Quick Glance: San Francisco's Real Estate Market in Turmoil

The city of San Francisco, once seen as the shining star of the West Coast, is now on the verge of collapse, with seemingly no one raising the alarm.

In particular, the city's housing market has been severely impacted over the past year, with prices plummeting and homeowners fleeing en masse.

Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, did not hold back in his comparison of San Francisco's issues to those of New York City, stating that the Bay Area is 'in far worse shape.'

San Francisco is failing in all aspects, leading to a quiet collapse of its housing market, where once luxurious properties are now being offered at significant discounts.

Quick Glance: South Korea Objects to Japanese Leaders' Yasukuni Shrine Offerings

South Korea expressed deep disappointment on Sunday over Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida's offerings at the Yasukuni Shrine and urged Japanese leaders to show repentance for the country's wartime past.

The shrine is viewed by Beijing and Seoul as a representation of Japan's historical military aggression due to its inclusion of 14 Japanese wartime leaders among the 2.5 million war dead honored there.

The South Korean government calls on Japanese leaders to confront history and demonstrate sincere repentance, which would be a crucial step towards enhancing relations between the two countries.

Despite progress in the South Korea-Japan relationship, particularly in security cooperation, the offerings made by Kishida and some cabinet members at the Yasukuni Shrine have sparked protests from South Korea.

Quick Glance: Japan to Gift Washington 250 New Cherry Trees

Despite support for Kishida's remarks championing a free and open Indo-Pacific, some conservative Republicans remained seated during his call for support for Ukraine's fight against Russia.

Kishida and President Joe Biden unveiled a list of initiatives to deepen their military cooperation and jointly condemned China's 'dangerous and escalatory' actions in the region.

Quick Glance: Why Japan Seeks Summit with Nuclear-Armed North Korea

Japanese Prime Minister Kishida aims to engage in talks with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un to address the issue of Japanese citizens abducted by North Korea in the 1960s and 1970s.

North Korea has not definitively stated its position on a summit with Japan, with some statements suggesting a potential opening for closer ties.

Past summits between Japan and North Korea had varying outcomes, with North Korea acknowledging some abductions in 2002.

Kishida's efforts to arrange a meeting with Kim Jong Un carry political risks and could lead to a decline in his approval ratings given North Korea's reluctance, posing challenges for Japan.

Quick Glance: George Santos ends independent bid for US House seat

Following his expulsion from Congress after a bipartisan vote on December 1, George Santos, a Republican representative from New York, is seen leaving the U.S. Capitol. On Tuesday, Santos announced his decision to withdraw his independent candidacy for New York's 1st Congressional District.

In order to prevent a split in the Republican ticket between himself and the incumbent Republican candidate, Nick LaLota, in case he secures the Republican nomination after the New York primary on June 25, Santos opted out of an independent run, as reported by Politico.

Nancy Goroff and John Avlon are currently competing for the Democratic nomination for the congressional seat during the New York primary.

Despite concluding his independent candidacy, Santos hinted at a possible future congressional run. He expressed, 'The future holds countless possibilities, and I am prepared, eager, and capable to step up and fight for my country at any time.'

Quick Glance: Trump's Sex Life Unveiled as Hush Money Trial Begins

The opening day of Donald Trump’s criminal trial delved deep into his tabloid-fodder sex life, as lawyers and the judge debated how many salacious details jurors should eventually hear as they decide whether he broke the law to cover up hush money payments.

The historic first trial of a former U.S. president began Monday in a storied courthouse that has seen a host of high-profile cases over the years, from rap stars to movie moguls, but never one with such potential consequences for the nation and the world.

Despite Trump's open contempt for the trial, he was not disruptive in court but rather disinterested. However, Trump's lawyers managed to prevent jurors from being informed about specific allegations of sexual misconduct from 2016.

Prosecutors plan to highlight Trump's relationship with adult-film actress Stormy Daniels and other women in court to show that he paid hush money to protect his political image.
