World in Brief

Welcome to the Bulletin, 

 * The Federal Reserve is set to raise interest rates by another quarter point
   at its May 2-3 meeting before an expected pause for the rest of 2023,
   according to multiple outlets.
 * More than 3,000 people were evacuated from apartment buildings in the Russian
   city of Belgorod after an explosive device was found. The bomb, which didn't
   explode, was discovered in the same area where Russia accidently dropped a
   bomb earlier this week.
 * Sudanese troops are facilitating the evacuation of British, Chinese, French
   and U.S., citizens and diplomats from the country, Sudan's army chief said,
   as fighting between two clashing military factions enters a second week.
   The U.S. Embassy in Sudan responded saying it's unsafe to evacuate its
   citizens at this time; a three-day ceasefire for the Muslim holiday of Eid
   failed as fighting continues today. 
 * A wave of GOP hopefuls are expected to enter the 2024 presidential race as
   early as next week. Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson will formally launch his
   campaign on Wednesday, while former VP Mike Pence and former New Jersey
   Governor Chris Christie are expected to make a decision in the coming weeks.
 * The Supreme Court protected access to a widely used abortion medication as a
   lawsuit challenging the FDA's approval of mifepristone heads back to a lower
   court. 
 * Russia is expelling more than 20 German diplomats in an alleged tit-for-tat
   move, according to Russia's Foreign Ministry. The ministry condemned Berlin's
   actions which it said resulted in another "mass expulsion of employees of
   Russian diplomatic missions in Germany."
 * Hunter Biden's lawyers and DOJ officials are set to discuss the ongoing
   investigation into the president's son next week, several sources with
   knowledge of the matter told CNN. The talks fall on the same week that
   President Joe Biden is expected to formally announce his 2024 reelection
   campaign.
 * The second weekend of Coachella is underway in Indio, California. Headliner
   Frank Ocean will not return, his team cites a leg injury, Blink-182 is set to
   take his spot.
 * In the ongoing war in Ukraine, Russian forces launched a missile attack
   against Kharkiv Saturday, according to city officials. Damage and casualty
   assessments are now underway. Meanwhile, Spain plans to deliver six Leopard
   2A4 tanks to Ukraine in the next few days, according to Foreign Minister Jose
   Manuel Albares.

Supreme Court Protects Access to Abortion Pill, For Now

TL/DR: "As a result of the Supreme Court's stay, mifepristone remains available
and approved for safe and effective use while we continue this fight in the
courts," President Joe Biden said in response to the decision.

The Supreme Court protected access to a widely used abortion pill, at least for
now, sending a lawsuit challenging the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA)
approval of mifepristone back to a lower court. The Supreme Court's most
conservative justices, Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, publicly dissented in
the late Friday decision. The ruling rejects a lower-court decision to suspend
the FDA's approval of the medication, which Biden said would have "undermined
FDA's medical judgment and put women's health at risk."

This marked the biggest abortion-related case to reach SCOTUS since Roe v. Wade;
its overturn has sparked several conservative states to limit or ban the
procedure. Mifepristone is the most commonly used abortion method in the U.S.
and has been used for over 20 years. The number of adults "dissatisfied" with
abortion laws reached a record-high of 69% in 2023, according to a Gallup poll.

What happens now? The case heads back to the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals,
which is scheduled to hear oral arguments on May 17. Vice President Kamala
Harris said the administration vows to defend women’s rights to abortion and the
FDA’s “ability to approve safe and effective drugs.” The battle for abortion
rights and slew of anti-abortion legislation in many states will likely
intensify in the coming months ahead of the 2024 election.

Higher Fees Ahead for Homebuyers With Good Credit

TL/DR: "In the short term, this may increase homeownership among the targeted
group, but I'm afraid it could decrease homeownership among the middle class,"
National Association of Home Builders CEO Jerry Howard told Newsweek.

