and Afghanistan.
