Quick Glance: Yankees' Aaron Boone Ejected for Fan-Heckling of MLB Umpire in Unusual Incident: 'I Don't Care Who Said It'
- Yankees manager Aaron Boone was ejected early in the game against the A's at Yankee Stadium after a fan yelled something. This marked his 35th career ejection, with a rather unusual reason this time.
- Umpire Hunter Wendelstedt warned Boone of an ejection after just five pitches if another word was said. A fan behind the dugout shouted something, leading Wendelstedt to toss Boone out of the game.
- Boone's reactions, including pointing to the crowd, were captured on video. In one clip, Boone can be heard denying he said anything. Despite Wendelstedt's error in judgment, the ejection stood, making for a highly entertaining situation.
- Although Wendelstedt misinterpreted the situation and Boone was innocent, the ejection remained. Nevertheless, the whole incident was incredibly entertaining, and Boone's 35 ejections in a short span of time is quite an impressive feat.

Quick Glance: Congress Approves Potential TikTok Ban: What's Next?
- Congress has passed a law that could result in a nationwide TikTok ban. President Biden is expected to sign the bill, forcing TikTok to find a new owner or be banned from the US.
- The law gives TikTok's Chinese parent company 270 days to sell the app. Biden could extend the deadline by 90 days. The law was attached to a foreign aid package to expedite its passage.
- Since Biden has supported the law, he is likely to sign it. TikTok has vowed to take the government to court if the bill is signed.
- Experts suggest that a TikTok ban could violate free speech rights. A court challenge could temporarily block the law, but TikTok would need to comply if no injunction is granted.

Quick Glance: UNRWA Report Highlights Lack of Evidence for Israel's Employee Militancy Claims
- An independent review commissioned by the United Nations found that Israel has not provided evidence to support its accusation that a 'significant' number of employees of the U.N. relief agency for Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip are members of terrorist organizations.

- Concerns were raised regarding the screening of UNRWA employees and the content of textbooks, while Israel has yet to provide evidence to support the claim that a significant number of UNRWA employees are members of terrorist organizations.