Homeowners with good credit will soon notice a monthly rise in their mortgage
fees by as much as $60 as a controversial new Federal Housing Finance Agency
(FHFA) rule takes effect next month. The rule aims to provide better rates to
riskier borrowers by increasing fees to those with good credit. The change,
facing criticism for being unfair and potentially ineffective, is part of the
Biden administration's effort to assist first-time and low-income buyers while
closing the racial homeownership gap.

The rule follows an earlier move by the administration to lower mortgage rates
for first-time buyers. The White House estimates 850,000 homeowners will save
$800 this year under that earlier change. Mortgage rates remain high
following home-buying surges during the coronavirus pandemic followed by a
series of rate increases by the Fed to offset inflation, though the market is
starting to cool. Studies have shown that helping borrowers secure lower
mortgage rates through down payment assistance can open doors to home ownership
for millions of people.

What happens now? Experts worry this rule change, taking effect in May, could
deplete home-buying participation within the middle class. Though the new rule
aims to improve homeownership access for more people, GOP Rep. Michael Lawler of
New York said it “unfairly penalizes” Americans with high credit scores. The
National Association of Realtors is encouraging FHFA, which is standing by its
new rule, to avoid implementing fee increases for borrowers with good credit.

Jim Jordan's Crusade Against Alvin Bragg Hits Another Roadblock

TL/DR: The latest ruling temporarily blocking a subpoena ordered by Rep. Jim
Jordan of Ohio “reflects no judgment regarding the merits of the parties’
respective positions,” Judge Beth Robinson wrote.

The battle between Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio and Manhattan District
Attorney Alvin Bragg devolved into back-to-back court orders this week. Their
dispute, which one judge described as "political theater," was sparked by
Bragg's recent indictment of former President Donald Trump. Jordan wants to
subpoena former prosecutor Mark Pomerantz for questioning on his prior
involvement in the investigation. Bragg says Jordan's efforts are an
"unconstitutional attack by members of Congress."

An appeals court blocked the subpoena hours after a lower court ordered
Pomerantz to comply. As Jordan pushes for information from Bragg's office, other
congressional Republicans who support Trump are criticizing Bragg for bringing
criminal charges against a presidential candidate. While a handful of
Republicans have announced plans to challenge Trump for the 2024 nomination, the
former president  ontinues polling as GOP voters' top choice. Meanwhile,
President Joe Biden is reportedly planning to officially announce his bid for
re-election next week.

What happens now? Whether Pomerantz will ultimately be ordered to comply with
Jordan’s subpoena remains to be seen. Bragg and Pomerantz have until this
afternoon to further explain for the court their argument against Pomerantz’s
requested appearance before Congress. A three-judge panel will next review the
motion. The case against Trump is meanwhile moving forward as Trump’s attorneys
assess which motions to file as they fight the charges. Other investigations
involving Trump are also in progress.

U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Resigns Over Bullying Investigation

TL/DR: “I undertook to respect the outcome, and I keep my word,” Raab said after
his resignation. “But this decision is flawed and sets a dangerous precedent,
which will paralyze the ability of ministers to deliver for the British people.”

U.K. Deputy Prime Minister Dominic Raab has resigned following the culmination
of a protracted investigation into allegations that he bullied members of his
staff. In November 2022, an inquiry was set up by Prime Minister Rishi
Sunak after eight formal complaints were made concerning Raab's behavior while
acting as foreign secretary, Brexit secretary, and justice secretary over a
period of more than four years.

In the weeks before the probe, Raab committed to resigning from his role if the
claims made against him were deemed justified and did so Friday morning as the
findings were published. However, he later published a scathing article in the
Daily Telegraph in which he criticized the report, insisting his behavior in
government was a byproduct of him "setting high standards" and claiming that by
"setting the threshold for bullying so low, this inquiry has set a dangerous
precedent."

