Quick Glance: Biden administration strengthens rules on obtaining medical records for abortion
- Under the new regulation by the Biden administration, medical records of women will be shielded from criminal investigations if they cross state lines to seek a legal abortion.
- The regulation aims to protect women in states where abortion is illegal from prosecution and is expected to face legal challenges from anti-abortion advocates and criticism from abortion-rights advocates.
- The protection also extends to women seeking fertility, contraception, or miscarriage care, according to the nation’s top health official Xavier Becerra.
- However, the regulation does not protect women from criminal investigations when ordering abortion pills online and does not mandate law enforcement officials to obtain a warrant for medical records of patients.

Quick Glance: Bringing Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is Wrong | Opinion
- Sports radio personality David Weiglein, known as 'Carmichael Dave', opposes the temporary relocation of the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento by Kings owner Vivek Ranadive.
- Weiglein argues that bringing the Oakland Athletics to Sacramento is wrong due to owner John Fisher being considered one of the worst in sports and advocates for the A's to remain in Oakland.
- He cautions that Sacramento would receive a bad reputation as game attendance might dwindle after the initial novelty wears off, leaving loyal fans feeling duped.
- Weiglein draws a parallel to the heroic story of saving the Sacramento Kings from moving to Seattle, emphasizing his refusal to engage with an owner like Fisher.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests
- Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.
- The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.
- No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."
- The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.
