Quick Glance: Kennedy Family Backs Biden Over RFK Jr.
- President Joe Biden will accept endorsements from at least 15 members of the Kennedy political family during a campaign stop in Philadelphia to undermine former President Donald Trump and marginalize the candidacy of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
- The decision to highlight the Kennedy family endorsement more than six months from Election Day is an indication of how seriously Biden's team is taking the threat of the long shot bid potentially using his last name’s lingering Democratic magic to siphon off support from the president.
- The Kennedy family's support was expected, given the known political differences with Robert Kennedy Jr., who originally challenged Biden in the Democratic Party and is now running as an Independent.
- Following the official endorsement, Biden and Kennedy family members intended to engage with supporters at a campaign event and were planning outreach efforts on behalf of Biden.

Quick Glance: Trump Narrows Gap with Young Voters, Biden's Lead Shrinks - Survey Results
- A new poll shows that former President Donald Trump continues to reduce his deficit with young voters compared to President Joe Biden.
- In the Harvard Youth Poll released on Thursday, Biden leads among 18- to 29-year-olds with 45 percent compared to 37 percent for Trump, while 16 percent are undecided.
- Biden holds a significant lead among likely voters who are non-white or female. He outperforms Trump by 47 points among college graduates and by 23 points among students.
- The survey also indicates that Trump's younger supporters are much more enthusiastic about the former president than their peers who support Biden, and that Biden's approval rating among young adults is only at 31 percent.

4.8 Magnitude Earthquake Rattles New York City and Beyond: The United States Geological Survey reported the quake around 10:23 a.m.
nytimes.com/2024/04/05/nyregion/earthquake-new-york-boston-philadelphia.html
Quick Glance: Magnitude 4.8 Earthquake Rocks New York City and Northeast US
- An unusual East Coast earthquake startled millions from New York to rural New England. Over 42 million people may have felt the midmorning quake with a preliminary magnitude of 4.8.
- While causing no widespread damage, the earthquake led to evacuations in Newark, New Jersey, and infrastructure inspections across the region. Flights were diverted, trains slowed, and tunnel traffic stopped.
- Although no major damages were reported, the earthquake caused some disruptions. The area near the epicenter experienced minor effects, including the collapse of a historic site. There were also over a dozen aftershocks reported in the region.
- President Joe Biden offered assistance, while New York City reported no major safety or infrastructure issues. Engineers emphasized that New York skyscrapers are made of high-strength materials and designed to sway slowly to withstand impacts. Even the delicately placed eggs in a sculpture at a Chinatown art gallery remained unharmed during the quake.

A biased test kept thousands of Black people from getting a kidney transplant. It's finally changing
apnews.com/article/kidney-transplant-race-black-inequity-bias-d4fabf2f3a47aab2fe8e18b2a5432135
Quick Glance: Biased Testing Impact on Black Kidney Transplants
- After waiting for a kidney for four years, Jazmin Evans received a shocking message from her hospital: She should have been placed on the transplant list in 2015 instead of 2019, all due to a racially biased organ test.
- An unprecedented initiative has attributed lost waiting time to over 14,000 Black kidney transplant candidates, elevating their priority on the transplant list.
- The transition to race-free equations in calculating kidney function and the directive to use only race-neutral test results are crucial steps in addressing this imbalance.
- While the reduction of race usage in medical decisions is gradual, the kidney saga serves as a distinctive example of rectifying past injustices and combating healthcare disparities.

Quick Glance: Reinstated Philly Cop Sues City for $100,000 in Unpaid Overtime
- Joseph Stevenson, a fired Philadelphia police sergeant, is suing the city for nearly $100,000 in overtime pay he claims he is owed for the time he was off duty.
- Stevenson was initially terminated in January 2020 after being accused of assaulting his wife. He was later reinstated with back pay after pleading no contest to reduced charges.
- In his lawsuit, Stevenson alleges that the city still owes him $98,975 of the $120,920 in overtime he would have received during the period he was not working.
- The city's decision to fire Stevenson was based on hearsay, deemed insufficient by arbitrator Thomas Leonard.