What happens now? Raab’s resignation will likely hurt an already beleaguered
Rishi Sunak. After years of scandal and upheaval across multiple Conservative
governments, Sunak’s self-cultivated image as a calming presence in Downing
Street is now under threat. The opposition Labour Party has already labeled him
as “weak” for failing to push Raab before he jumped. Furthermore, Raab is firmly
within the right-wing camp of the Conservative Party. His presence in the
government gave Sunak, seen as a more moderate figure, broader appeal across a
party currently experiencing a crisis of factionalism. For example, Raab is a
close ally of former PM Boris Johnson, whose ousting as leader in September last
year has left a deep divide within the party, and some lawmakers in the
pro-Johnson camp hold a grudge against Sunak for his role in bringing down that
government.

How Saudi Arabia Is Playing a Role in Drying Up The Colorado River

TL/DR: "One of the most egregious aspects of this water giveaway is that it is
shortchanging our schools and our kids," Mayes said. "We need to be maximizing
the amount of money that our schools receive from state trust land and the water
beneath it."

A farming scheme facilitated by Saudi Arabia in Arizona has come under fire amid
the state's ongoing water shortages. Since 2014, Fondomonte Arizona, a
subsidiary of the Saudi Arabian dairy company Almarai, has been using nearly
10,000 acres of farmland in the state to harvest alfalfa which is then shipped
back to Saudi Arabia for use as cattle feed. Lawmakers in the state have come
under fire for selling the land for just $25 an acre and not introducing
limitations to the volume of groundwater land owners can extract.

Around 88% of the western U.S. is currently experiencing severe drought, with
lakes supplying the Colorado River currently at all-time lows. Arizona is in a
particularly tricky position as it is not only supposed to rely on groundwater
as an emergency supply if other sources fail, but it currently has no way of
measuring how much groundwater is being used up by privately-owned farms such as
those run by Fondomonte.

What happens now? Newly elected Arizona attorney general Kris Mayes is seeking
to end the state’s arrangement with Saudi Arabia. In a 16-point plan to stop
what she calls the “Saudi water grab.” She believes the deal, facilitated by
Republican former state governor Doug Ducey, may have violated the Arizona
constitution’s “Gift Clause,” which prohibits the state government from giving
anything of value owned by the state to a private entity for less than their
face value. Mayes believes the market value of the land owned by Fondomonte is
around $242 per acre-foot, as this is the amount the Central Arizona Project
charges its customers for water use, and has said that she will attempt to
recoup the cost of the land from the Saudi-back firm and funnel it back into the
state’s school system.

Coachella Is Back. But Is it Worth The Hype?

TL/DR: The Valley Music and Arts Festival continues this weekend after
disappointed fans demand refunds following an underwhelming Frank Ocean
performance.

Coachella's second weekend continues through Sunday after the first ended in
backlash for alternative R&B singer-songwriter Frank Ocean. The hyped headliner
returned to the stage after a six-year hiatus only to deliver a lackluster
performance, dropping out of the second-week slot citing an ankle injury. Fans
were upset, as searches for "Coachella refund" increased by 697% after Ocean's
cancellation, according to Google data. This begs the question: is the festival
worth paying for potential disappointment?

While music festivals are by no means cheap, Coachella holds up its reputation
of being on the pricier side. $549 is needed for a general admission ticket. The
VIP experience doubles that price, starting at $1,069 pre-tax for advertised
amenities like air-conditioned restrooms, shaded seating, and food & drink
vendors that have received a lot of flak for their tagged-on expense. One TikTok
creator recently went viral after she reported paying $64 for two iced coffees
and two burritos. For more stories like this, subscribe to Newsweek's For the
Culture newsletter sent out every Tuesday and Thursday.

