NEW: It is a major court day for Donald Trump as he returns to the Manhattan courtroom for the hush-money trial while the Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments over whether Trump is immune from prosecution.
NY TRIAL: On Day 6 of the hush-money trial, prosecutors continued questioning their witness, David pe**er, over the deal he helped broker with the adult film star.
DC SUPREME COURT: Meantime, The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in the blockbuster case over whether Trump can claim immunity in his federal cases. Trump’s argument is that the alleged crimes he is accused of were part of his official acts as president.
The justices, from expert analysts, seem skeptical of a full immunity claim but some justices seem to suggest that the president might have limited immunity. They could also punt back the decision with some instructions on what qualifies as immunity to the lower courts to sort out.
That would push the federal trials past the November election. A decision is expected by the end of June.

NEW: Florida Republicans Ron Desantis and Marco Rubio cruised to victory in Miami Dade, a previously democratic stronghold, in Tuesday’s election.
Desantis won Miami Dade County by more than 11 points and Rubio by nearly 10 points. This win could spell the end of decades of democratic dominance in South Florida.
In 2018, when first elected, Desantis lost Miami Dade by more than 20 points. In 2016, Rubio lost Miami Dade by 11 points.
Miami Dade had not voted for a Republican in the general since 2010 but Tuesday’s election was the first time Republicans won outright majorities in Miami Dade since 2002.
Other counties like Duval, Pinellas, Hillsborough and even Palm Beach flipped to Republican as well.

Portions of South Florida remain under both a Hurricane Watch and Tropical Storm Warning
Nicole had maximum sustained winds of 50 miles per hour and was moving northwest at 8 mph
Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis on Monday declared a state of emergency for 34 counties in the potential path of Nicole, including Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach.

NEW: The Brooklyn Nets suspended Kyrie Irving for at least five games after he defended a tweeted link to an antisemitic movie being played on Amazon.
The film “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America” has been described as antisemitic as it portrays “the true identity of the Children of Israel”
Irving got backlash for sharing the film’s link. He responded by saying he “meant no harm” and “opposes all forms of hatred and oppression. I am aware of the negative impact of my post towards the Jewish Community, and I take responsibility.”
He also said he would donate $500,000 to fight hate of all kinds
Irving went on to say that “I cannot be antisemitic if I know where I come from”
Despite that, he got suspended because “Kyrie refused to unequivocally say he has no antisemitic beliefs nor acknowledge specific hateful material in the film,” according to a Nets statement.
Irving was also under fire last year for losing out on half the 21-22 NBA season for not being vaccinated. He said that decision cost him millions.

JUST IN: Brazil’s leftist Lula WINS third term as president after a tight run off between himself and incumbent conservative Bolsonaro.
Bolsonaro becomes the 1st President to lose re-election attempt since Brazil re-democratized in 1985
The result of the runoff marks a major political comeback for Lula as last time he tried to run, he was sidelined because of corruption convictions.
Bolsonaro garnered 49.12% on Sunday, with 99.5% of the votes counted. It was a tight race.
Bolsonaro will likely challenge the results as he had been claiming for months that the election would be rigged.

12/10/2022

NEW: The third-largest rail union rejected a tentative agreement, setting up a potential shutdown of the U.S rail freight system next month.
The now-rejected agreement was created by President Biden’s labor team and labor union bosses back in September.
Rail workers had been demanding better benefits such as five days of paid time off. The White House-brokered deal included one additional paid day off for workers.
Labor analysts say that because the third-largest rail union rejected the proposed deal, it could mean that the two largest unions also reject their deal when it’s their time to vote on it.
All it takes is one rail union to trigger a strike which means 40% of the nation’s freight traffic will be halted.
This means empty shelves, lack of drinking water, electricity supplies, Amtrak routes affected, and a halt to the holiday shopping season.
The White House is aware of the latest rejected deal and is said to be continuing to work with labor union bosses to get a revised version of a deal.
If all else fails, Congress could intervene and impose a deal that the presidential emergency board came up with earlier this year.
Workers say they rather come to an agreement among themselves rather than have Congress intervene in the process.

NEW: Congressional Democrats unveiled a bill that blocks members, their families, senior aides, federal judges, and senior executive branch officials from trading stocks, which could get a vote after midterms.
Members of the judicial branch will have to file more details of financial disclosures and current incoming members will also have to either sell their stock or put it in a blind trust.
There is lots of opposition from top Democrats and all Republicans which could tank the vote if it ever comes to the floor.
Some analysts say that there is a loophole in this bill that allows congress to decide what qualifies as a blind trust. They say it allows Members to still make policy that can influence the assets inside this blind trust.
It is likely that this will be put on the floor after the midterms, known as a lame duck session, as members do not want to work on it before the midterms because they want to “work on the specifics of the bill” and say “the plate is full this week” with other bills.

