One —  The UN Security Council will vote today on a U.S.-sponsored Gaza ceasefire resolution.  The resolution warns against an Israeli military offensive in Rafah, and strongly condemns restrictions that prevent aid from entering the Gaza Strip.  The resolution also calls for an immediate ceasefire in Israel's war against the Palestinian militant group Hamas, without a time limit, and condemns all acts of terrorism, including the Hamas-led attacks of October 7th.   

 

Two—  Michigan's unemployment rate is at three-point-nine-percent for February.  The Michigan Center for Data and Analytics says the state is maintaining a stable jobless rate for several months.  The unemployment rate in the state is now the same ad the national jobless rate.  

And number three — The Department of Justice is suing Apple for alleged antitrust law violations.  The DOJ along with 16 state and district attorneys general claims Apple has monopolized the smartphone market by blocking competitors from accessing hardware and software features of the iPhone.  Apple pushed back in a statement, claiming the lawsuit is wrong on the facts and the law.
