'Very scary territory': Libertarian Party president fears what Harris could do to American Dream
==========

A survey by the Rainey Center found only 9% of American voters believe the American Dream is more attainable today; 66% feel it has become less attainable over the last decade. Angela McArdle, president of the Libertarian Party, expressed concern about economic mobility under Kamala Harris, suggesting her policies could further erode individual liberties and property rights. McArdle believes younger Americans are particularly pessimistic about achieving the American Dream due to declining purchasing power.

FBI director warns of jihadist attack in US, similar to Russian concert hall: 'Heightened terrorist threat'
==========

FBI Director Christopher Wray warns of increasing concerns over a potential coordinated jihadist attack in the US, similar to the ISIS-K attack on a concert hall in Russia in March. Wray met with a Senate subcommittee to request $11.3 billion in funding for FY25 to continue protecting America from terrorism. He highlighted the rise in threats from foreign terrorists and the potential for a coordinated attack on US soil. Wray also mentioned the elevated threat to the Jewish community in the US and the increase in hate crimes targeting them. He emphasized the need for funding to maintain the FBI's ability to detect and prevent terrorist attacks. If the budget is cut, the FBI would not be able to fill about 1,000 positions, leading to a significant concern in a heightened terrorist threat environment. Terrorism, including both foreign and domestic terrorism, remains the FBI's number one priority.

Missouri AG demands Kansas City records from Harrison Butker doxing post
==========

Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey is demanding records and documents from the city of Kansas City related to a social media post that revealed the residence of Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker. The post, made by the city's social media account, was seen as an act of retaliation against Butker for his religious beliefs. Bailey argues that the post violated Butker's constitutional freedoms and the Missouri Human Rights Act. Butker had faced backlash after giving a commencement speech at a Catholic school, where he expressed his religious beliefs. Bailey is investigating the city's social media posts and called for those involved to be fired. The mayor's office has apologized for the post and is reviewing account access. Butker's speech has been criticized as misogynistic and homophobic.

Argentina's Milei shuts up critics with miracle turnaround of economy, strong security policies
==========

Javier Milei, the President of Argentina, has surprised his critics with a successful turnaround of the economy and strong security policies. Milei, who was elected in November last year, has implemented policy changes that have led to a fiscal surplus, reduced inflation, and stabilized the currency. His focus on cutting spending and deregulation has been effective in reviving the economy. While Milei has not fulfilled all of his campaign promises, such as dollarizing the economy, his policies remain libertarian. He has also prioritized national security and rejected an invitation to join the China and Russia-led economic bloc BRICS. Milei's government has been working to neutralize external agitators, particularly those connected to Russian disinformation networks. Overall, Milei's presidency has been characterized by a commitment to free market principles and a focus on economic and national security.

UN revises Gaza death toll, almost 50% less women and children killed than previously reported
==========

The United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) has revised its data on the number of Palestinian casualties in the Gaza war, reducing the number of women and children killed by almost 50%. The previous report claimed that 9,500 women and 14,500 children had been killed, but the revised numbers show that 4,959 women and 7,797 children have been killed so far. The sudden change in numbers is alarming, as the figures from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health in Gaza have been widely quoted by the international media, humanitarian organizations, and world leaders, including President Biden. Israel disputes these figures and claims that more than a third of those killed are combatants. The UN admits that it relies on figures from the Ministry of Health in Gaza and is unable to independently verify the numbers. The Israeli government has criticized the UN for parroting Hamas propaganda without verification. The UN's revision of the death toll indicates that even Hamas-controlled sources have begun admitting that their numbers are based on incomplete data. Israel has taken steps to prevent casualties and mitigate harm to civilians during the conflict, including warning individuals of forthcoming airstrikes and sharing maps of military maneuvers. President Biden threatened to halt some armaments deliveries to Israel if it launches a full-scale military offensive in the city of Rafah. Israel believes that most of Hamas' top leadership is hiding in Rafah, and it is essential to wipe out the remaining Hamas battalions and end the war.

Over 40% of Americans see China as an enemy, a Pew report shows. That's a five-year high
==========

More than 40% of Americans now label China as an enemy, reaching the highest level in five years, according to a Pew Research Center survey. Around 8 in 10 Americans have an unfavorable view of China. Half of Americans think of China as a competitor, and only 6% consider the country a partner. The survey was conducted from April 1-7, 2024, with a sample of 3,600 U.S. adults. The share of Americans considering China as an enemy is higher among Republicans and Republican-leaning independents. Older Americans, conservative Republicans, and those with a negative view of the U.S. economy are more critical of China and more likely to consider the country an enemy.

