Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Sibling Fatally Hit by Car at Birthday Party

A young brother and sister died, and several people were injured, some seriously, when a vehicle driven by a suspected drunken driver crashed into a young child's birthday party at a boat club in Berlin Township, Michigan, on Saturday.

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.

The Palestinian delegation emphasized that UN membership is a crucial step for peace in the region and criticized the Israeli government for its rejection.

Israel rejected the resolution and warned of its potential impact on future dialogues, especially in light of the recent escalation of violence in Gaza.

New York appeals court overturns Harvey Weinstein’s 2020 rape conviction from landmark #MeToo trial

apnews.com/article/weinstein-metoo-appeal-ed29faeec862abf0c071e8bd3574c4a3

Quick Glance: New York Overturns Harvey Weinstein's 2020 Rape Conviction

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, citing prejudicial rulings by the judge in the landmark #MeToo trial.

The State Court of Appeals ruling reopens a painful chapter in America's reckoning with sexual misconduct by powerful figures, ordering a new trial where his accusers might have to relive their traumas.

Weinstein, 72, has been serving a 23-year sentence in a New York prison following his conviction, but will remain imprisoned due to another rape conviction in Los Angeles in 2022.

This decision marks another setback for #MeToo, following the US Supreme Court's refusal to hear an appeal in the Bill Cosby case, where his sexual assault conviction was overturned by a Pennsylvania court.

Who could buy TikTok?: The clock has begun ticking for TikTok to find a new owner.

Quick Glance: Potential Buyers for TikTok Revealed

The clock is ticking for TikTok to find a new owner. President Joe Biden signed a law that could ban TikTok in the US unless ByteDance sells the app. Possible buyers range from tech companies to retailers and investment bankers.

Established tech giants like Meta or Google are unlikely buyers due to antitrust hurdles. Large companies with deep pockets face regulatory skepticism, although they could have the resources to purchase TikTok.

Microsoft, which has shown interest in TikTok in the past, may have another opportunity after successfully navigating antitrust scrutiny with the Activision Blizzard deal. Oracle and former US government officials like Steven Mnuchin are also potential buyers.

Mnuchin has announced assembling a team of investors to acquire TikTok. His offer, however, might exclude TikTok's algorithm, sparking controversial discussions. Other potential buyers like Kevin O'Leary are also considering acquiring TikTok, with O'Leary suggesting an initial bid between $20 and $30 billion.

Quick Glance: Giuliani, 17 Others Indicted in Arizona for Fake Elector Scheme; Trump Named Co-Conspirator

Rudy Giuliani, a former lawyer for Donald Trump, is among 18 individuals indicted in Arizona for allegedly illegally attempting to claim the state's 2020 electoral votes for the former US president, with Trump identified as an unindicted co-conspirator.

The indictment in Maricopa County Superior Court lists 11 defendants and redacts the names of seven others. Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes stated that these names would be disclosed after serving all defendants with the indictment.

The indictment alleges that the defendants pressured state officials to change election results, including fraud, forgery, and conspiracy, carrying potential sentences ranging from six months to over 12 years upon conviction.

Several individuals posing as electors for Trump have been charged in Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada. The fake elector scheme is also a focal point in the federal case against Trump led by Special Counsel Jack Smith.

Quick Glance: Supreme Court to Decide on Donald Trump's Prosecution Immunity

Donald Trump argues before the Supreme Court that as a former President, he is largely immune from prosecution. The decision will impact the speed at which Trump faces trial in Washington, D.C.

At the heart of the matter is whether a former President enjoys immunity from criminal prosecution. Trump's team contends his actions were official acts shielded from prosecution, while prosecutors argue against immunity.

Legal experts anticipate Trump's likely defeat at the Supreme Court. The outcome could also affect his other ongoing trials.

With a 6-3 conservative majority, the Court has various options, including affirming Trump's immunity claim, setting a precedent, or remanding the case for further review by the D.C. judge.

Jodie Comer, Aaron Taylor-Johnson & Ralph Fiennes To Star In ‘28 Years Later’ For Danny Boyle And Sony Pictures

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: Menlo Park Gas Station Charges $7.09 Per Gallon for Regular

A gas station on the Peninsula is causing extreme price shocks for drivers. The Chevron station in Menlo Park is charging $7.09 per gallon for regular, $7.45 for plus, and $7.69 for supreme. This is at least a dollar higher than neighboring stations and well above the California average of $5.42.

According to AAA, gas stations set their own prices, and it depends on when they purchase their gas. If they buy their gas wholesale when oil prices are high, they need to sell it at that price to make a profit.

AAA Northern California spokesperson John Treanor mentioned that gas prices have been elevated recently due to increased demand in spring, higher costs of the summer blend, and rising crude oil prices influenced by Middle East turmoil.

AAA states that gas prices are expected to stabilize at this point.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

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.'
