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.'

Quick Glance: Implications of a TikTok Ban on China's Technology Plans and Global Digital Divide

TikTok is at a critical juncture in America as its Chinese owner must complete the sale of the app within a year to avoid a ban in its largest market.

The potential TikTok ban would not only greatly weaken China's technology ambitions but also deepen the divide between the digital worlds of rival economic superpowers.

The potential enforcement of a TikTok ban could expedite a transformation that divides the world's technological landscape into two factions, one around the US and the other around technologies from China.

Chinese companies and apps operating in the US are encountering increasing challenges as the US government implements measures to restrict the access of Chinese companies to the market.

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.

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.
