Ukrainian-American Organization Demands Immediate FCC Investigation into SpaceX; Citing Musk’s Meddling in Ukraine, Erratic Behavior, and Illegal Drug Use
==========
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) has demanded an immediate investigation into SpaceX by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), citing Elon Musk's meddling in Ukraine, erratic behavior, and illegal drug use. The UCCA called on the FCC to determine if restrictions should be placed on Musk's control of Starlink or if the company's license should be revoked. The organization accuses Musk of using Starlink to support the military of a foreign power engaged in an illegal war and committing war crimes. The filing also alleges that Musk has engaged in illegal drug use, including LSD, cocaine, ecstasy, ketamine, and psychedelic mushrooms. The UCCA's filing seeks to hold SpaceX accountable and calls for a halt to all Starlink applications and for Musk to step down from any management or decision-making authority concerning the Starlink system.

A new law could ban TikTok in 2025. Here's what happens next.
==========
The Senate voted 79-18 to advance a bill that gives China's ByteDance up to one year to divest TikTok or face a US ban. President Joe Biden is expected to sign the bill. The bill gives the company 270 days to sell, with the possibility of an extension up to a year. The law is part of the ongoing US-China trade war and is seen as a response to national security concerns. TikTok denies the charges and says it would never share US data. ByteDance is 60% owned by institutional investors who may want to keep the app in the American market. The law could face legal challenges, including on first amendment grounds and for unfairly targeting a single company.

German retirees will get an inflation-busting pension increase this year
==========
Germany's Cabinet has approved a 4.57% rise in retirees' pensions from this summer, well above the current rate of inflation. The increase will take effect on July 1, the first time since 2000 that pensions in Europe's biggest economy have risen by more than the annual inflation rate, which in March stood at 2.2%. An increase last year of 4.39% in the former West Germany and 5.86% in the formerly communist east completed efforts to bring pension levels in the two parts of the once-divided country level more than 20 years after reunification. Germany has a population of 84 million, including more than 21 million retirees.

Oil prices steady after rallying on US stock decline, business data
==========
Oil prices steadied above $88 a barrel on Wednesday after rallying in the previous session on a surprise fall in U.S. crude stocks and a drop in business activity in the world's largest oil consumer. Brent crude futures fell 24 cents, or 0.27%, to $88.18 a barrel by 1024 GMT. U.S. West Texas Intermediate crude futures lost 33 cents, or 0.4%, to $83.03 a barrel. Perceived de-escalation between Iran and Israel could remove another $5-10 a barrel of "the still elevated geopolitical risk premium" in coming months, Goldman Sachs analysts said in a note, putting a $90 a barrel ceiling on Brent. U.S. business activity cooled in April to a four-month low, with S&P Global saying on Tuesday that its flash Composite PMI Output Index, which tracks the manufacturing and services sectors, fell to 50.9 this month from 52.1 in March. U.S. crude inventories fell by 3.237 million barrels in the week ended April 19, according to market sources citing American Petroleum Institute figures. Meanwhile, the Israel-Hamas conflict continues to rage with some of the heaviest shelling in weeks on Tuesday, while sources on Wednesday said Israel is preparing to evacuate Rafah ahead of a promised assault on the city.

USPS commits to rerouting Reno-area mail despite bipartisan pushback and mail ballot concerns
==========
The USPS announced on Tuesday it will follow through with its plan to reroute Reno-area mail processing to Sacramento. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has cast the permanent measure as a cost-saving move, but federal, state, and local lawmakers have complained about a lack of transparency in the process that could slow mail throughout the region. Democratic Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar previously said moving operations could slow the processing of mail ballots and potentially disenfranchise thousands of Nevada voters. The USPS stated that the business case supported moving the processes to California, as most of the mail processed in Reno is destined elsewhere. The Reno facility will stay open as an area that prepares mail before it's sent out. USPS will invest $13.4 million in the facility for renovations. There is no set date for implementation of the rerouting plan. Lawmakers have expressed concerns about traffic delays and harsh weather conditions in the Sierra Nevada region between Reno and Sacramento. Northern Nevada's congressional delegation, including Democratic U.S. Sen. Jacky Rosen, Democratic U.S. Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and Republican U.S. Rep. Mark Amodei, have opposed the move. Republican Gov. Joe Lombardo and the Washoe County Commission have also expressed opposition. Rosen and Lombardo have vowed to continue fighting against the decision.

Senate passes bill forcing TikTok's parent company to sell or face ban, sends to Biden for signature
==========
The Senate has passed legislation that would require TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, to sell the social media platform or face a ban. The bill, included as part of a larger $95 billion package, gives ByteDance nine months to sell TikTok, with a possible three-month extension if a sale is in progress. The legislation also prohibits ByteDance from controlling TikTok's algorithm. The bill now goes to President Joe Biden, who has expressed support for the TikTok proposal. The passage of the legislation reflects concerns over Chinese threats and the ownership of TikTok, which is used by 170 million Americans. Critics argue that a comprehensive federal data privacy law would be a better way to protect U.S. consumers.
