Quick Glance: George Santos ends independent bid for US House seat

Following his expulsion from Congress after a bipartisan vote on December 1, George Santos, a Republican representative from New York, is seen leaving the U.S. Capitol. On Tuesday, Santos announced his decision to withdraw his independent candidacy for New York's 1st Congressional District.

In order to prevent a split in the Republican ticket between himself and the incumbent Republican candidate, Nick LaLota, in case he secures the Republican nomination after the New York primary on June 25, Santos opted out of an independent run, as reported by Politico.

Nancy Goroff and John Avlon are currently competing for the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat during the New York primary.

Despite concluding his independent candidacy, Santos hinted at a possible future congressional run. He expressed, 'The future holds countless possibilities, and I am prepared, eager, and capable to step up and fight for my country at any time.'

Congress approves bill banning TikTok unless Chinese owner ByteDance sells platform

ft.com/content/d84df824-19c0-4105-ae95-816dd0618efb

Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?

Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.

The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.

Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.

Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.

Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Truth Social owner Trump Media asks Congress to investigate ‘troubling’ market manipulation claims

Quick Glance: Trump Media Seeks Congressional Probe on 'Troubling' Market Manipulation Claims

Trump Media & Technology Group is asking Congress to investigate suspicions of illegal activity affecting its stock price.

In a disclosed letter, Devin Nunes, the CEO of Truth Social owner Trump Media, urged GOP Chairmen of relevant House Committees to examine the 'urgent matter' of 'potential manipulation' of the company's stock price.

Trump Media recently reported a $58 million loss in 2023 with minimal revenue. The company's price-to-sales ratio, a common stock valuation method, is notably high compared to competitors in the social media sector.

In the communication to Congress, Trump Media highlighted that data suggests 'just four market participants' accounted for over 60% of the exceptional trading volume in the company's stock: Citadel Securities, Virtu Americas, G1 Execution Services, and Jane Street Capital.

Marjorie Taylor Greene mocked by fellow lawmaker's extreme Ukraine aid bill amendments

kyivindependent.com/marjorie-taylor-greene/

Quick Glance: GOP Congresswoman Propagates Russian Narratives Against Ukraine Aid

Republican Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced amendments to the latest bill on aid to Ukraine, echoing Russian propaganda narratives about "biolabs in Ukraine" and "persecution of Christians in Ukraine."

Greene proposed halting funding for Ukraine's aid until free and fair elections are held, persecution of Christians stops, and all biolabs in Ukraine are closed.

The allegation of secret "biolabs" in Ukraine is a long-standing Russian propaganda conspiracy theory, also picked up by Chinese disinformation networks according to the EU East Stratcom Task Force.

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced determination to advance the foreign aid bill on April 20, despite opposition from GOP hardliners who have blocked progress for over six months.

TikTok plans to take legal action against the Biden administration, citing concerns that the law could impede the free speech of millions of Americans.

This requirement was incorporated into a bill providing foreign aid for Israel, Ukraine, and Taiwan, mandating ByteDance to sell its stake in TikTok within 12 months under the threat of closure.

Supreme Court skeptical of feds’ use of obstruction statute in Jan. 6 prosecutions

Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter

The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Mike Turner, a Republican representative, accused some of his colleagues of spreading Russian propaganda 'on the House floor' amid Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.

Turner's comments align with an earlier assertion by another Republican and chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Michael McCaul, who mentioned that Russian propaganda has infiltrated the United States and affected a significant portion of his party's base.

McCaul attributed the dissemination of Russian propaganda to conservative media outlets, including 'nighttime entertainment shows' that echo talking points used by Russian state media.

Ukraine currently has three Patriot air defense systems but requires 26 for full coverage. Following appeals for more systems, Germany pledged to send an additional one.

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.

Justice Department won’t give Republicans audio tapes of Biden’s interview with special counsel

Quick Glance: Justice Dept. refuses to provide Biden-Hur audio recordings to House committee

Justice Department officials informed House Republicans that they do not plan to give audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents.

The decision was made as lawmakers already possess transcripts of the interviews, indicating that the request may be more about politics than seeking genuine information.

Special counsel Hur found evidence that Biden retained classified government materials after leaving the vice presidency, but concluded that there was insufficient proof to pursue criminal charges.

Republican lawmakers have threatened to hold the Attorney General in contempt if the recordings are not handed over, raising concerns about potential implications on future investigations.