IRS SURVEILLANCE?- You may be receiving a new tax form in your mail ahead of the tax season if you made an income of over $600, according to a new IRS rule.
Until the beginning of this year, tax form 1099-K was sent out to those income earners that made $20,000 or more through services such as PayPal, Venmo, and Airbnb.
But under this new rule, approved by Washington, small business owners, and your regular Ebay seller emptying out their closet will also receive the form once they pass $600 in profit.
Because of the rule, Ebay now requires sellers to input their social security number or their ITIN number once that sells makes $600 or more in sales.
The loophole to not be taxed is to provide the original receipt of the item to show Ebay that you are selling the item for a lesser price than you bought it originally (selling at a loss).
Small business owners and independent sellers say this will create an administrative headache and confusion across the board as many of them don’t separate personal transactions from business revenue on Venmo and other platforms.
Proponents of the new rule say it will raise billions of dollars for the federal government and will even the playing field online as not everyone paid taxes by selling items online.

BREAKING: FBI is confirming it sent agents into former President Trump’s Mar-A-Lago home on Monday, in a dramatic escalation in the various investigations into him.
The raid occurred from an investigation on alleged material that Mr. Trump is said to have brought with him to Mar-a-Lago, his private club and residence, when he left the White House.
According to the New York Times, the boxes “contained several pages of classified info.”
Trump called the raid “unprecedented” and said it only happens in “third world countries”. He said that the FBI accessed his safe which the FBI confirmed it was the one in Trump’s main office.
FBI said it had a search warrant and showed it to the security in Mar-A-Lago, resulting in getting access to enter the residence.
Top officials like FBI Director Wray and U.S Attorney General Garland were made aware of the raid before it occurred.
Mr. Trump was not at his home in Florida at the time of the raid, and was in the New York area.
Biden officials say they were “stunned” and did not know the raid was taking place.
The raid has prompted an outcry from Republicans. Top congressional republicans are calling for an investigation into the raid, while others want the attorney general to be called before Congress.
This is a developing story. It will be updated through the IG story.

NEW: Spanish prosecutors are looking for an 8-year prison term and a fine of more than $23 million euros for Colombian singer Shakira over a $14.5 million-euro tax fraud case.
The Spanish prosecutors’ announcement comes days after Shakira rejected a settlement offer from the prosecutors office to close the case.
Shakira said she rejected the offer because she is “fully confident of her innocence” and that the case is a “total violation of her rights.”
Prosecutors allege that Shakira failed to pay taxes between 2012 and 2014. They say Shakira was a Spanish resident in those years, even buying a house in Barcelona.
Shakira counters the prosecutors argument, saying that she paid $17.2 million euros to the tax office and has no outstanding debt.
No trial date has been set yet.
For context, $1 U.S Dollar=0.9783 euros.

NEW: Biden’s State Department has offered a prisoner swap to Russia.
The U.S has said they will exchange Viktor Bout, a convicted Russian arms trafficker if Russia returns two Americans, Brittney Griner and Paul Whelan back to the U.S.
Bout is serving a 25-year prison sentence for supplying weapons to a terrorist organization and conspiring to kill Americans.
U.S Secretary of State Antony Blinken said it is a “substantial proposal” and that he plans to speak to Russia Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in the coming days.
Russia, meantime, is saying there is no agreement yet to do anything. A spokeswoman said there was no “concrete results” in the negotiations.
The announcement comes days after WNBA star Griner testified at her Russian drug trial.
She said she did not intend to bring the cartridges with her to Russia and said her rights were not read to her when she was arrested in Moscow.

28/07/2022

BREAKING: As the recession definition game has been playing out across the political world, the second quarter GDP number has fallen 0.9%, throwing the U.S into a technical recession.
For the second straight quarter, the U.S economy has shrunk which meets the criteria for a definition-based recession.
This matters because in the first three months of the year (Jan-March) the GDP fell by 1.6%
GDP is a measure of how much money was created in an economy. It adds the value of goods and services that has been produced. It tracks the health of a country’s economy.
The new numbers come as record-high inflation and high interest rates is making everything more expensive and forcing consumers and businesses to pull back on spending .
Between the three month period of April through June, the economy shrank by 0.9%, despite the Commerce Department expecting the economy to expand by 0.5%
Following this report, the White House downplayed it saying that it was “no surprise” the economy was slowing down but said the “job market is historically strong, with unemployment at 3.6% and more than 1 million jobs created in the second quarter.”
The President and the Treasury Secretary are expected to address the public on this report later Thursday.

