Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison in firebombing of California Planned Parenthood clinic
cnn.com/2024/04/15/politics/planned-parenthood-attack-former-marine-sentenced/
Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic
- A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'
- Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.
- Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.
- Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

Quick Glance: CDC warns of looming measles outbreak in the US
- A report from the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicates a significant decline in measles immunization since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, resulting in a record high of almost 40 million children missing a vaccine dose last year.
- With the increase in cases that could jeopardize the virus's eliminated status in the U.S., the CDC is calling for measures to boost measles immunization.
- So far, 113 measles cases have been confirmed since 2020, compared to 58 cases detected last year. The majority of measles patients since 2020 have not been vaccinated or had an unknown vaccination status.
- Experts express concerns that the rise in measles cases in the U.S. may signal a troubling trend. The CDC emphasizes the need to increase routine MMR vaccination coverage to maintain elimination.
Proxima Fusion raises $21M to build on its ‘stellarator’ approach to nuclear fusion
techcrunch.com/2024/04/09/proxima-fusion-raises-21m-to-build-on-its-stellarator-approach-to-nuclear-fusion/
Quick Glance: Proxima Fusion raises $21M to advance 'stellarator' nuclear fusion
- Venture capitalists' interest in fusion startups has fluctuated recently. Despite nuclear fusion companies attracting over $6 billion in investments in 2023, $1.4 billion more than in 2022, the 27% growth was slower due to external concerns like inflation.
- However, beyond the numbers, startup innovation in the field continues with novel approaches to harness the Sun's energy for safe and endless power.
- Proxima Fusion, the first spin-out of the renowned Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics (IPP), has raised €20 million ($21.7M) to kickstart the construction of its initial fusion power plants.
- The company's technology is based on 'quasi-isodynamic (QI) stellarators' with high-temperature superconductors, leveraging research from the Max Planck IPP, which developed the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) experiment, the world's largest stellarator.

newsweek.com/joe-biden-faces-new-ohio-headache-ballot-access-presidential-election-1887665
Quick Glance: New Challenge Emerges for Biden in Ohio
- There is a possibility that President Joe Biden may encounter issues accessing general election ballots in Ohio due to a potential conflict in state law.
- According to a letter in Newsweek's possession, Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's legal advisor is seeking clarification on an evident conflict in Ohio law between the nominating process of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) and the deadline for the state to certify the party's presidential candidate.
- A deadline for a resolution has been set, with a request for 'immediate attention to the matter'. It was noted that either the Democratic National Committee must reschedule its nominating convention or the Ohio General Assembly must establish an exception to this legal requirement by May 9, 2024.
- Despite Trump's current lead in Ohio, several polls suggest that Biden's chances of reelection in November have improved, with two reputable polling aggregates indicating he is tied with or ahead of Trump.
