apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-long-range-missiles-4d2254639eb5a503d8b0a291ed0680e9

Quick Glance: USA Provides Ukraine with Long-Range ATACMS Missiles

The USA delivered short-range ATACMS missiles with extended range to Ukraine to protect the country.

The delivery was discreet, part of an aid package to maintain Ukraine's operational security.

The USA previously provided ATACMS missiles with a range of 165 km last year, now supplying missiles with up to 300 km range.

Germany rejects providing the Taurus missile while the USA offers extensive aid to Ukraine.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

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.

Siblings killed when suspected intoxicated driver crashes into child's birthday party in Michigan

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.

An 8-year-old girl and her 5-year-old brother died in the crash, as a 66-year-old woman drove about 25 feet into the building, according to Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough.

Three children and six adults were taken to hospitals with life-threatening injuries, while others received first aid on site and some were transported by private vehicles.

The driver was taken into custody and is suspected of operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol causing death. Further charges may be pending as the investigation continues.

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.

Tennessee's GOP-controlled Statehouse approved a bill criminalizing adults who help minors receive gender-affirming care without parental consent.

The bill closely resembles language from an anti-abortion trafficking proposal approved by Tennessee Republican lawmakers the day before.

Critics caution about the broad application of the law, ranging from discussing care options with adolescents to aiding in travel to states with looser gender-affirming care restrictions.

Tennessee has enacted more anti-LGBTQ+ laws than any other state since 2015, as identified by the Human Rights Campaign, calling it a staggering assault on their constituents.

The Supreme Court hearing could distort the presidency without immunity and affect decision-making when bold and fearless action is most needed.

The Supreme Court's decision on immunity is expected and could lead to Trump's trial occurring before the election.

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: The Caitlin Clark Impact and the Uncomfortable Truth Behind It

Caitlin Clark deserves every endorsement deal she's offered. Her influence as an influencer is based on several key factors.

Clark’s attractiveness to local companies and national corporations is heightened by the fact that she is a White woman who has dominated a sport that’s viewed as predominately Black; a straight woman who is joining a league with a sizable LGBTQ+ player population; and a person who comes from America’s heartland, where residents often feel their beliefs and values are ignored or disrespected by the geographical edges of the country.

There was a significant disparity in the competition for Caitlin Clark in the end. Nike offered 8 years / $28 million, Adidas 4 years / $6 million, Under Armour 4 years / $16 million, and Puma withdrew after hearing about $3 million.

It is a fact that brand ambassadorship at her level is not simply a commentary on someone’s athletic ability. It’s also a reflection of society’s impact on who gets the biggest bags.

Quick Glance: Court Rejects Trump's Bid for New Trial Against E. Jean Carroll

A federal judge rejected former President Donald Trump’s request for a new trial—or to throw out the $83.3 million defamation ruling—against writer E. Jean Carroll, marking the latest legal loss for the former president.

In the Thursday ruling rejecting the request for a new trial or the judgment to be dismissed, U.S. District Judge Lewis Kaplan said Trump’s argument was “without merit,” made “conspicuously without success” and “defies common sense.”

Robbie Kaplan, Carroll’s lawyer, told Forbes in a statement they are “pleased with though not surprised by” the court’s decision, adding the award was “entirely reasonable” because of Trump’s continued defamation, “hatred and disdain.”

In January, a jury determined Trump had to pay Carroll $83.3 million in damages after she accused him of sexual assault. Previously, another jury found Trump liable for sexual assault in the 1990s and subsequent defamation, ordering him to pay $5 million.

Quick Glance: Trump compares Charlottesville and Israel-Gaza protests

Former President Trump downplayed the significance of the deadly 2017 white nationalist rally in Charlottesville compared to the rising demonstrations on college campuses over the situation in Gaza.

Trump highlighted that President Biden frequently cites the Charlottesville rally and Trump’s response as a reason for his White House candidacy in 2020.

Trump’s remarks coincided with college campus protests concerning the Israel-Hamas conflict, resulting in numerous Palestinian casualties in Gaza.

Biden has denounced antisemitism in the protests while also criticizing those who fail to grasp the situation with the Palestinians.

Quick Glance: South Korea Warns of Collapse of US Subsidies Due to Chinese EV Supply Chain Dominance

China’s grip on the EV supply chain threatens US subsidies, warns South Korea.

South Korea warns that China’s control over a crucial battery material will make it nearly impossible for any electric vehicle makers to qualify for President Joe Biden's subsidy scheme.

The United States announced last week that they will provide up to $6.4 billion in federal subsidies to the South Korean technology giant Samsung Electronics, investing $40 billion in its Texas facilities for cutting-edge logic chips, advanced packaging, and next-generation chip technology research and development.