Biden admin advances review of Nevada lithium mine despite concerns over endangered wildflower
==========

The Biden administration has initiated an expedited environmental review for the Rhyolite Ridge mine in Nevada, which could become the third lithium mine in the U.S. Environmentalists argue that the mine violates the Endangered Species Act and threatens the survival of an endangered wildflower. Nevada currently hosts the only existing lithium mine in the U.S., with another under construction. The Bureau of Land Management released a draft environmental impact statement for the mine, which is a key component of President Joe Biden's 'green energy' agenda. Conservationists plan to challenge the mine's approval. The mine project has been adjusted to reduce destruction of critical habitat for the endangered wildflower. The Biden administration's review of the mine has been criticized for being rushed. The draft environmental impact statement presents three different options for the project, including a 'no-action alternative.' The preferred option anticipates the destruction of about 22% of the wildflower's habitat, down from an earlier estimate of 38%. Environmentalists argue that any destruction of the critical habitat is unacceptable.

Columbia president called terrorism a ‘form of protesting’ 2 months after 9/11; condemns terrorism 'full stop'
==========

Columbia University President Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik is facing scrutiny over remarks made in a video from two months after 9/11, where she discussed the economic roots of terrorism. Shafik argued that terrorism arises in countries with economic stagnation and political authoritarianism. However, a university spokesperson clarified that Shafik unequivocally condemns terrorism. Shafik is currently facing calls to step down amid protests against Israel and the spread of antisemitism on campus. Last week, over 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators were arrested at Columbia University. Shafik expressed sadness over the actions of agitators and the strain it has put on the campus community. U.S. House Republicans from New York have urged Shafik to resign, accusing her of failing to provide a safe learning environment. The video was first discovered by The Daily Wire's Brent Scher.

Biden says inflation is top domestic priority, but Fed admits lack of progress
==========

Federal Reserve chairman Jerome Powell admitted that President Biden's administration has failed to shrink inflation, years after Biden declared it a "top priority." Powell's comments come just over two years after Biden declared combating inflation to be his administration's "top priority" in his 2022 State of the Union address. Inflation and the economy remain a top issue for voters going into the 2024 elections, with most polls showing it is the number two topic for most Americans, just behind immigration.

Here are the massive tax increases coming your way in a second Biden term
==========

President Biden plans to implement a $5 trillion tax increase, including a corporate tax hike, capital gains and dividends tax hike, income tax hikes, energy tax hikes, and a second Death Tax. The corporate income tax would increase from 21% to 28%, making it higher than China, France, and the UK. Biden also plans to increase the tax on Subchapter S corporations and partnerships to 39.6%. He aims to increase the federal capital gains tax to 44.6%, impose a tax on 'unrealized gains,' and add a second death tax by eliminating stepped-up basis. Biden's tax plan would have a trickle-down effect, gradually expanding to hit the middle class. He also wants to set a floor under the corporate income tax rate and implement an energy tax/carbon tax. All these taxes would be collected by a supersized and unreformed IRS.

NYT columnist rejects polls saying Americans struggling in Biden economy: 'I’m OK, people I know are OK'
==========

New York Times columnist Paul Krugman rejects polls indicating that most Americans are struggling in the Biden economy, stating that he and the people he knows are doing well. Krugman argues that the U.S. economy is a remarkable success story and that job creation under Biden has been impressive. He acknowledges the surge in inflation but dismisses it as having mostly subsided. Krugman attributes the disconnect between public perceptions and economic reality to inflation aversion and partisanship. He suggests that more progressives should celebrate the current economy and calls for strengthening the weak social safety net. Krugman concludes by stating that the U.S. economy is a remarkable success story.

China's schools use AI. Why don't ours?
==========

The tech industry is experiencing layoffs due to a lack of training in AI tools. The demand for expertise in cybersecurity, AI, and data science is booming. AI is not a replacement for humans but a tool to augment human capabilities. Incorporating AI into education is essential for future success and global leadership. American schools must educate responsible citizens who can harness the power of AI for good. China is ahead in integrating AI into their education systems. American educators, policymakers, and industry leaders must collaborate, invest, and require education in AI to bridge the skills gap.

Solar Eclipse 2024: NASA's 'Moon' X account blocks 'Sun' account on social media: 'Oops I did it again'
==========

During the solar eclipse in 2024, NASA's 'Moon' X account blocked the 'Sun' account on social media, posting 'Oops I did it again.' The eclipse was a total eclipse of the sun that passed over the U.S. on Monday. The last time a total eclipse was seen in the U.S. was on August 21, 2017. The post quickly gained over three million impressions and received positive responses from users. NASA's various social media accounts teased each other throughout the day. The next total solar eclipse in the U.S. will occur on August 23, 2044.

