YouTube Reports on Your Videos Watched, Supreme Court Retirement, Trump Gets Gagged, VP Harris Fouls Out. RP Headline Update 4.7.24

Key Topics:

• In the world of online privacy, there's quite the storm brewing. US federal law enforcement has pushed the boundaries yet again, folks. You're not gonna believe this, but Google, that's right, the tech behemoth, has been slapped with orders to cough up the names of people watching specific YouTube videos. Sounds like something out of a dystopian novel, doesn't it? 
• In Supreme Court news, the political left is abuzz. Yup, they're stirring the pot and casting their gaze on the highest bench in the land. Why, you ask? Well, it's all about timing and the ticking clock of the 2024 election. Justice Sonia Sotomayor, a lioness of the liberal cause, is facing growing calls to consider retirement. 
• In the latest twist of the New York hush money case, Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan just said 'no more talkie' to none other than former President Donald Trump, tightening up that gag order already in place. Now, here's where the plot thickens – previously, The Donald could not yap about the jurors, the witnesses, or the prosecutors, but this fresh order goes further, folks. It's got Trump's lips sealed tighter, even barring bad-mouthing the family members of the court staff and the judge himself.
• Ladies and gentlemen, in the mix of politics and sports, there are bound to be some turnovers— and this time, it’s Vice President Kamala Harris committing the foul. In a recent statement that left many scratching their heads, Harris dropped the ball when she told an interviewer that women’s college basketball teams were only first allowed to have March Madness brackets in 2022. The Vice President aimed for a slam dunk in boosting the progress for women's sports, but ended up airballing her facts, missing the mark by a solid forty years, as the women's NCAA tournament actually began way back in 1982.
