MTG says NYC earthquake is God telling Americans to 'repent'
Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
  • An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.

  • While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.

  • Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.

  • President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

U.S. to hit Iran with fresh sanctions after Israel attack
Quick Glance: Yellen warns of further sanctions in response to Iran's increasing activities
  • Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned of potential global economic damage from rising tensions in the Middle East and pledged that the U.S. and its allies won't hesitate to use their sanctions powers to address Iran's 'malign and destabilizing activity' in the region.

  • The fast-rising tensions between Iran and Israel and the potential implications of escalation on the global economy are at the forefront of the spring meetings of the International Monetary Fund and World Bank.

  • Yellen announced additional sanctions actions against Iran in the coming days and expressed support for liquidating roughly $300 billion in frozen Russian Central Bank assets for Ukraine's reconstruction.

  • Another major focus of this year's meetings will be Chinese industrial policy, which Yellen believes poses a threat to U.S. jobs and the global economy. She plans to meet with Chinese counterparts to identify potential areas of cooperation and address concerns.

Quick Glance: Taxpayers Beware: Avoid 'Surprise' Fees
  • Taxpayers may face 'surprise fees' if their tax refund from the previous year was too high.

  • The IRS warned today that taxpayers could face a harsh hit to their wallets if they do not use the IRS Tax Withholding Estimator.

  • The IRS recommends reviewing the withholding estimator annually, especially after significant life events.

  • Not withholding the right amount from your income could become a growing issue as the IRS has increased many tax brackets and deductions by over 5 percent.
