Deep dives
Republican presidential primary debate highlights
The fourth Republican presidential primary debate featured a smaller field and higher stakes. DeSantis and Haley, both vying for second place, faced strong scrutiny throughout the evening. DeSantis criticized Haley's stance on medical treatments for trans-identifying kids, while Haley accused DeSantis of lying. Ramaswamy launched personal attacks on Haley, challenging her knowledge of Ukrainian geography. Christie, who barely made the cut, aimed strong rhetoric at Trump. The debate focused on immigration, Israel, and anti-Semitism.
Disney's self-governing status audit reveals deception
An audit of Disney's self-governing Reedy Creek District, which ended nine months after Florida Governor DeSantis's decision, reveals issues with Disney's initial promises. The audit indicates that Disney deceived Florida with a bait-and-switch, failing to deliver on promises of building a city with affordable housing, schools, and hospitals. Instead, Disney focused on theme parks, hotels, and tourist-oriented services. Disney controlled the governing structure, leading to a lack of oversight and potential corruption. The audit also reveals that Disney extended benefits to employees, possibly as bribes, and hid these benefits from taxable income reporting.
Protests and attacks amid Israel-Hamas conflict
Protests and attacks against Jews have increased in the US during Israel's counter-offensive against Hamas. Demonstrations occurred at congressional hearings, college campuses, and public events. An anti-Israel protest in Philadelphia targeted a Jewish-owned restaurant, while a Hanukkah menorah lighting was canceled in Virginia due to its alleged implied support for the Middle East conflict. At Northeastern University, Jewish students faced an anti-Israel protest showcasing the call for an uprising against Jews. Journalists and activists reacted emotionally to a video compilation of Hamas atrocities. The video had a profound impact on viewers, emphasizing the need for peace and preventing the exposure of children to such violence.
