'Curb Your Enthusiasm' has captured the attention of Georgia's Secretary of State. The season premiere of the final season of the HBO comedy featured Larry David being arrested for violating Georgia's election integrity law for giving his friend Leon Black's aunt a bottle of water while she waited in line to vote on a hot day in Atlanta. He's now facing a looming trial on the series. The storyline must have made its way to the state capitol, because last month Georgia's Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, sent a letter to David addressing the plotline about the 2021 voting law.

Biden will call on U.S. Trade Representative Katherine Tai to triple tariffs on Chinese
steel and aluminum, NPR reports. .
Those tariffs are presently at about 7.5%.
While these Chinese imports "account for less than 1% of U.S. demand," the country's steel prices are 40% cheaper than America's, NPR reports. .
The White House is concerned that
this could prompt a surge of exports. .
China's policy-driven overcapacity poses
a serious risk to the future of the
American steel and aluminum industry, Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The president understands
we must invest in American
manufacturing, but we also have
to protect those investments and
those workers from unfair exports. , Lael Brainard, Biden's top economic adviser, via NPR.
The Biden administration also sent officials to Mexico to discuss preventing Chinese steel from entering the U.S. via its southern neighbor. .
I want to emphasize our desire to
cooperate and partner with Mexico
on addressing imports coming in
to the North American market as
a way of circumventing tariffs, Senior administration official, via NPR.
I'm not going to get ahead
of the diplomatic conversations
that have happened today and
that will be happening in the
days and weeks to come. , Senior administration official, via NPR.
But I think we're hoping to come to
a mutually acceptable solution with
Mexico, because this is a problem that
affects both of our economies, Senior administration official, via NPR.

Early in the morning on Wednesday, April 10, the night sky over New Jersey was unexpectedly illuminated by a massive fireball streaking across it. This remarkable event marks the third extraordinary natural phenomenon observed in the United States this week, following a rare earthquake and a total solar eclipse. Reports suggest that the sudden blaze of light may have been caused by a meteor hurtling towards the earth, possibly landing somewhere within New Jersey's Garden State or its surrounding areas.

DOJ Sues Apple , for Monopolizing Smartphone Market.
The Justice Department and 16 state attorneys general filed suit against Apple on March 21 in New Jersey, 'The Hill' reports. .
The complaint alleges that
the tech company constructed a
"dominant iPhone platform and ecosystem," .
and "rather than respond to competitive
threats by offering lower smartphone prices to
consumers or better monetization for developers,".
Apple enforced a "series of shapeshifting rules and restrictions" in the App Store.
It has deployed this playbook across
many technologies, products, and
services, including super apps, text
messaging, smartwatches, and digital
wallets, among many others, Via complaint.
Today’s lawsuit seeks to hold Apple
accountable and ensure it cannot
deploy the same, unlawful
playbook in other vital markets, Via complaint.
In its defense, Apple claimed that
the lawsuit "threatens who we are and
the principles that set Apple products
apart in fiercely competitive markets.".
If successful, [this lawsuit] would
hinder our ability to create the
kind of technology people expect
from Apple—where hardware,
software, and services intersect, Apple, via statement.
It would also set a dangerous
precedent, empowering
government to take a heavy hand
in designing people’s technology. , Apple, via statement.
We believe this lawsuit is wrong
on the facts and the law, and we
will vigorously defend against it, Apple, via statement
