Quick Glance: Boeing Whistleblower Calls for Grounding All 787 Dreamliners
- A whistleblower from Boeing is pressing for the grounding of all 787 Dreamliners currently in operation worldwide, as the long-haul aircraft could potentially 'fall apart' at the joints.
- Sam Salehpour, a quality engineer at Boeing, publicly expressed concerns about the Boeing 787 and 777 jets last week. In an exclusive TV interview with NBC Nightly News, Salehpour reiterated his allegations and called for all Dreamliners to be taken out of service and inspected for small gaps in the fuselage.
- He alleges that Boeing opted for cost-saving shortcuts and reduced assembly bottlenecks during the construction of the 787 and 777 jets. Salehpour warns that the fuselage sections of the 787 Dreamliner are improperly connected, with small gaps present at the joints.
- Following internal discussions with Boeing where he claimed aircraft safety was compromised, the engineer filed a formal whistleblower complaint with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) in January. Boeing, however, maintains confidence in the safety of the 787 Dreamliner, stating that the allegations 'are inaccurate and do not represent the comprehensive work Boeing has done to ensure the quality and long-term safety of the aircraft.'

Quick Glance: Investigation into Gifts to Supreme Court Justices: Leo Refuses Senate Subpoena
- As part of a months-long inquiry into undisclosed gifts to Supreme Court justices, the Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to conservative judicial activist Leonard Leo on Thursday, which he promptly rejected as “politically motivated.”
- Following reports that Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel A. Alito Jr. accepted free luxury travel and gifts from Crow, Leo, and conservative donor Robin Arkley II without disclosure, the committee voted to authorize subpoenas for Leo and Texas billionaire Harlan Crow along party lines.
- Democrats on the committee initiated an investigation into the justices' relationships with private benefactors after ProPublica's April report last year revealed Thomas' failure to disclose free luxury vacations and private jet travel from Crow over many years, and Leo's arrangement of a luxury fishing trip for Alito in 2008.
- With Leo's rejection, Democrats would need to hold a Senate vote to seek court enforcement of the subpoena - a nearly impossible task in a narrowly divided chamber requiring 60 votes to break a filibuster.

- They opted to provide a sophisticated supplement to network nightly news, focusing on a single issue each night with interviews from experts.
- Despite facing criticism for being dull and elitist, the program garnered a loyal audience and expanded to become the country's first national, hour-long nightly news broadcast in 1983.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
- The Senate rejected the impeachment charges against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, halting the House Republicans' effort to impeach the Cabinet secretary over his management of the US-Mexico border.
- With Democrats contending that the articles were unconstitutional, senators voted to dismiss both impeachment charges and conclude the trial.
- Senate Republicans had called for a full impeachment trial after the House narrowly voted in February to impeach Mayorkas for his border actions.
- Republicans argued that President Joe Biden was ineffective at the border, while Democrats suggested accepting a bipartisan Senate compromise instead of impeaching Mayorkas to reduce illegal immigrants.

ft.com/content/85a4e5b9-c536-4bfb-8dee-32bbed60311e
Quick Glance: US to Reinstate Sanctions on Venezuela’s Oil and Gas Sector
- The United States will reimpose sanctions on Venezuela’s oil and gas sector due to the Maduro government's failure to allow 'an inclusive and competitive election' to take place.
- The US government decided not to renew the temporary authorization (General License 44) that allowed transactions with Venezuela's national oil and gas sector without fear of sanctions, citing the Maduro government's failure to uphold key areas of the 'Barbados Agreement.'
- While the impact of revoking the authorization could not be quantified, another authorization from 2022 allowing the oil company Chevron to resume limited resource extraction operations in Venezuela will remain in place.
- Despite reinstating sanctions, a US official emphasized that this should not be seen as a final decision on Venezuela's electoral capabilities, and efforts to support a better future for the country will continue.