Republicans take to floor to slam Dems for expected dismissal of Mayorkas trial
==========

Several Senate Republicans, including Sen. Roger Marshall, Sen. Rick Scott, Sen. Eric Schmitt, Sen. John Kennedy, Sen. John Cornyn, Sen. Mike Lee, and Sen. Mike Braun, called for an immediate and open trial into the impeachment articles passed against Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. They argued that blocking the impeachment trial would keep the borders open. Senate Democrats are expected to use a procedural maneuver to quickly dismiss the trial after being sworn in as jurors on Thursday. The House spent months developing the articles against Mayorkas, and the Republicans criticized the Democrats for wanting to ignore the evidence and move on. In the nation's history, the Senate has never tabled an impeachment trial. The White House counsel sent a memo highlighting comments made by Republican senators about the Mayorkas impeachment effort prior to its passage in the House, with several Republicans changing their position and voicing support for a trial.

Iran's foreign minister accuses U.S. of giving Israel 'green light' to attack consulate in Syria
==========

Iran's foreign minister, Hossein Amirabdollahian, accuses the United States of giving Israel the 'green light' for a strike on its consulate building in Syria that killed seven Iranian military officials, including two generals. The attack, widely blamed on Israel, signifies an escalation of Israel's targeting of military officials from Iran. Iran-backed Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah supports a military response to the attack and warns of the war spiraling into the rest of the Middle East. The Biden administration denies having advance knowledge of the airstrike. Israel, which rarely acknowledges strikes against Iranian targets, has not commented on the strike. The risk of war spreading to Lebanon has worsened existing political tensions within the country.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Mayorkas’s impeachment trial
==========

The impeachment trial of Alejandro Mayorkas, Homeland Security Secretary, is about to begin in the United States Senate. Mayorkas is accused of not following the law in securing the border and lying to Congress. The House impeached Mayorkas in February, making him the second cabinet secretary ever impeached. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is expected to move to dismiss or table the articles, but Republicans may try to elongate the trial. The trial is likely to be short, with a quick dismissal similar to the impeachment of former federal judge Samuel Kent in 2009. All 100 senators will serve as jurors, and Sen. Patty Murray will preside over the trial as the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. The trial is expected to unfold over the coming days.

Former AG William Barr's free market group sues California over EV truck mandate
==========

Former U.S. Attorney General William Barr's free market business group, the American Free Enterprise Chamber of Commerce, has filed a federal lawsuit against California over its climate regulations for phasing out diesel-powered heavy-duty vehicles. The lawsuit alleges that California's Advanced Clean Fleets (ACF) regulations violate the federal Clean Air Act and are preempted by the Energy Independence and Security Act and the Federal Aviation Administration Authorization Act. The ACF regulations require trucking companies to rapidly transition their fleets from diesel-powered to zero-emissions vehicles. Barr argues that the mandate is illegal, threatens American free enterprise, and imposes massive costs on the economy and American families. The lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California and names California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Air Resources Board (CARB) Executive Officer Steven Cliff as defendants. CARB adopted the ACF regulations in April 2023, which require fleets to begin transitioning to zero-emissions vehicles this year and fully be zero-emissions by 2035. The ACF regulations also require all commercial truck sales for all fleets to be zero-emissions beginning in 2036. Less than 1% of new truck sales in the U.S. are zero-emissions. The lawsuit aims to protect Californians from government overreach and ensure continued access to affordable, reliable, and accessible fleets.

Baltimore bridge collapse: Second temporary channel opened, rough weather slows debris removal
==========

A second temporary channel has been opened at the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore, Maryland. The new channel is 14 feet deep, while another temporary channel on the north side of the bridge is 11 feet deep. The center of the bridge is 50 feet deep. Rough weather has slowed down the removal of debris from the Patapsco River. Lightning in the area has prevented cranes from operating. The Naval Sea System Command released imagery showing the wreckage of the bridge at the bottom of the river. The bridge collapsed on March 26 after being struck by the Dali cargo ship, resulting in the deaths of six construction workers. Only two bodies have been recovered so far. Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced the establishment of a scholarship for the families of transportation workers who die on the job.

In attempt to connect with young people, Japan's royal family debuts on Instagram
==========

Japan's imperial family made their debut on Instagram with the aim of shedding their reclusive image and connecting with younger generations. The Imperial Household Agency, responsible for the family's affairs, posted 60 photos and five videos showcasing Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako's public appearances over the past three months. The account had garnered more than 270,000 followers by Monday evening. The move comes 15 years after Britain's royal family joined Twitter. The agency hopes that social media will help bring the royal family closer to the people and allow them to control the narrative and respond to disinformation.

What pawn shops know about the economy that Biden doesn’t
==========

Pawn shops across the US are experiencing a glut of inventory, indicating that lower- and middle-class families are struggling financially. More than three-fourths of Americans now live paycheck to paycheck, up almost 10% from a year ago. Auto loan delinquencies have hit a 13-year high, student loan debt is at $1.74 trillion, and hardship withdrawals from 401(k)s are up 36% year over year. Wages are barely increasing after taxes and inflation, and retired Americans are struggling to keep pace with inflation. Pawn shops serve as a rainy-day fund for those without bank accounts or credit cards. The Biden administration is being criticized for denying the economic challenges faced by many Americans.

