There are 3 problems with #Tlaib:
1. She hasn't condemned #Hamas ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111352060712838336
2. She is lying about #Biden ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111351925761500532
3. She is rallying #Muslims in #Michigan to vote against Biden ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111352305821082802
Only (1) is covered by @baruch's explanation, and I can't fault Tlaib for that.
(2) and (3) are extremely problematic as they smack of #interference in #Election2024 and endanger #US and world #security.
110/ Rubin:
After affirming her pride in her work on the Trump Hotel Collection, and specifically the Doral and Old Post Office projects, but not extending that pride to her history with the family business more broadly, Ivanka Trump is off the stand for good.
The defense promised that their examination of Ivanka would move into tomorrow; now that it’s not the case, the principal law clerk asks if they have a witness for tomorrow. They don’t.
Polling places ran out of ballots in heavily Black communities. This is unacceptable and can’t be allowed to happen again.

Problems with Presley Dem loss in Mississippi: At least NINE Hinds County polls (which includes nearly 83%-Black Capital Jackson) ran out of ballots with thousands waiting to vote, and a circuit judge denied a request to keep polls open until 9 pm. https://www.wlbt.com/2023/11/08/circuit-judge-denies-request-keep-polls-open-ms-gop-seeks-overturn-chancery-ruling/
LA County just agreed to pay a reporter $700k after she was slammed to the ground and arrested by LASD while covering a protest -- making this likely the largest payout to a reporter in connection with covering a 2020 protest so far.
What's wild is that the county apparently had such a weak case they agreed to settle before a suit was formally filed. https://www.latimes.com/california/story/2023-11-08/l-a-county-to-pay-700k-to-radio-reporter-arrested-while-covering-2020-protest

This is what the Home Sec has unleashed with her divisive rhetoric.

Ivanka Trump is a lot younger than President Biden & she can’t recall anything.
Via Bloomberg's Seamus Hughes:
Scoop: A Florida woman was arrested today for threatening a federal judge. The target appears to be Judge Matthew Kacsmaryk who oversaw a case that asked him to place restrictions on the #abortion drug mifepristone.
#Ivanka testified that once the financing details had been worked out, all of her attention was devoted to its redevelopment. (not her new baby?) Just the hotel, though. She said the golf course design was all #Trump.
"My father has an affinity for golf.”
When #Doral was fully redeveloped, Ivanka said #DeutscheBank was pleased w/ the transformation, & changed some terms of the loan in Trump's favor.

People who say that antisemitism is an American problem, let's talk about the antisemitism in #Canada just in the last week.
In #Montreal there have been two firebombings of synagogues:

A week ago, a Jewish woman was punched out for holding a sign for one of the Hamas hostages:

And at Toronto Metropolitan University a Jewish student was told Hitler didn't finish the job:
EDIT: It seems there's been coverage by the CBC and Trudeau. Thanks for the updates.
And now to move onto a subject that is terrifying: HonestReporting's site has a 503 error at the moment but they've now exposed (Archive.is link) that the AP, CNN, NYT, and Reuters all had photographers embedded with Hamas on October 7. https://solzyatthemovies.substack.com/p/the-march-for-israel-and-questioning

Engoron to Kise:
🔥👉🏼"Your constant insinuations that I have different set of standards. It's just not true. [...] You can keep saying it if it makes you happy, that I'm favoring one side over the other. [...] I don't count them. I just make the rulings as I see them."
Engoron to Trump's attorney, after hearing a read-back of what he just asked Ivanka Trump:
"That's a ridiculous question."
If you, including #muslims worldwide, are against #genocide of #Palestinians and you haven't found your voice to condemn #Hamas unequivocally, you are NOT against genocide of Palestinians — you are FOR destruction of #Israel
FBI searching New Jersey neighborhood for suspect in Jan. 6 riot at US Capitol https://6abc.com/helmetta-new-jersey-manhunt-search-jan-6-riot/14027286/
103/ Klasfeld:
Ivanka is shown an internal GSA document that states:
"Financial statements provided by Mr. Trump were qualified by his accountants as not complying with GAAP."
👉🏼The defense seems to present this as evidence that statements on this deal didn't mislead.
Nobody knows anything. Nobody knows anyone. Nobody remembers anything. How do these people function? #TrumpCrimeFamily #DonaldTrump #Ivanka #NailThemAll
