City Council Special Meeting - Mar 20 2023
 

 

 

Former President Trump wants the Manhattan District Attorney booted from office immediately. On his social media site Truth Social, Trump called Democrat Alvin Bragg "a danger to our Country." The call comes as a New York City grand jury considers whether to indict Trump in a case involving him and alleged money paid to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to cover-up an affair.        The CEO of TikTok is facing a grilling on Capitol Hill as the U.S. considers banning the popular app. Today, a House committee focused on concerns about the app's data privacy, protections for kids, and connection to the Chinese Communist Party. Members grilled the CEO over videos on the site like the "blackout challenge" that has led to death of some young children.        Don't cut the Pentagon's budget. That's the message the nation's defense secretary and chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff delivered to a House committee. General Mark Milley specifically cited a cut in military readiness should lawmakers slash the budget.        Protests are turning violent in Paris as folks again protest a measure to raise France's retirement age. Tear gas had to be used by authorities today in the French capital. France's president defended his decision to implement the bill, saying he doesn't enjoy the measure, but insisted he had to take action.        A bill that limits gender-affirming treatment care for minors is set to become law in Georgia. Republican Governor Brian Kemp signed the bill Thursday, saying it would "ensure we protect the health and wellbeing of Georgia's children." S-B 140 outlaws licensed medical professionals from providing patients under the age of 18 with hormone therapy or surgery related to gender transition.        Beyonce and Adidas are ending their creative partnership. The singer's custom clothing line Ivy Park fell 210-million-dollars below its projected sales in 2022. This year's sales predictions were shifted from 335 million down to just 65-million, but so far it doesn't look like the brand will reach those numbers.