Top US military chief visits weapon factories with lawmakers to press the need to supply Ukraine
==========

Joint Chiefs Chairman Gen. CQ Brown is visiting U.S. weapon factories with lawmakers to voice the importance of a $95 billion aid package for Ukraine. Brown is accompanied by lawmakers representing factory workforces, addressing concerns over sending billions overseas. He is visiting Lockheed Martin’s Camden, Arkansas, weapon facility and the McAlester Army Ammunition Plant in McAlester, Oklahoma. The purpose of the visit is to highlight the need to replenish U.S. military stockpiles that have been sent to Ukraine during its fight against Russia's invasion. The funding is also critical to the U.S. economy as it supports local economies. The lawmakers accompanying Brown have taken different approaches to supporting Ukraine in the past. The $95 billion aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Indo-Pacific allies is currently stalled in the House, opposed by hard-line Republicans.

Feds seize 1,250 pounds of 'illegal fish' in Texas waters
==========

The U.S. Coast Guard and U.S. Customs and Border Protection seized around 1,250 pounds of illegally-caught fish in waters off southern Texas on March 5. The authorities located and detained 19 Mexican fishermen who were angling aboard four different lanchas, which are approximately 20-30 feet long with a low profile and capable of traveling at speeds exceeding 30 mph. The seized fish included 220 pounds of red snapper, along with fishing gear and high flyers. The Mexican fishermen were brought ashore and transferred to CBP personnel for further processing. The Coast Guard and CBP were assisted by Texas Parks and Wildlife Department Texas Game Wardens. The authorities are concerned about lanchas being used for narcotics smuggling as well. In January, the Coast Guard encountered three suspects who were allegedly caught illegally fishing in waters off southern Texas and seized 350 pounds of fish from them.

Remains of girl, 16, excavated from Florida mobile home park identified as Autumn McClure, missing since 2004
==========

The remains of a 16-year-old girl, Autumn McClure, who went missing in 2004, have been positively identified after being excavated from a mobile home park in Ormond Beach, Florida. The Volusia County Sheriff’s Office used their in-house ANDE Rapid DNA technology to develop a profile from the bones recovered at the burial site, significantly reducing the time it took to make an official identification. McClure was allegedly killed by her boyfriend's girlfriend, Jessica Freeman, who confessed to witnessing her boyfriend, Brian Donley, choking McClure to death. Donley died in 2022 and Freeman was given a letter of immunity. The property where the trailer sat has changed hands several times since McClure's disappearance, and the excavation was made possible after the removal of the trailer and the concrete it sat on. The sheriff's office received a tip in 2021 linking Donley and Freeman to the death of a teenage girl in Volusia County.

Former Santos staffer says expelled congressman's surprise challenge to Lalota 'is a joke'
==========

Naysa Woomer, former communications director for George Santos, called his surprise comeback campaign a 'joke' and said the media attention he received increased his ego. Santos, who was expelled from Congress, attended President Biden's State of the Union address and declared his intention to challenge Rep. Nick LaLota in New York's First Congressional District. Santos was previously elected to and expelled from New York's 3rd Congressional District due to misuse of campaign funds. LaLota welcomed the chance to defeat Santos in a primary. Rep. Ritche Torres announced legislation to revoke floor privileges for expelled former House members. Woomer supported the proposal.

Berkeley professor of Israel studies moves into office for ‘sit-in’ against antisemitism on campus: report
==========

Berkeley professor Ron Hassner, the Helen Diller Family Chair in Israel Studies, has moved into his office for a 'sit-in' to protest against antisemitism on campus. Hassner accuses the school of an 'inability to make difficult and important decisions' regarding antisemitic attacks. He wrote a letter to UC Chancellor Carol Christ and Provost Benjamin Hermalin expressing his concerns. Hassner will be teaching his classes on Zoom and encourages his colleagues to do the same until the campus is safe from antisemitism. He plans to stay in his office until necessary steps are taken to prevent violence between students. The protest is non-confrontational, non-violent, and legal. Hassner is afraid of a planned protest by pro-Israel students expected to march on Monday. The school remains committed to confronting antisemitism and is in conversation with Hassner about his concerns.

