Harris has proposed expanding the small business tax deduction ten-fold, from $5,000 to $50,000. Five female entrepreneurs told BI that many small business owners aren't aware of the plan. Only one of them, she said, reached out to inform her about Vice President Kamala Harris' proposal to increase the small business tax deduction tenfold. Oswald thinks that small business advocacy organizations and financial institutions that provide loans should send the word out about candidates' proposals.

Harris has proposed expanding the small business tax credit from $5,000 to $50,000. She even mentioned a key proposal in her opening answer at the presidential debate: expand the small business tax credit 10-fold, from $5,000 to $50,000. Theodos called small businesses "essential" for the US economy, and Buttle said they're a crucial source of innovation. The Pew Research study found 61% of small businesses are majority-owned by men and, as of 2021, 85% were majority-white owned. "We're talking about community businesses, micro-businesses, businesses where the founder doesn't have as much net worth," Theodos told BI.

Andrew Caballero-Reynolds | AFP | Getty ImagesFormer President Donald Trump will participate in an FBI victim interview about his attempted assassination at a campaign rally, the agency told reporters Monday. The interview with Trump "will be consistent with any other victim interview that we do," an FBI official said in a press call. Republican candidate Donald Trump was evacuated from the stage at today's rally after what sounded like shots rang out at the event in Pennsylvania, according to AFP. Law enforcement recovered two explosive devices from the trunk of Crooks' car near the site of the Trump rally, and another from his bedroom. On the afternoon of the rally, Crooks flew a drone near the event area for about 11 minutes.

☆ Trump will meet FBI for victim interview in shooting investigation, agency says

CNN —Donald Trump has agreed to sit for a victim interview with the FBI, which is investigating this month’s attempted assassination, an agency official said Monday. “The interview of the former president will be consistent with any other victim interview that we do,” Kevin Rojek, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Pittsburgh Field Office, told reporters on a conference call Monday. The FBI wants to “get his perspective on what he observed, just like any other witness to the crime.”“It is a standard victim interview, like we would do for any other victim of crime under any other circumstances,” Rojek said. Crooks was “highly intelligent” and had a growing interest in shooting, Rojek said. But since they accessed the accounts, investigators found that the shooter was using the emails primarily to make online purchases.

According to the FBI’s analysis of Thomas Matthew Crooks’ laptop, Crooks searched how far Lee Harvey Oswald was when he shot and killed President John F. Kennedy in 1963. The search was on July 6, the same day the Trump rally was announced. “That’s a search that’s obviously significant in terms of his state of mind,” the FBI director added. The drone was in the air for approximately 11 minutes, and investigators believe Crooks watched a live feed from the drone on his phone. The FBI is investigating the shooting as both an attempted assassination and as a potential act of domestic terrorism.

Perched on the Corcovado – a 2,300-foot-high granite outcrop looming above the city – the Cristo Redentor (Christ Redeemer) statue sweeps its arms out in a warm embrace, welcoming visitors to the city of samba. “It is he who finds me when I arrive in Rio.”For over a century, the statue has been a symbol of Rio de Janeiro. Christ Redeemer bags are his top sellers, tied with those sporting the Sugarloaf Mountain. Deemed one of the seven modern wonders of the world, the Christ Redeemer is Rio’s most visited attraction, says tour guide Cristina Arroio. Maybe that’s the ultimate miracle of the Christ Redeemer.

This week, I’ve been spending time in what I’ve come to think of as the Anne de Courcy extended universe. De Courcy, a British journalist and prolific author of popular history books, writes about the past through the stories of women of the era. But she often uses groups of lesser-known (though usually still very rich) women to tell the story of particular periods or events. “The Fishing Fleet” chronicles British colonialism through a group of women who were both privileged and oppressed. As young women, they faced lives of poverty and isolation if they did not manage to marry, and legal and social subjugation even if they did, thanks to the repressive patriarchal system of the time.

Trump has also baselessly questioned whether Vice President Kamala Harris, whose parents are immigrants, was eligible. Sen. Marco Rubio, the Florida Republican who Trump also bested in that 2016 primary with taunts of “Little Marco,” also again endorsed Trump this week. It is actually Trump who faces more legitimate questions about his eligibility under the 14th Amendment. It is not true, as he alleges, that Democrats can take part in the GOP primary. “You have a group of people coming in that are not Republicans, and it’s artificially boosting her numbers here,” Trump said.

UBS paid 60% less than the beaten-down value of Credit Suisse shares just before its last-ditch rescue over a weekend.
