Quick Glance: Fans Campaigning to Save 'So Help Me Todd'

The news of CBS canceling the show 'So Help Me Todd' after only two seasons was a blow to fans of the comedy-drama, focusing on a lively group of characters, notably Todd Wright, a free-spirited private investigator, and his rule-following attorney mother Margaret Wright.

Instead of just crying over their microbrews and cups of single-origin coffee, some particularly ardent fans of 'So Help Me Todd' are waging a campaign to save the show.

Petitions on change.org urge CBS to reconsider canceling the show, stating it is entertaining, family-oriented, and suitable for all ages.

In addition to the petition, there is a Facebook group dedicated to saving 'So Help Me Todd,' and the creator of the show, Scott Prendergast, expressed his gratitude on Instagram to the viewers, the CBS network, the actors, writers, crew members, and more who made the show possible.

Quick Glance: Trial Judge Evaluates Trump's Compliance with Gag Order

Former President Trump is on trial in New York for hush money issues. David Pecker from 'National Enquirer' testified about an agreement to manipulate stories about Trump and his rivals.

Concerns arose about Trump's violation of the gag order by criticizing court members. Mary McCord explained how the administration of justice can be disrupted by defendants' statements, leading to legal restrictions.

Despite reluctance to detain a former president, fines may be imposed for attacks on witnesses and judicial families. Threats to security and witness testimonies pose serious challenges to the trial's integrity.

Judges emphasize the importance of upholding justice by addressing threats and ensuring the safety of those involved in legal proceedings. The credibility of the trial hinges on maintaining a fair and secure environment.

Trump's Supreme Court immunity arguments make me wish Americans were immune to con artists

usatoday.com/story/opinion/columnist/2024/04/26/trump-immunity-supreme-court-election-interference/73457803007/

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.

FTC votes to ban most employers from using noncompete clauses. But legal challenge is expected

Quick Glance: US implements ban on worker 'competition agreements' with business groups filing lawsuits

The U.S. Federal Trade Commission has approved a framework to eliminate agreements often signed by employees to refrain from joining their employers' competitors or establishing rival businesses.

The ban on noncompete agreements is projected to boost worker earnings by up to $488 billion over the next decade and facilitate the establishment of over 8,500 new businesses annually.

Prominent business associations have criticized the framework and declared legal actions, contending that noncompete agreements assist companies in safeguarding trade secrets and advancing competitiveness.

Unions have endorsed the FTC's vote in favor of the ban, hailing it as a significant triumph for workers that will enhance the national economy by fostering entrepreneurship.

Quick Glance: Vatican Denounces Gender Surgery, Surrogacy, and Gender Theory

The Vatican declared gender-affirming surgery and surrogacy as grave violations of human dignity, equating them with abortion and euthanasia.

Rejecting 'gender theory,' the Vatican emphasized that people should not tamper with the gender they were created with by God.

The new document underscores that biological sex and the sociocultural role of sex can be distinguished but not separated.

The Vatican's most detailed stance on gender emphasizes the complementarity of biologically male and female sex organs for creating new life.

Trump hush money trial live updates: Hearing to determine if Trump is held in contempt

abcnews.go.com/US/live-updates/trump-hush-money-trial/

Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial

A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

apnews.com/article/hunter-biden-dismiss-federal-gun-case-ccc77cf35e8c2626edd3d94479abe3ec

Quick Glance: Judge Denies Hunter Biden's Attempt to Dismiss Federal Gun Charges

A judge in Delaware has denied attempts by President Joe Biden's son Hunter Biden to dismiss three federal gun charges, all but ensuring a trial will move forward this summer.

Hunter Biden's lawyers had pinned their hopes for dismissal largely on the belief that an immunity provision in their plea agreement, which eventually collapsed, was validated upon both parties signing it. However, Weiss' office contended that the agreement necessitated approval from a probation officer, a requirement that was never fulfilled.

This ruling signifies another legal setback for Hunter Biden following a federal judge in California recently rejecting similar objections to a nine-count indictment related to tax offenses. The trial for this case is anticipated to commence shortly after the Delaware gun case.

Hunter Biden also alleged that Weiss succumbed to political pressure from Republicans and former President Donald Trump. Nonetheless, Noreika delivered a scathing criticism.

Senator Elizabeth Warren is facing criticism for her recent remarks regarding whether Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, with the ADL condemning her for amplifying 'dangerous rhetoric.'

During a Q&A session at a Boston-area mosque last week, the senator was asked about a potential UN court ruling on Israel's actions in Gaza.

Earlier this year, the International Court found it plausible that Israel has violated the Genocide Convention. The ICJ's legal proceedings are ongoing.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin stated during a Senate hearing that there is no evidence of genocide being committed by Israel in Gaza, refuting accusations of supporting genocide.

New York's highest court overturned Harvey Weinstein's 2020 rape conviction, disappointing those who celebrated historic gains during the #MeToo era.

The ruling was based on legal technicalities and did not exonerate Weinstein's behavior, according to #MeToo advocates.

Weinstein, convicted in Los Angeles for another rape, will face retrial in New York, despite remaining in prison.

The court criticized the admission of uncharged sexual acts as evidence, deeming it an abuse of judicial discretion.

Quick Glance: ByteDance Would Consider Closing TikTok in US Over Sale, Sources Claim

ByteDance would prefer to cease TikTok operations rather than engage in a sale if all legal avenues are exhausted to combat potential legislation banning the platform in US app stores, as per four sources.

Despite TikTok's massive popularity with over a billion users, it remains unprofitable, contributing a small fraction to ByteDance's overall revenues and daily active user base.

ByteDance stated on Thursday in a release on Toutiao, a media platform it possesses, that there are no intentions to sell TikTok, in response to claims from The Information about ByteDance exploring sale scenarios for TikTok's US operations excluding the recommending algorithm for user videos.

As of December, ByteDance's valuation stood at $268 billion when it proposed a buyback of approximately $5 billion in shares from investors.
