▼ + stars: | 2024-08-27 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +1 min

Former President Donald Trump's economic proposals would increase federal deficits by $5.8 trillion over the next decade, almost five times more than those of Vice President Kamala Harris, which would add $1.2 trillion, according to a new pair of studies from the nonpartisan Penn Wharton Budget Model. The Trump report found that his plan to permanently extend the 2017 tax cuts would add more than $4 trillion to deficits over the next 10 years. His proposal to eliminate taxes on Social Security benefits comes with a $1.2 trillion price tag, while his pledge to further reduce corporate taxes would add nearly $6 billion. And her proposal to create a $25,000 subsidy for all qualifying first-time homebuyers would add $140 billion over a decade. Along with corporate tax hikes, Harris has said she supports the $5 trillion worth of revenue raisers contained in President Joe Biden's budget proposal for the 2025 fiscal year.

Harris called for ending taxes on tips while rolling out a series of populist economic proposals last week, echoing a policy Trump already supported. The vice president pointed to Trump’s opposition to a bipartisan border security and immigration bill, which turned Republicans against the measure. Vice President Kamala Harris gestures as she steps from Air Force Two upon arriving at Joint Base Andrews, Maryland, on August 23, 2024. As the sitting vice president, Harris’s response to an economic calamity or foreign crisis would be closely scrutinized. The spokesperson also said there have been more than 1,000 sign-ups for Students for Harris chapters across the country since the launch of Harris’ campaign.

“They are using food as a weapon,” a senior aid official told CNN. “No official travel authorization has been granted to humanitarian partners to implement activities outside of Sittwe township since November 2023,” a senior aid official told CNN. The UN aid officials made clear in their meetings, which have not been previously reported, that the status quo is unacceptable, the sources said. A World Food Programme (WFP) warehouse in Maungdaw was looted and burned in June, depriving that community of urgently needed food aid. A senior UN aid official in Myanmar blamed the funding shortfall in part on international apathy.

But the consequences — but the consequences of putting Donald Trump back in the White House are extremely serious. Just imagine Donald Trump with no guardrails, and how he would use the immense powers of the presidency of the United States. But Donald Trump believes a border deal would hurt his campaign, so he ordered his allies in Congress to kill the deal. Because, you know, they know — they know he is easy to manipulate with flattery and favors. They know Trump won’t hold autocrats accountable because he wants to be an autocrat himself.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is expected to end his troubled independent presidential campaign on Friday, according to three people briefed on his plans, and has been in talks to throw his support behind former President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Kennedy’s campaign said this week that he intended to address his “path forward” in a speech from Phoenix. Mr. Trump is expected to hold a rally later in the day in nearby Glendale, Ariz.On Thursday, Mr. Kennedy filed paperwork to withdraw from the ballot in Arizona, a spokesman for the secretary of state’s office there said. It could not immediately be determined if the campaign was taking similar steps in other states. But lawyers for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. also filed papers in federal court in New York on Thursday seeking to block the enforcement of a court decision that disqualified Mr. Kennedy from the state’s ballot.

The next day, three minutes before shots were fired toward Trump, local police radioed that a man was on a nearby roof. That warning never made it to the Secret Service, whose snipers didn’t know the would-be assassin was on the roof until shots rang out. “I can confirm that the Butler County ESU team made radios available to the Secret Service and that they were not utilized by the Secret Service,” Goldinger said in a statement. But the issue of how to directly communicate with local law enforcement remains unresolved. Evan Vucci/AP Secret Service agents rush the stage immediately after the shooting.

“You walk in, you say, ‘You want to quit?’ They go on strike,” Trump said of Musk, who is CEO of the EV car maker Tesla and SpaceX. It is illegal to fire workers who threaten to strike, because the right to strike is protected under federal labor law. “When we say Donald Trump is a scab, this is what we mean,” UAW President Shawn Fain said in a Tuesday statement on the new charges. But another major U.S. labor union, the Teamsters, has yet to make an endorsement. Tesla has clashed with union proponents for years, and Tesla workers remain without a union.