Eastbound Strangler: Serial killer stays in shadows as boogeyman with no face but at least 4 victims
==========

Four women were hunted in Atlantic City in 2006, with their bodies left along Black Horse Pike in Egg Harbor Township. The victims were Kim Raffo, Barbara Breidor, Molly Dilts, and Tracy Ann Roberts. Their bodies were positioned with their arms stretched out in the water and their heads pointed east, giving birth to the sinister moniker 'Eastbound Strangler.' The killer remains unidentified. Various theories attempting to identify the killer have failed. Criminal profiler John Kelly and his team at STALK Inc. have an open $25,000 reward for information leading to the capture of the killer. The Eastbound Strangler is believed to be a local male with a foot fetish and a rigid and structured personality. The Long Island Serial Killer (LISK) and the Eastbound Strangler are not the same person. The methods used by the two killers differ. There is no definitive evidence linking Rex Heuermann, the alleged Long Island Serial Killer, to the Atlantic City victims. The killer likely follows news about his murders, has a prior record of abuse towards women, and is likely detached from his father and abused as a child. The killer may have killed before and after the four known victims. The killings may have stopped due to various reasons, such as the suspect not wanting to get caught or settling down in a relationship. Tips from individuals who may have encountered the killer while soliciting sex workers could be crucial in solving the case.

Maryland Senate passes bill to allow illegal migrants buy health insurance
==========

The Maryland Senate has passed the 'Access to Care Act' on a party line vote of 34-13, allowing undocumented citizens to purchase health insurance in the state. The bill previously passed in the state's House on a 101-34 vote. The legislation would add additional costs to Maryland taxpayers and would require the Maryland Health Benefit Exchange to submit a federal waiver application by July 1, 2025. If a waiver is granted, the program could start as early as 2026. Advocates see the bill as a step forward to ensure that all Maryland residents have access to healthcare. However, sources familiar with the legislation state that it would add additional costs to Maryland taxpayers. The bill now awaits approval from the other chamber and the signature of Democratic Governor Wes Moore.

Hamas delegation arrives in Cairo as Israel puts cease-fire agreement 'on the table'
==========

A Hamas delegation arrived in Cairo, Egypt, on Sunday to engage in negotiations for a cease-fire after Israel put an agreement on the table this weekend. The potential six-week cease-fire would be the first lengthy pause in fighting since Israel began its retaliatory campaign in October of last year. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has insisted that while he is ready for another temporary cease-fire to bring hostages home, the war will continue until Hamas is fully rooted out of Gaza. The U.S. has warned that any invasion of Rafah must include a clear means of protecting civilians in the region, many of whom have been crowded into the border town as a result of Israeli strikes in more northern areas of the Gaza Strip. The U.S. military partnered with the Jordanian Royal Air Force to airdrop some 38,000 meals into the region on Saturday. The U.S. has also called for more aid to Gaza. President Biden's administration launched an aid campaign to airdrop food and supplies to Gaza.

El Chapo lawyer defends disgraced doctor against manslaughter charge for gas-assisted suicide
==========

Stephen P. Miller, a high-powered attorney who has represented Joaquin 'El Chapo' Guzman and John Gotti Jr., is defending a disgraced doctor, 85-year-old Stephen P. Miller, who is facing second-degree manslaughter charges for assisting a woman, Doreen Brodhead, in her nitrogen gas suicide. Miller traveled from Tucson, Arizona to meet with Brodhead in a New York motel, where she took her own life. Miller turned himself in to the Kingston Police Department and pleaded not guilty to the charges. Miller's lawyer, Jeffrey Lichtman, stated that Brodhead contacted Miller through a national organization that advocates for the legalization of physician-aided suicide. Miller sits on the advisory board of Choice and Dignity, an Arizona-based nonprofit that advocates for 'right to die' laws. Miller's license to practice medicine expired in 2005, and he was convicted of federal tax evasion in 2006. The case raises questions about the role of physicians in assisted suicide programs and the legalization of assisted suicide for non-terminally ill patients.

Balkan leaders vow to bring economies in line with EU regulations on road to membership
==========

The leaders of Western Balkan countries have agreed to speed up regional cooperation to benefit from a new European Union plan of financial aid. The plan calls for about $6.5 billion to be sent to the Balkan states over the next three years to double the region's economy and accelerate their efforts to join the EU. The aid is contingent on implementing reforms to bring their economies in line with EU rules. The six countries in the region have pledged to unify financial regulations, adapt customs regulations, create joint border crossings, launch research and development hubs, and install free Wi-Fi in public places. The EU aims to halve the implementation time for the plan. Bilateral disputes should not interfere with the plan's implementation. Serbia and Kosovo, which have not recognized Kosovo's independence, both want to join the EU but their refusal to compromise jeopardizes their chances for membership.

