Quick Glance: Trump Attacks on Hush Money Judge’s Daughter Due to Fake Account: Court
  • Former President Trump criticized the daughter of hush money trial Judge Juan Merchan, pointing to a social media account that is no longer associated with Loren Merchan, according to a court spokesperson.

  • A spokesperson for the New York state Office of Court Administration (OCA) stated that the account in question was no longer linked to Loren Merchan after she deleted it around a year ago.

  • Trump’s attack on Loren Merchan, a Democratic political consultant, happened on social media. The former president referred to a photo illustration of an imprisoned Trump behind bars, which initially appeared to be the profile photo of Loren Merchan’s account.

  • Trump’s online remarks occurred less than 24 hours after Judge Merchan prohibited the former president from making public comments about witnesses, prosecutors, court staff, or their family members 'if those statements are made with the intent to materially interfere with' the case.

Trump’s Bible grift is going to backfire
Quick Glance: Criticism Mounts Against Trump’s Bible Endeavor
  • Donald Trump could be risking a significant error by promoting the 'God Bless the USA' Bible to his MAGA supporters. There is a chance that some individuals within that group will engage with its content.

  • The current scheme might face a similar fate as Trump Steaks and the unattractive gold-colored 'Never Surrender' sneakers he is attempting to sell for $399. Due to its strategic timing - being launched during Holy Week, the most sacred period in the Christian calendar - the Bible project could face severe backlash in the market.

  • Should MAGA supporters purchase these Bibles and explore their contents, they may discover various reasons to question their deeply flawed political idol.

  • Evangelical voters - along with their pastors, who likely possess detailed knowledge of biblical teachings - have essentially disregarded Jesus' teachings. They highlight Trump's readiness to lead their anti-abortion campaign, even though this is a topic untouched by Jesus.

Quick Glance: Joe Lieberman, Former US Senator and Vice Presidential Candidate, Passes Away at 82
  • Former U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman from Connecticut, who came close to winning the vice presidency on the Democratic ticket with Al Gore in the disputed 2000 election and nearly became running mate to Republican John McCain eight years later, has passed away.

  • Lieberman passed away in New York City as a result of complications following a fall.

  • His advocacy for issues such as gay rights, civil rights, abortion rights, and environmental causes often earned him praise from many liberals, despite causing discontent among Democrats due to his independent stance and provocations towards Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama during the 2008 campaign.

  • Renowned for his firm foreign policy perspectives, pro-defense inclinations, and robust support for environmental matters, Lieberman was instrumental in the legislative efforts leading to the establishment of the Department of Homeland Security.

War on Gaza: State Department official resigns over US support for Israel
Quick Glance: Resignation Due to US Support for Israel
  • A senior official at the State Department resigned in protest against the almost impossible promotion of human rights due to US support for Israel's war in Gaza.

  • Annelle Sheline, aged 38, announced her resignation while still in the middle of her two-year contract with the US Department of State as a foreign affairs officer in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

  • Initially hesitant to publicly announce her resignation, Sheline was encouraged by colleagues opposing US support for Israel's actions in Gaza.

  • These resignations are the latest in a series of public protests against the Biden administration's support for Israel, leading to internal turmoil within the US State Department.
