U.S. Economic Growth Slows to 1.6%: U.S. economic growth slowed in the first part of the year, falling short of economists’ expectations.

on.wsj.com/3UypAig

Quick Glance: Disappointing Q1 Economic Growth and Implications

The U.S. GDP grew at a rate of 1.6% in the first quarter, falling below expectations due to slower inventory replenishment and weak export growth.

Despite the disappointing growth last quarter, this could potentially alter the views of Fed officials who were not keen on cutting rates following an upsurge in consumer prices.

Some analysts believe that the weaker-than-expected report indicates the beginning of a broader economic slowdown.

The report also highlights the performance of other sectors of the economy, such as the surge in housing construction, business investment growth, slower government spending, and the impact of trade on economic growth.

Quick Glance: Biden signs Comprehensive Military Aid Package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan

President Biden announces the signing of a substantial $95 billion military assistance package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan, with a significant portion of the funds directed towards Ukraine.

Despite initial resistance from Republicans in Congress, Biden has signed the aid package, highlighting the reinforcement of allies and ensuring prompt deliveries to Ukraine.

The assistance for Ukraine includes weapons and military equipment valued at around $1 billion, encompassing artillery shells and air defense missiles.

Military analysts do not foresee significant changes on the frontlines in eastern Ukraine, while the US support aims to aid Ukraine in operations in southern Ukraine, particularly focusing on Crimea and the Black Sea.

apnews.com/article/jobs-employers-noncompete-agreements-economy-pay-4d7b3eb8e143cfd52025c7f2f5259fc4

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.

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.

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: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Former 'Rust' movie armorer, Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, was sentenced to 18 months in prison by the New Mexico District Court Judge.

The incident that shocked the film industry is believed to mark the first instance in recent history of a member of a film crew or cast being fatally injured by a live round mistakenly loaded into a firearm.

Baldwin's trial is scheduled for July 10 following his indictment for involuntary manslaughter in January.

Initially, Hutchins' death led to a halt in the use of real firearms and blank ammunition by US film and television productions, but many have resumed usage due to the authenticity they provide.

Federal judge rejects Trump’s latest bid to drop $83.3M E. Jean Carroll defamation ruling

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: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba

Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.
