Military Generation Z recruiting woes worsened by TikTok ban and Big Tech competition
The U.S. military is seeking to attract the youngest generation to enlist, but technology troubles have hampered the Department of Defense's ability to recruit effectively.
A ban on TikTok from government and military devices has limited the department's utilization of the growing platform popularized by Generation Z, with an estimated 64 million users between the ages of 16-34 in the United States. And lagging pay in the military can't keep pace with the prospect of technology sector opportunities that younger people seek out.

Three takeaways from Virginia 2023 primary that signal tough 2024 battle
Virginia's 2023 primary election sets up the state for a party showdown in 2024 because both Democrats and Republicans believe they have a viable path to wrestle control away from each other and take over the legislature.
Gov. Glenn Youngkin (R-VA) and his Republican allies are pouring large amounts of resources in the form of donations and ad campaigns blasting Democrats on everything from crime to the economy. On the other side, Democrats are leaning on social issues such as abortion and major donations to gain back the seats lost to the GOP in 2021.

WEX MIN: Schiff censure is “badge of honor,” TikTok data stored in China, 73% disapprove Biden border
The House advanced a motion to censure Rep. Adam Schiff, seeking to condemn the California lawmaker for his claims of collusion between Russia and Trump. The move could come back to haunt Schiff as he runs to replace retiring Sen. Dianne Feinstein.

The Pew research survey found views on the government's ability to manage the border have worsened during Biden’s first two years in office, with negative ratings increasing from 68% to 73%.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito preemptively rebutted claims made in a report alleging he failed to disclose a fishing vacation from a hedge fund billionaire despite the man appearing before the court in a number of cases years later.

Alito defended himself against these accusations hours before the report was posted, in an op-ed for the Wall Street Journal.
