📲 Investors See Market Losses as Trump’s Social Media Venture Misses Deadlines, Dips 93% in Downloads
The alternative social media platform backed by former US President Donald Trump has failed to live up to its own expectations amid a series of technical problems and public relations issues stemming from the app’s surprise wait list. The app has observed a 93% dip in weekly downloads since its launch week high of some 872,000 downloads.
Investment anxiety is mounting after the Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG) failed to achieve a late March deadline imposed by CEO Devin Nunes, a congressman-turned-executive who said the app was slated to be “fully operational” by the month’s end.
Nunes and TMTG are expected to expand the Trump-labeled brand beyond social networks, and into the realm of news, streaming, and even a cloud-computing platform.

Kansas appears unlikely to join other states this year in keeping transgender athletes from competing in girls’ and women’s school sports, partly because conservative state lawmakers want the ban to apply to elementary school students.
The Republican-controlled state legislature approved a proposed ban early Saturday with solid majorities in both chambers — but not the two-thirds needed to override an almost-certain veto from Democratic Gov. Laura Kelly. She rejected a similar bill last year, saying it would send “a devastating message that Kansas is not welcoming to all children and their families.”
At least 12 other states have enacted such laws, including Arizona and Oklahoma this week. The bill’s supporters said they are showing support for young girls who want to play sports and older girls who strive for college scholarships. Supporters of a proposed ban often refer to transgender athletes as “biological” boys, men or males.

🇷🇺 🇮🇳 🇺🇸 Carolyn Maloney, a top American Congresswoman, has praised Indian Prime Minister Modi's attempt to broker peace between Russia and the United States over the Ukraine crisis and hoped that his efforts would be helpful in restoring stability in the region.
"Well, I think that right now he [Modi] is trying to broker a peace between Russia and America with Ukraine. I think that's a very positive goal to have. We [India and the US] have strong economic ties, we have strong peace ties, and we have strong similar values, I would say we have the same form of government", Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney said.
On Friday, the Indian PM conveyed to visiting Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov that India stands ready to contribute in any way to the peace efforts to resolve the conflict in Ukraine and called for the early cessation of violence in that country.
