Smartmatic settles defamation suit against One America News: Voting systems provider Smartmatic has settled a lawsuit it brought after the 2020 election against ...

Quick Glance: OAN and Smartmatic Reach Settlement in Defamation Lawsuit

Voting technology company Smartmatic and the far-right network One America News announced on Tuesday that they have agreed to a confidential settlement of a defamation lawsuit stemming from the outlet's lies about the 2020 presidential elections.

The settlement followed a lawsuit filed by Smartmatic against OAN in 2021, alleging that the right-wing conspiracy network 'victimized' the company and spread lies about its role in the 2020 elections to boost viewership and revenue.

OAN previously settled a defamation suit in September with former Dominion executive Eric Coomer, revealing collaboration with individuals to propagate falsehoods about the elections.

While the Smartmatic case has concluded, OAN still faces another defamation lawsuit from Dominion regarding the dissemination of falsehoods about the 2020 elections.

washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/04/19/trump-new-york-trial-jury-selection-emotional/

Quick Glance: Trump's Hush Money Trial: Opening Statements Scheduled for Monday

The completion of the final jury selection for Donald Trump's hush money trial occurred, with an appellate judge rejecting the former president's latest attempt to stop the case.

The accusation against Trump involves a system to conceal negative stories that could harm his 2016 campaign. Trump has pleaded not guilty, asserting the falsehood of the stories.

Despite prior failed attempts to delay the trial, a lawyer for Trump argued in court that the jury selection was rushed, but the court denied this claim.

Throughout the trial, Trump utilized the prosecution as a political rallying cry, presenting himself as a victim while managing his dual role as both a defendant and a presidential candidate.

California fast food workers stunned as restaurant closes without warning over $20 minimum wage: 'Only the beginning'

foxbusiness.com/economy/california-minimum-wage-shocks-fast-food-workers-restaurant-closes-only-begining-ex-manager-warns

Quick Glance: Comparison: CEO Salaries vs. Minimum Wage in California

Given the new $20 minimum wage for California's fast-food workers, it's important to examine the salaries of their CEOs.

The CEOs of Chipotle and McDonald's Corp. earn substantial amounts while their employees struggle. It is suggested that they reduce their bonuses to pay their workers a living wage instead of passing costs to customers or threatening staff cuts.

Supermarkets are increasing prices, making it challenging for even high earners to afford healthy food. The notion that supermarkets are the primary source for affordable, healthy food is diminishing.

The new $20 minimum wage for fast-food workers is deemed reasonable as their earnings circulate back into the economy to provide food, shelter, and healthcare for many in need.

'No person is above the law': Special counsel tells Supreme Court why Trump should be prosecuted

usatoday.com/story/news/politics/elections/2024/04/08/special-counsel-supreme-court-trump-immunity/73255801007/

Quick Glance: Jack Smith Urges Supreme Court to Reject Trump's Immunity Claim

Special counsel Jack Smith pushed the Supreme Court in a court filing ahead of the April 25 arguments to reject former President Donald Trump's stance that he should be given absolute immunity in the federal election interference case.

Outlined in the 66-page filing were a series of arguments by Smith and his team against Trump's assertion that a president is shielded from criminal prosecution.

Prosecutors contended that there are no presidential authorities that would grant Trump immunity in this instance, and historical evidence discredits Trump's assertions.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Smith in 2022 to probe Trump's alleged involvement in disputing the 2020 presidential election results. The Supreme Court is scheduled to conduct oral arguments on Trump's immunity argument on April 25.

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.
