Quick Glance: German Exit from Nuclear Energy: Ideology Over Pragmatism
- During an energy crisis, green ministries in Germany pushed through the nuclear energy phaseout, disregarding warnings and prioritizing ideological goals over energy security.
- Internal communications reveal that high-ranking green officials ignored and twisted facts to advance the nuclear phaseout, even if it raised safety concerns.
- The origins of the energy transition were not primarily focused on climate change but aimed to eliminate nuclear energy and transition to renewables and coal.
- The decommissioned nuclear power plants now serve as monuments to a green misstep that led Germany into an energy policy tragedy, potentially hindering the construction of new nuclear power plants.

Quick Glance: Fact Check: Biden Repeats Claim of Arrest for Defending Civil Rights. Still No Evidence
- President Joe Biden reiterated his story of allegedly trying to defend the civil rights of Black Americans on 'The Howard Stern Show.' However, there is no evidence to support his claim of ever being arrested at a civil rights protest, as noted by 'The Washington Post' and 'PolitiFact.'
- Biden has told the story of his supposed presence at a specific protest in Delaware at least twice without mentioning an arrest. He stated that the police simply took him home on that day.
- It is impossible to prove definitively whether Biden was present at this or a similar protest over 60 years ago. He has also made other false claims about his personal life in the past.
- Biden falsely claimed to have 'driven an 18-wheeler' and that he never earned $400,000 in a year. During his 2020 presidential campaign, he claimed to have been 'arrested' as a US senator while trying to visit South African anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela in prison, which turned out to be untrue.

nytimes.com/2024/04/26/opinion/trump-immunity-founding-fathers.html
Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.
- The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.
- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.

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.

- This Broadway musical adaptation presents the Jazz Age in a lively manner, but overlooks the tragic essence of Fitzgerald’s 1925 novel.