NEW: FL Gov Ron Desantis has sent state regulators to a popular Wynwood bar following a viral video showing a drag performer walking hand in hand with a little girl.
R House, in the heart of Wynwood, is at the center of this controversy.
The governor said that young children being exposed to drag shows is inappropriate and against state law.
So now, he is filing a complaint against the business saying that they could lose their liquor license if they do not stop holding family-friendly drag shows
In a statement, R House said that Desantis is a “vociferous supporter of Florida’s small business” and that it is all a “misunderstanding and that the matter will be resolved positively and promptly”

NEW: Russia has announced it will leave the International Space Station after 2024.
This is huge as the United States and Russia have been together in the ISS for decades and the end of Russia’s portion of the program will end that dual relationship.
For months, Russia has been threatening to leave the ISS following Western sanctions on Russia.
The current head of Russia’s space board said the decision to leave has been made and that they planned to build its own space station.
NASA was shocked by the announcement but said they had not received an official notice from Russia.
It is unclear what will happen to the ISS without Russia as some space experts say the Station cannot operate without that dual partnership.
NASA is saying that they want to “continue together as a partnership to continue operating the space station through the decade.”

FROM HAVANA: In an effort to boost its economic circumstance, Cuba’s authoritarian government announced 75 new economic measures on Thursday.
Among the measures were an authorization of global private businesses to invest in Cuba’s “private” sector and resume its official exchange market for the dollar.
Officials also announced they will cut custom fees from 100 percent to 30 percent and lift restrictions on some goods travelers can bring to the island like cellphones and computers.
The announcement comes as Cubans inside the island face blackouts, and shortages of basic necessities like food, and medicine.
The Cuban economic minister said that while foreign businesses will be able to invest in the “private” market, the Cuban government will still be able to “set priorities and limit which private businesses will be allowed to receive foreign investment”
It is unclear when these new measures will go in effect as the economic minister said the rules were still being worked out.
The “private” market in Cuba began last year when they allowed small and medium sized businesses to be created by Cubans.
Republicans slammed the move by Cuba. Florida Governor Ron Desantis said that Floridians should be aware that if “they invest in this private market, the money will go to the pockets of the Cuban mafia”
President Joe Biden, earlier this year, gave approval for a U.S company to begin investing in Cuba’s private market. With this announcement by Cuba, that American company will now be able to do just that.

NEW TONIGHT: Miami Dade School Board rejected two middle and high school sex-ed books on Wednesday after parents were split on whether their kids should be taught the material.
The rejected material came from two books aimed at 6-12 graders. One book was for middle schoolers, and the other book was for high schoolers.
The school board was going to go ahead with the textbooks in April, but concerned parents appealed that decision and requested a second hearing. The school board complied.
After the hearing, a hearing officer advised the school board to move ahead. The school board, in a last minute turnaround, chose to not proceed with the books.
Concerned parents said the middle school books were not age appropriate as they taught students about abortion, emergency contraception.
Parents were also concerned about the high school book as one chapter taught students that those under 18 can talk to doctors without parents in the room.
The concerned parents said that isn’t age appropriate for children to learn and argued that Miami Dade should reject it.
They said they aren’t against sex-ed, but rather they want more parental involvement in the process of choosing books.
On the other side, some parents were shocked at the opposition. One mother believes sex-ed is necessary and said that if kids aren’t taught in the classroom, they will be taught on the internet.
The mother said she had reviewed the material in the book and found it “absolutely age appropriate”
The schools are required by the state to teach sexual education, so this decision by Miami Dade means the district will be out of compliance for the second year in a row if they do not have a book to teach from.

NEW TODAY: The Senate has advanced a bill that boosts the U.S Semiconductor industry and gives the U.S a competitive edge against China.
The bill is called “Chips+” and it is a slimmed down version from the original USCIA after neither the House nor Senate could find compromise on that big bill.
What’s inside the bill?
-$39 billion to build domestic semiconductor facilities
-$11 billion for advanced research and development
-$2 billion for national defense tech
-$80 billion for the National Science Foundation
-Billions for the Energy Department, STEM programs, and research grants.
The bill could get a floor vote in the next few days. If it gets over 60 votes, which is expected, than it goes to the House where it is unclear when Dems could vote on it.

NEW TONIGHT: A stimulus check could be headed your way. This time from Florida Governor Ron Desantis.
Under a new initiative from the Desantis administration called “Hope Florida- A Pathway to Prosperity”, thousands of Florida families will receive a check of $450 dollars per child.
Who is eligible? - According to FL’s First Lady Casey Desantis, eligible families include foster families, adoptive families, and single mothers.
Checks have started to be mailed to those eligible families and should arrive in the next few days.
Florida’s First Lady said the check could be used to pay for gas, diapers, school supplies, or anyway to fit the recipients needs.
