Quick Glance: Arrest of Delhi Chief Minister Raises Concern Ahead of Indian Elections
- When Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal was arrested in March for an alleged liquor scam by the Enforcement Directorate, it marked the latest incident in a long list of legal offensives against opposition leaders ahead of the Indian general elections.
- Surveys indicate the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is ahead, but concerns over unemployment and inflation could boost the opposition.
- Opposition parties in India, critical of Modi, see recent developments as a government attempt to use central agencies to pressure political opponents.
- Kejriwal's arrest could pave the way in Delhi for President's Rule, leading to the dissolution of the AAP-led government with the BJP taking control of the state.
Elon Musk threatens to disobey court order over banned profiles: Brazil threatens to regulate social media owned by "billionaires domiciled abroad."
ft.com/content/26e54895-a37d-4ab1-baad-701d5ddcf150
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
- A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.
- Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.
- Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.
- Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Quick Glance: Investigation of Key Bridge Incident
- The FBI has initiated a criminal investigation focusing on the colossal container vessel that caused the collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore last month.
- Authorities are examining the sequence of events that led to the Dali, a 985-foot Singaporean ship, losing power as it departed from the Port of Baltimore and colliding with one of the bridge's support pillars.
- Federal agents appeared to have boarded the ship on Monday morning to conduct a search.
- President Biden and Maryland Governor Wes Moore (D) have expressed their commitment to hold accountable any entities potentially responsible for the bridge's destruction.

reuters.com/world/us/maersk-could-offer-limited-baltimore-barge-service-2024-04-24/
Quick Glance: Maersk plans limited barge service in Baltimore
- Denmark's Maersk is planning to resume some shipping services at the U.S. Port of Baltimore once a temporary channel is opened to allow access for commercially essential vessels that are blocked by a collapsed bridge.
- The channel with a controlling depth of 20 feet could potentially enable limited barge services into and out of the Port of Baltimore, according to Maersk.
- A container ship chartered by the Danish group collided with Baltimore's harbor bridge last month, leading to the collapse of the structure.
- The shipping traffic in Baltimore is expected to return to its full capacity by the end of May.

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.

wionews.com/videos/donald-trump-immunity-case-us-sc-hears-trumps-immunity-case-715077
Quick Glance: Trump's Disregard for Democratic Principles
- Donald Trump's claim of absolute immunity for criminal acts as president is an assault on common sense and a perversion of the fundamental principle of American democracy.
- The Supreme Court's decision to take the case may delay the former president's trial and deprive the public of the right to know if he attempted to undermine the sacred process of presidential succession.
- The Supreme Court's direct intervention in the 2024 presidential election deprives voters of critical information and could lead to a constitutional crisis if Trump is re-elected and convicted.
- The notion that the president is above the law and can pardon himself is a radical contempt for republican government, revealing Trump's vision of unchecked royal power.
