WorkOperation Save Biden
  Last June, Barack Obama slipped into the White House to deliver a warning to Joe Biden. The state of Biden’s re-election campaign was shaky, Obama told him over a private lunch, according to a Democrat briefed about the meeting. Defeating Donald Trump would be harder in 2024. The mood of the country was sour. Persuading unhappy voters was going to be difficult. Biden needed to move more aggressively to make the race a referendum on Trump, Obama advised.

WorkWorkWorkTennessee Makes A.I. an Outlaw to Protect Its Country Music and More
 The use of A.I. technology — and its rapid fire improvement in mimicking public figures — has led several legislatures to move to tighten regulations over A.I., particularly when it comes to election ads. The White House late last year imposed a sweeping executive order to push for more guardrails as Congress wrestles with federal regulations. WorkAt Long Last, a Gold Medal for America’s World War II ‘Ghost Army’
 In his final mission, Mr. Bluestein said, the ruses devised by the roughly 360 soldiers of his battalion forced German commanders to spread their defenses thin in eastern France. That, he said, allowed the U.S. Army’s 90th Division — which was actually 10 miles north of the 603rd — to cross the Rhine River with less resistance. WorkAmerica First Legal, a Trump-Aligned Group, Is Spoiling for a Fight
 Mr. Miller, who declined to be interviewed for this article, is highly likely to return to a second Trump administration should the former president win in November.

 Reddit’s performance signaled that the public markets have an appetite for more tech offerings after public listings fizzled amid rising interest rates and economic uncertainty. Just over 100 companies went public in the United States last year, roughly a quarter of the number that went public in 2021, according to data compiled by Renaissance Capital, which manages I.P.O.-focused exchange traded funds. WorkU.S. Sues Apple, Accusing It of Maintaining an iPhone Monopoly
 By tightly controlling the user experience on iPhones and other devices, Apple has created what critics call an uneven playing field, where it grants its own products and services access to core features that it denies rivals. Over the years, it has limited finance companies’ access to the phone’s payment chip and Bluetooth trackers from tapping into its location-service feature. It’s also easier for users to connect Apple products, like smartwatches and laptops, to the iPhone than to those made by other manufacturers. WorkBiden Targets Private Jets in Hunt for Tax Revenue
 The ideas have drawn swift backlash from the corporate aviation industry, which argues that the proposals unfairly undercut American companies that rely on private planes to allow their executives to more easily visit factories and remote offices. WorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkWorkSixteen states sue US over ban on approvals for LNG exports
 The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Lake Charles, Louisiana. It claims the US Department of Energy’s pause will harm the economy and undermine efforts to supply foreign allies in Europe with steady supplies of LNG as the region seeks to wean itself off piped gas from Russia. WorkWorkWorkUnited States 3-1 Jamaica (Mar 21, 2024) Game Analysis - ESPN

WorkWorkWorkWorkIdaho Prison Gang Member and Accomplice Arrested After Hospital Ambush

WorkWorkU.S. Searching for a Way to Keep Troops in Niger
 Last week a high level-delegation of U.S. officials, including Ms. Wallander; Molly Phee, the State Department’s top Africa official; and Gen. Michael E. Langley, the head of the Pentagon’s Africa Command, traveled to Niger to meet with members of the military junta. WorkWorkTrump’s Deal With R.N.C. Prioritizes PAC Paying His Lawyers
 The new fund-raising agreement comes shortly after Mr. Trump has functionally taken over the R.N.C. as the presumptive Republican nominee. He pushed to install a new chairman, Michael Whatley, and to have his daughter-in-law, Lara Trump, as co-chair. WorkWorkWorkNo Labels, No Candidate: Rejections Pile Up as Time Runs Short
 No Labels is currently on the ballot in 18 states, the group says. Last year, it said it had already raised $60 million to put forward what it called a “unity ticket,” with one Democrat and one Republican. By the fall, the group’s president, Nancy Jacobson, told potential donors and allies that she had committed to choosing a Republican as the No Labels presidential candidate. No such person has emerged. WorkCivil Judgments Sting as Criminal Cases Slow
 He could get welcome financial news in coming days through a complex transaction in which his social media company, Truth Social, will go public, its share price having been bid up by Trump supporters. But it is not clear that his stake in the social media company can easily or quickly be turned into cash. And the cash crisis isn’t just personal. His campaign fund-raising is running well behind that of President Biden. WorkRobert L. Barry, 89, Diplomat Who Negotiated Pact With Soviets, Dies
 The agreement established that NATO and Warsaw Pact members would have to notify each other at least 42 days in advance if they were planning military activities with at least 13,000 troops or 300 tanks. In addition, any country planning military maneuvers involving 17,000 or more soldiers would have to invite nations that had participated in the Stockholm conference to observe. WorkU.S. Park Service Says to Leave Your Cash at Home, but Some Object
 The park service has been rolling out the policy for several years. In 2019, the service announced that it would only accept credit cards, debit cards and special park passes at Pipe Spring National Monument in Arizona. Similar changes came to Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Montana, then Death Valley National Park in California, and this month, Hovenweep National Monument in Colorado and Natural Bridges National Monument in Utah, will go cashless. (At many sites, annual passes can still be purchased with cash.) WorkWorkWorkLarge Grocers Took Advantage of Pandemic Supply Chain Disruptions, F.T.C. Finds
 Mr. Biden has also tried to tackle the issue by fixating on food companies, denouncing them for reducing the package sizes and portions of some products without lowering prices, a practice commonly called “shrinkflation.” During his State of the Union address this month, Mr. Biden again called on snack companies to put a stop to the practice.
