Quick Glance: Chris Christie Declines No Labels Presidential Bid
- Former New Jersey governor Chris Christie (R) has made the decision not to run as the No Labels candidate for president after extensively evaluating the prospects of a centrist third-party campaign against President Biden and former president Donald Trump.
- During the recent weeks, Christie, along with his team, explored the possibility of joining a No Labels campaign, while No Labels leaders intensified their efforts to court him as a candidate.
- In conclusion, Christie determined that while there is an abstract interest in a third choice in the upcoming election, there is no practical path to victory. The challenges include significant ballot access and legal expenses, a delayed start in fundraising campaign funds, and the risk of diverting votes from Biden to elect Trump as president, according to those involved.
- The No Labels leaders have set a deadline in early April to nominate a presidential ticket, with a clear indication that they will only proceed if they can recruit someone with a feasible chance of winning. Individuals involved with No Labels have informed others in recent weeks that they anticipate Christie will be the nominee, as reported by individuals familiar with the discussions.

Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Texas Immigration Law Intensifies Again
- A federal appeals court issued a ruling late on Tuesday that once more halts Texas from apprehending migrants suspected of unlawfully entering the United States, shortly after the Supreme Court implemented the stringent new immigration law.
- Earlier in the day, a split decision by the Supreme Court granted Texas permission to enforce a statute granting law enforcement extensive authority to detain migrants believed to have illegally crossed the border while the legal conflict regarding the provision unfolds.
- Opponents view the legislation as the most extreme effort by a state to regulate immigration since the passage of an Arizona law over a decade ago, parts of which were invalidated by the Supreme Court.
- The dispute over the immigration statute in Texas is among several legal clashes between Texan officials and the Biden administration concerning the extent to which the state can monitor the Texas-Mexico border and deter unauthorized border crossings.

Quick Glance: Starbucks Fails Labor Law by Banning Pro-Union Buttons, DC Circuit Ruling
- A divided U.S. appeals court panel ruled that the manager of a Seattle Starbucks store violated federal labor law by instructing a barista not to distribute union buttons during her paid breaks.
- The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit stated that while the manager in 2022 specifically warned the worker not to give buttons to customers, her comments could also discourage other workers from distributing union paraphernalia, even among themselves.
- Starbucks spokeswoman expressed disappointment with the ruling, emphasizing that it involves a single store. On a national level, Starbucks continues to focus on supporting managers to ensure respect for partners' rights to organize, freely associate, and engage in other lawful activities.
- Starbucks and Workers United agreed in February to establish a 'framework' to guide organizing and collective bargaining, potentially resolving many pending legal disputes. The union has accused Starbucks of numerous labor law violations, including interrogating and retaliating against union supporters.

nbcnews.com/politics/donald-trump/ny-appeals-court-reduces-trumps-bond-civil-fraud-case-175-million-vict-rcna144659
Quick Glance: Appeals Court Decision Reduces Trump's Bond in Fraud Case
- In the New York civil fraud case, it was determined that Donald Trump and his co-defendants now have 10 days to post a $175 million bond, compared to the original $464 million.
