Chase Bank is urging its customers not to commit check fraud. This is not a "glitch" — it's a check fraud scheme and those who participate will be on the hook for all the money they withdrew once the check bounces. Although some on TikTok called the scheme a "glitch," Chase reminded its customers that this "glitch" is actually an invitation to commit fraud. "Regardless of what you see online, depositing a fraudulent check and withdrawing the funds from your account is fraud, plain and simple." "Chase Bank glitch?

But because I was a suspect, I needed to send daily updates about my whereabouts and activities to ensure I didn't flee. He agreed the next day but said I needed to send money for collateral to ensure I didn't escape while he was representing me.

Texas and 15 other Republican-led states sued the Biden administration on Friday seeking to halt a new program that could give legal status to hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants who are married to U.S. citizens. Filed just days after the program opened for applications, the lawsuit is the latest in a string of legal actions Texas has led challenging federal immigration policies and powers. The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, seeks a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to immediately suspend the program. In court filings, the states assert that the program is illegal because it exceeds the discretion that the executive branch has to set policy.

Wholesale oyster prices soared to triple digit highs in 2022 and only began coming down late last year. The sheer lack of wild-caught oysters is the biggest supply issue underlying market fluctuations, and industry experts say the problem can be traced back more than 10 years. Branch estimates that up to 60% of the current oyster supply comes from farms — a near-complete turnaround from 20 years ago, when 70% of oysters were wild-caught. Qiu echoed Branch’s assessment, adding that the remaining wild oyster reefs are only a small fraction of their historic numbers. “Climate change is making growth really difficult to be consistent … there’s just a whole lot of things that can go wrong with farming oysters,” Qiu said.

But Trump's renewed feud with Kemp illustrates how, at any moment, the former president can harm his own standing.

And the reason for the rocket breakup remains unknown. Everything in low-Earth orbit travels at 17,500 miles per hour, Crassidis said. It’s the second time one of these rocket bodies has experienced a significant breakup event in low-Earth orbit, according to Victoria Heath, associate director of marketing and communications for LeoLabs. “Events like this highlight the importance of adherence to existing space debris mitigation guidelines to reduce the creation of new space debris and underscore the need for robust space domain awareness capabilities to rapidly detect, track, and catalog newly-launched space objects so they can be screened for potential conjunctions.”