AI used by US forces to help identify hostile targets in Middle East: report
==========

The US is increasing its use of AI technology on the battlefield, specifically in helping to strike targets in the Middle East. The latest round of airstrikes targeted eight locations, including underground weapons storage facilities, missile storage facilities, one-way attack unmanned aerial systems, air defense systems, radars, and a helicopter, to disrupt the capabilities of the Iranian-backed Houthi militia. The military is using computer vision algorithms to identify enemy targets in the Middle East. AI systems can aggregate bulk information and identify targets and locations more efficiently than traditional techniques. AI tools enhance the machine learning process and have become an element of the US targeting process. However, there is little transparency about how AI targeting systems work and whether they can determine the risk of civilian casualties. The public is largely left in the dark about how these systems operate.

New text-to-video AI model Sora will unleash creative potential but requires 'extreme accountability'
==========

OpenAI has announced its new Sora text-to-video model, which has the ability to generate complex scenes with multiple characters and accurate details. However, the model has weaknesses in accurately simulating the physics of a complex scene and understanding cause and effect. Experts highlight the creative potential of the technology but also emphasize the need for greater safeguards and public education on its use. OpenAI pledges to take safety steps, including adversarial testing and tools to detect misleading content. The founder of the Center for Advanced Preparedness and Threat Response Simulation (CAPTRS) believes Sora will create huge productivity gains when used positively, but also emphasizes the need for extreme accountability in the use of AI models. The release of Sora is seen as a significant step forward in generative AI, but experts expect it to struggle to match the hype.

Ping visited Baruch College, Northeastern University, and Boston University, where he met with officials and expressed interest in strengthening cooperation with China. Ping has previously praised the CCP and denied the existence of genocide and internment camps targeting Uyghurs, describing the camps as educational centers. He has also promoted CCP talking points on his social media account. The universities involved did not provide further information on the purpose of the meetings.

Israeli military kills Hamas terrorists, finds 'significant' weapons and assets inside UNRWA headquarters
==========

Israeli military conducted raids on Hamas facilities in northern Gaza over the past two weeks, killing 120 terrorists and destroying 20 terrorist infrastructure sites. The raids were led by the Israel Security Agency (ISA) and resulted in the discovery of a 700-meter-long tunnel that served as a significant asset of Hamas' military intelligence. The tunnel passed under the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) headquarters in the Gaza Strip, which was found to have supplied the tunnel with electricity. During the raid on the UNRWA headquarters, Israeli forces found large quantities of weapons, including rifles, ammunition, grenades, and explosives. Intelligence and documents discovered in the offices of UNRWA officials confirmed that the offices had been used by Hamas terrorists. Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant stated that 'dozens' of UNRWA employees took part in the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks that launched the Israel-Hamas war.

Mississippi mother sues poultry factory where 16-year-old son died in workplace accident
==========

The mother of a 16-year-old who died in a workplace accident at a Mississippi poultry factory is suing the companies that hired and employed him, accusing them of failing to follow safety standards that could have prevented his death. The lawsuit follows a January report by the U.S. Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration that declared numerous safety violations related to the death of the teenager. In July, the teenager became the third worker to die in less than three years at the plant owned by Mar-Jac Poultry. The lawsuit alleges that Mar-Jac Poultry skirted safety protections and allowed the underage worker to clean equipment despite his age and alleged improper training. The staffing agency assigned the minor to work at the plant even though it knew he was underage. Federal investigators cited Mar-Jac for workplace violations and proposed over $200,000 in penalties. The lawsuit also calls on Mar-Jac's customers, including Chick-fil-A, to insist on improved working conditions or stop doing business with the company.

Top Republicans blast Biden for replacing John Kerry with John Podesta, who called CCP official 'friend'
==========

Top Republicans express concern over President Biden's appointment of John Podesta as America's top climate diplomat, replacing John Kerry. Podesta, who has a close relationship with Chinese officials, has been appointed to oversee international climate negotiations. Republicans are concerned about Podesta's negotiations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and his previous comments referring to a top CCP official as his 'friend'. They argue that the Biden Administration should be transparent about their activities and cooperate with oversight committees. Podesta and the CCP official collaborated on research projects and had multiple phone calls between 2015 and 2016. Republicans argue that negotiating with China on climate change is a waste of time as China is not interested in climate change and is undermining American leadership. They also highlight China's expansion of coal power despite its commitment to green energy alternatives. China is the world's largest emitter of greenhouse gases.

US government is ‘helping’ high-tech manufacturing to death
==========

The U.S. government is hindering high-tech manufacturing through policies such as the budget deficit, tariffs, and industrial policy. The manufacturing sector is transitioning from 'old tech' industries to high-tech fields like advanced optics, custom semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, aerospace products, and precision electronics. The real exchange rate, influenced by the budget deficit and monetary policy, affects the competitiveness of American products in foreign markets. Tariffs on imported materials directly harm advanced manufacturers. Trade barriers in the rest of the economy indirectly hurt the high-tech sector. The Democrats' Inflation Reduction Act and the bipartisan CHIPS Act, aimed at bringing back manufacturing jobs, have not been successful. States like Nebraska, Utah, Arizona, Florida, and Arkansas have experienced growth in their manufacturing sectors due to flexible labor regulations, educated workforces, and pro-growth land-use rules. The federal government should cut deficits, tariffs, and red tape, while states should reform their education systems to support scientific innovation.

