Joe Biden signs the bill that could ban TikTok in the United States: The bill that will force a sale or ban of TikTok in the United States is now law.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Quick Glance: Hush Money Trial: Trump's Silent Encounter with Insults

Donald Trump has been forced to listen to potential jurors in his criminal hush money trial in New York openly criticize him.

Transitioning from a life of adulation to facing critics, Trump now experiences a different reality without the control he's accustomed to.

Previously shielded from critique, Trump now faces a trial with potential felony convictions and will have to endure listening to more criticism.

Potential jurors exhibited a range of opinions towards Trump, from admiration for his business acumen to open criticism of his persona and rhetoric.

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.

Quick Glance: Japan to Gift Washington 250 New Cherry Trees

Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced that Japan will gift the United States 250 new cherry trees to replace the ones being removed.

In 1912, the first lady Helen Herron Taft and Viscountess Chinda planted the original cherry trees, symbolizing the friendship between the two countries.

The cherry tree gift signifies the strong alliance between the U.S. and Japan as they discuss Pacific security matters.

The Tidal Basin, a reservoir in Washington with a high concentration of cherry blossom trees, is undergoing renovations, prompting Japan to offer new saplings.

Here's the new plan to boost background checks for guns bought at shows or online

npr.org/2024/04/11/1244007539/biden-guns-background-check-rule

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers

A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.
