Northern California tornado

SFChronicle.com ties San Francisco's first-ever tornado warning to climate change: The tornado then hit Northern California, flipping cars and downing power lines.

Dailymail.com confirms San Francisco's tornado warning was no false alarm: An EF1 tornado hit Scotts Valley, wreaking havoc with 90mph winds.

BBC.com says the Scotts Valley tornado was unexpected yet powerful: It caused 4 injuries, downed power lines, and flipped cars.

NBCNews echoed the shock: Tornadoes rarely hit Northern California. The recent tornado, which injured 5, was particularly alarming.

CBSNews agrees: Scotts Valley's tornado, following a San Francisco weather warning, was a wake-up call about storm safety in the region.

Trump tariff debates

Trump's tariffs aim to boost U.S. economic strength by targeting countries with low military spending and unfavorable trade policies.

But NPR says these tariffs split U.S. business owners: Some see costs rising, others see a protective shield against foreign competition.

DW says tariffs on Canada and Mexico could mess up their economies and hurt America, too. The damage might be especially rough for Mexico.

KUNC dives into the domestic debate where manufacturers cheer tariffs as competition defense, while importers see inflation and rising costs.

Meanwhile, The Economist says some Chinese nationalists surprisingly admire Trump's tariff threats due to parallels with domestic challenges in China.

Luigi Mangione’s lawyer

Luigi Mangione’s lawyer, Karen Friedman Agnifilo, has an unexpected connection to Diddy through legal representation for his sex trafficking charges.

Additionally, Karen Friedman-Agnifilo’s personal ties extend to Diddy, as her husband, Marc Agnifilo, defends Diddy in a separate legal case.

While the Times Now News hints at Karen’s high-profile network, it emphasizes her indirect link to Diddy through her professional and personal circles.

Interestingly, Times Now also remarks on the couple’s legal involvement with high-profile clients, which has fueled public interest due to their marriage.

Lastly, The Baltimore Sun suggests that while these connections attract intrigue, Karen’s role in Luigi Mangione’s defense is her primary focus.