ABC host abruptly ends interview with JD Vance over Supreme Court remarks: 'No, no George'
==========

ABC host George Stephanopoulos abruptly ends interview with JD Vance after Vance suggests that former President Trump could defy 'illegitimate' Supreme Court rulings. Vance argues that the president should have the prerogative to run the military as he sees fit and respond to any illegitimate rulings. Stephanopoulos cuts off Vance when he tries to respond, muting his mic before the show goes to break. The two also spar over Vance's remarks in a podcast where he suggested firing mid-level bureaucrats in the administrative state. Vance argues that bureaucrats who don't follow the rules should be fired, while Stephanopoulos questions whether Vance supports firing every civil servant in the government. The interview becomes contentious as they discuss the role of administrators and bureaucrats in the government and their relationship with the elected branches. Vance emphasizes the need to follow the rules and run the government as the president sees fit, while criticizing the bureaucracy's influence over the past 15 years.

Senate negotiators have released the text of the much-anticipated border bill that includes significant reforms, such as a crackdown on asylum and parole. The bipartisan group of lawmakers, including Sens. James Lankford, Krysten Sinema, and Chris Murphy, have been working with White House officials since December to address the crisis at the southern border. The bill would be included in supplemental spending that includes billions in foreign assistance to Ukraine and Israel. The agreement holds the potential to allocate $60 billion to Ukraine and $14 billion to Israel, but its passage through the House appears doubtful as tensions persist between House Republicans and Senate Democrats. The Biden administration originally sought over $100 billion in funding, including $14 billion for the border, but Republicans demanded limits on migrant releases into the interior. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer said a vote on the package could come as early as Wednesday.

South Dakota Gov. Noem banned from tribal reservation over remarks on US southern border
==========

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been banned from the Pine Ridge Reservation by the Oglala Sioux Tribe after she spoke about wanting to bolster the US-Mexico border by sending razor wire and security personnel to Texas. Tribe President Frank Star Comes Out accused Noem of using the border issue to get former President Donald Trump re-elected and boost her chances of becoming his choice for vice president. Star Comes Out also criticized Noem for dehumanizing and mistreating indigenous people coming to the border in search of jobs and a better life. Noem responded by saying it was unfortunate that Star Comes Out brought politics into the discussion and expressed her willingness to work with Native American tribes to build relationships.

US 'not looking for a war with Iran,' White House says, strikes designed to 'put an end' to attacks on troops
==========

The United States carried out retaliatory strikes on more than 85 targets in Iraq and Syria against Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Force and affiliated militia groups and proxies. The strikes were in response to the deaths of three U.S. service members on a U.S. base in Jordan. The White House emphasized that the strikes were designed to de-escalate tensions and put an end to attacks on U.S. troops in the region. The targets were carefully selected to avoid civilian casualties and were based on evidence of their connection to attacks on U.S. troops. The Iraqi government was informed before the strikes were launched. The strikes were delayed due to weather conditions. The U.S. officials stated that they are not seeking a war with Iran and that the goal of the strikes is to stop the attacks on U.S. service members. Additional response actions will be taken in the coming days. The fallen troops from the recent attacks were Sgt. William Jerome Rivers, Spc. Kennedy Landon Sanders, and Spc. Breonna Alexsondria Moffett. President Biden holds Iran responsible for the recent attack but does not wish to escalate tensions.

Milei-backed 'omnibus' reform bill gets initial approval from Argentine lawmakers
==========

Argentina's lower chamber of deputies has given overall approval to libertarian President Javier Milei's sweeping 'omnibus' reform bill in a vote on February 2, 2024. The bill was approved with 144 votes in favor and 109 against. The legislation will now proceed to the upper house for further consideration. The bill includes a range of reforms, from economic policy to privatization of state entities, aimed at addressing Argentina's economic crisis. Milei's La Libertad Avanza party, along with likeminded allies, was able to advance the bill despite holding a small number of seats in the chamber. The vote followed a long and heated debate, with opposition bloc Union por la Patria voicing fierce rejection of Milei's policies. The bill is expected to be voted on article by article starting on February 6. Protesters opposed to Milei's reforms have clashed with riot police outside the congressional building in Buenos Aires.