What happens now? Saturday and Sunday will see more performances from
star-studded music artists such as BLACKPINK, Rosalía, Björk and pop-punk trio
Blink-182, who will take over what was originally Frank Ocean’s set. Ocean
provided a statement to Rolling Stone on his performance, describing it as
“chaotic” and not what he “intended to show,” but assured fans he’d see them
soon. In case you can’t attend Coachella, Youtube will be live streaming every
performance for free, recently renewing a deal to platform the festival through
2026.

Not the news

'I Was in the Pittsburgh Trans Debate. Activists Had Me Scared for My Life'

I've spoken on college campuses at least a dozen times so far in my fledgling
career as a right-leaning journalist and political commentator. While I've faced
at least some degree of angry pushback on almost every occasion, I've never felt
physically unsafe—until this week.

When I agreed to debate the controversial traditionalist pundit Michael Knowles
on the question of whether the government should regulate transgenderism out of
existence—he made waves for calling for the "eradication of transgenderism from
public life" at the Conservative Political Action Conference—I knew it would be
controversial.

But I still wasn't fully prepared for what I was about to walk into.

The Full STORY
Talking Points
 * "I don't believe that he is a master genius who is sitting, planning where to
   move his pieces, and pulling the strings. The system is very complicated,
   it's not simplified.There are buddies of Putin, and there are enemies of his.
   They recognize that the alpha is still there, but he is weakening. Obviously,
   the weaker he is, the more frantic movements will happen." Vadym Prystaiko,
   Ukraine's ambassador to the U.K., told Newsweek, adding that Ukrainians want
   Putin dead, regardless of his successor.
   
   
 * "As a result of an NFL investigation, it came to our attention that a few of
   our players had violated the league's gambling policy. These players
   exhibited decision making that is not consistent with our organizational
   values and violates league rules. We are disappointed by the decision making
   demonstrated by Stanley and Jameson and will work with both players to ensure
   they understand the severity of these violations and have clarity on the
   league rules moving forward." Days before this year's NFL Draft, Detroit
   Lions General Manager Brad Holmes announced the team is severing ties with
   Quintez Cephus and C.J. Moore after the NFL suspended both players
   "indefinitely" for gambling violations.
   
   
 * "Today, I encourage all Americans to reflect on the need to protect our
   precious Earth; to heed the call to combat our climate and biodiversity
   crises while growing the economy; and to keep working for a healthier, safer,
   more equitable future for all." President Joe Biden said nature "demands
   action" in a proclamation that officially recognized Earth Day 2023.
   Environmental advocates have "called us all to conscience" and "inspired us
   to reject the false choice between a sustainable planet and a strong
   economy," Biden said. "Today we are continuing to prove that we can and must
   demand both."

What to watch
 * Former President Donald Trump is expected to address the Iowa Faith and
   Freedom Coalition spring kickoff event this evening. Trump is scheduled to
   deliver his remarks virtually at 8 p.m. CDT. Several other Republicans
   expected to challenge Trump for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination are also
   slated to attend.
   
   
 * Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, rumored to be considering a run for president,
   will not be in Iowa alongside other top Republicans but is instead expected
   to headline the Utah GOP Organizing Convention taking place today in Orem.
   
   
 * The second weekend of the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival continues
   at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. Featured artists include Bad
   Bunny, BLACKPINK, blink-182, and more. Skrillex, Four Tet and Fred Again are
   expected to fill in for Frank Ocean, who dropped out earlier this week, and
   close out the festival tomorrow.
   
   
 * Communities around the world will be holding tree planting and environmental
   cleanup events today in celebration of Earth Day.
   
   
 * Taylor Swift, The 1975 and The Cure are among many artists participating in
   Record Store Day by releasing new exclusive content and collections, which go
   on sale today at participating record stores.
   
   
 * The iconic white suit John Travolta wore in Saturday Night Fever is up for
   auction this weekend alongside several other movie props featured in Julien's
   Auctions and Turner Classic Movies' "Hollywood: Classic and Contemporary"
   collection. The auction starts at 10 a.m. PDT in Beverly Hills, California.