Cuban economy minister out over delayed fuel, transport price hikes
==========

Cuban President Miguel Díaz-Canel removed the country's economy minister, Alejandro Gil, following a delay in recently announced measures to increase the prices of fuel and transportation. The government had put on hold an increase in gasoline prices planned for Feb. 1, citing a cyberattack. Central Bank president Joaquín Alonso Vázquez was appointed as the new economy minister. The Cuban government had previously stated that it would have to increase prices for fuel and electricity or reduce rations for basic supplies due to the economic crisis. The move comes as Cuba's economy contracted between 1% and 2% in 2023, with inflation at about 30%. In addition to the economy minister, Science, Technology and Environment Minister Elba Rosa Perez was also removed and replaced by Eduardo Martinez. The Food Industry Ministry will now be led by lawmaker Alberto Lopez.

Biden takes aim at grocery stores for 'ripping people off' amid continued high prices: 'Played for suckers'
==========

President Joe Biden blames grocery stores for continued high prices. During a speech at the South Carolina’s First in the Nation Dinner, Biden criticized corporations for 'ripping people off' with high pricing. He mentioned price gouging, junk fees, greedflation, and shrinkflation as examples. Biden stated that Americans are tired of being 'played for suckers' and vowed to keep pressuring corporations to lower prices. A recent survey found that 59% of respondents felt angry, anxious, or resigned while shopping for groceries, with anger being the most common emotion. Inflation is still a concern for many Americans, with prices significantly higher than before 2020. The Federal Reserve held interest rates steady, stating that it will carefully assess incoming data and the balance of risks before considering any adjustments. Since the start of 2021, food prices have gone up 33.7%, shelter costs increased by 18.7%, and energy prices rose by 32.8%. Americans are now paying on average $1,020 more each month compared to two years ago. Biden has frequently touted 'Bidenomics' and highlighted December numbers as a sign of economic improvement.

JESSE WATTERS: Migrants flipped the double bird to the country after Biden let them in
==========

Jesse Watters, a Fox News host, criticizes President Biden's handling of the migrant crisis, highlighting an incident where a gang of migrants assaulted two NYPD officers and made offensive hand gestures after being released without bail. Watters argues that the incident symbolizes the failures of the Biden presidency and criticizes the lenient treatment of illegal migrants. He also mentions the influx of migrants into the country and the lack of resistance from the government. Watters suggests that the Biden administration's border policy is not humane and allows criminals to go unpunished. He points out that other countries do not permit such behavior. The article concludes by mentioning that some of the gang members have already left for California to avoid facing charges.

Daniel Penny lawyer blasts release of migrants who attacked NYPD officers without bail: ‘very confounding’
==========

The lawyer for U.S. Marine veteran Daniel Penny criticizes the decision to release migrants without bail after they attacked NYPD officers near Times Square. The suspects, identified as Darwin Andres Gomez Izquiel, Kelvin Servat Arocha, Wilson Juarez, Yorman Reveron, and Jhoan Boada, were caught on surveillance cameras kicking the officers before fleeing. Two more migrants, Yohenry Brito and Jandry Barros, were arrested in connection with the attack. The Manhattan DA's office declined to prosecute Barros due to insufficient evidence. Law enforcement sources believe that four of the charged migrants may have fled to California. Attorney Thomas Kenniff, who represents Daniel Penny, argues that releasing the migrants without bail is confounding and that they have minimal ties to New York City. Penny himself is facing charges in the chokehold death of a subway passenger. The assault on the officers highlights the city's struggle to handle an influx of migrants from the Texas-Mexico border.

Iowa star Caitlin Clark left in awe by sold-out arenas, heightened fan interest: 'It's crazy'
==========

Caitlin Clark, star player for the Iowa Hawkeyes basketball team, has been amazed by the sold-out arenas and heightened fan interest surrounding her team. The Hawkeyes, currently ranked No. 3 in the nation, have become a must-see attraction for fans across the U.S. Almost every basketball arena they have traveled to this season has been sold out, with tickets sometimes costing thousands on the secondary market. Clark, who is averaging a career-high 32.1 points per game, is on the verge of breaking the all-time scoring record. The attention being paid to the Iowa basketball program is largely due to Clark's unique talents. Ticket prices for Hawkeyes games have increased by 224% since Clark joined the team in 2020, and the average distance traveled by fans to watch Iowa play is up 34% from last season. Clark is part of a new generation of stars who are easily accessible through social media highlights and streaming services. Last year's national championship game featuring Iowa drew almost 10 million viewers.

Redistricting reports due in case poised to reshape Wisconsin Legislature
==========

Eagerly awaited redistricting reports that will recommend new maps expected to reshape the balance of power in the Wisconsin Legislature are due to the state Supreme Court on Thursday. Republicans have had a firm grip on the Legislature since 2011 even as Democrats have won statewide elections. The court ordered new maps with contiguous districts that do not favor one party over another. The consultants could recommend adopting one of the proposed maps or completely different maps. The Wisconsin Supreme Court, with a 4-3 liberal majority, will decide which maps to enact by March 15. Democrats have also asked the court to take up a challenge to the state's congressional district lines.
