☆ How major retailers Amazon, Best Buy, Costco, Home Depot prepared for the port strike
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-01 | by ( Paulina Likos | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +6 min

Club holdings Amazon , Costco , Home Depot , and Best Buy have been preparing for the port strike for months — attempting to blunt any fallout it might have on their abilities to get goods from overseas. They added that 60% to 70% of those imports arrive at East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. To put things in perspective, for retail goods, the East Coast ports are less utilized than the West Coast ports, Basham said. Due to its size, however, Best Buy often gets priority from its shippers, which could help secure goods faster than smaller competitors.

Shipping containers sit stacked in the Port of Newark on September 30, 2024 seen from New York City. Billions in trade came to a screeching halt at U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast ports after members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) began walking off the job after 12:01 a.m. In a video posted to an ILA Instagram account, Daggett addressed union workers at Maher Terminals in Elizabeth, New Jersey. "Helene caused ports to delay openings at the ports of Charleston and Savannah, as well as power losses at intermodal facilities in Savannah, Charleston, and Atlanta," said Wray. Both economists and logistics executives say the impact of the strike depends on how long the work stoppage lasts.

Clips of the exchange and other debate moments impressed Trump, sources told CNN, and played a role in Vance securing a race-defining endorsement from the former president. Vance, now the Republican nominee for vice president, will join his Democratic counterpart, Minnesota Gov. Vance, at just 40 years old and two years into his political career, is still a largely unproven commodity. It’s a skill that matters deeply to Trump, one Vance first picked up in the Marines when he was assigned to the public affairs office. While Harris and Walz have approached the press with extreme caution, Vance has made it a point to appear accessible.

Harris, during her trip to the key swing state of Arizona, lambasted Trump for his role earlier this year in tanking a border security bill that was the product of months of bipartisan negotiations. “It was the strongest border security bill we have seen in decades. The Democratic offensive on immigration and border security is an attempt to cut into one of Trump’s clearest-cut political advantages.

Trump alluded to his current polling edge Thursday as he slammed his rival ahead of her visit to the border.

Sorokin was convicted in 2019 of duping friends and financial institutions out of hundreds of thousands of dollars while masquerading as a German heiress. “DWTS” alum and choreographer Maksim Chmerkovskiy called her a “professional liar” and mocked her dancing on a TMZ podcast. “Anna is fascinating to a lot of people… so I think there is an inherent curiosity about her,” Green said. Her crimes were “not right,” Sosa said, but nobody “deserves the amount of hate she’s getting.” Sorokin “deserves a second chance,” he asserted. Sorokin said she probably won’t keep up with the show as it continues, but she hopes actor Reginald VelJohnson will win.

Right-wing Israelis with relatives held hostage by Hamas in the Gaza Strip, and their supporters, rally in Jerusalem, on Sept.ember 19. Families of Israeli hostages still held in Gaza have held regular protests across the country, piling pressure on the government to secure their release. A group that represents the relatives of some hostages protested near the Knesset in Jerusalem on Thursday evening, asking to support the families of abductees. Tikva (Hope) Forum — a smaller, right-wing group not associated with the larger Hostages Families group — said they “want our abductees home and quickly, only crushing Hamas will bring them back.”The families from the Tikva Forum are publicly against a ceasefire deal. Riki Baruch, sister-in-law of Israeli hostage Uriel Baruch, said she appealed to the government to “use all levers of pressure on Hamas, including stopping the humanitarian aid.”

CNN —Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that “the Jewish people” would be partially to blame if he loses in November, escalating his persistent campaign trail criticism of Jewish voters and insisting that Democrats hold a “curse” over them. But the former president appeared preoccupied with what he described as ingratitude from Jewish voters, whom he said should be supporting him in greater proportions because of his record on Israel. Still, Trump has repeatedly cast his rival as “anti-Israel” and “anti-Jewish.”“You have to defeat Kamala Harris more than any other people on earth,” Trump said, addressing the Jewish voters in the audience. You want to control your politicians, that’s fine,” Trump said at the Republican Jewish Coalition in December 2015. “I’m a negotiator like you folks, we are negotiators.”But Trump’s open frustration with Jewish voters became a more frequent theme in the aftermath of his 2020 election defeat.

I say that we’re creating a story, meaning we’re creating the American media focusing on it. Absolutely not,” DeWine said on ABC’s “This Week” when asked if he’d seen any evidence of immigrants eating pets. DeWine acknowledged that Springfield was having some issues adjusting to the influx of mostly Haitian immigrants through the federal immigration program, but he said officials were working on them.

CNN —Donald Trump wanted to spend this week attacking one of Democratic rival Kamala Harris’ biggest political vulnerabilities. The promotion of the claims overshadowed a series of speeches aimed at the economy and blaming Harris for border security failures. However, during Tuesday’s debate, Trump’s attacks on Harris over immigration veered into the outrageous, as he falsely claimed that migrants are eating dogs and cats in Springfield. Democratic National Committee rapid response director Alex Floyd on Friday highlighted Trump’s relationship with Loomer and other controversial allies. We’re going to be spending a lot more time in Pennsylvania,” Harris told reporters at a bookstore in Johnstown on Friday.

Rancho Palos Verdes, California CNN —Former President Donald Trump said Friday that he doesn’t control far-right agitator Laura Loomer, whom he described as a “free spirit” and “supporter.”“Laura’s been a supporter of mine, just like a lot of people are supporters, and she’s been a supporter of mine. I’m not sure why you asked that question, but Laura is a supporter. Pressed by Holmes that it’s his allies who have expressed concern, Trump said, “Look, I can’t tell Laura what to do. She’s got strong opinions, and I don’t know what she said, but that’s not up to me. She’s a supporter,” Trump said.

Appearing dazed and flustered by an unfamiliar and fast-changing political landscape upended by Harris becoming the Democratic presidential nominee, Trump has unleashed a torrent of mean-spirited missives, race-baiting insults and conspiratorial broadsides that even close allies and donors have acknowledged as unproductive in recent days. Loomer told CNN of the post: “It’s interesting how the media wants to, once again, falsely accuse me of being a racist. This is a woman who is on video cooking Indian food with Indian celebrities talking about how she likes cooking with curry.”Asked by Raju about Loomer, Greene said on Thursday, “I have concerns about her rhetoric and her hateful tone. And that doesn’t represent MAGA as a whole.”“I just felt like it was time to call it out. In May, Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett criticized Greene, calling her “racist,” following a tense House Oversight markup that quickly devolved into personal attacks.

Standing near them was another figure whose sway with the Republican nominee also cannot be discounted: the far-right provocateur Laura Loomer. Her anti-Muslim social media posts eventually earned her a ban from Twitter that lasted until billionaire Elon Musk bought the website, now known as X, and restored her account. She knows his personal number and has utilized it, one source familiar with the relationship told CNN. When Trump landed in Philadelphia on Tuesday before his debate against Harris, Loomer was among the close allies seen deboarding his private plane. In August of last year, Trump even suggested the campaign hire Loomer for an official role, sources told CNN at the time.

This interest in the Olympics — and the joy it brings — are felt globally, but especially in the country at the heart of the games, France. Here's why you might feel so happy watching the Olympics and how you can find that joy after the closing ceremony. The number of athlete backstories we learn are multiplied at the Olympics, which makes us that much more invested. That might look like watching the same show or reading a book together, or even more hands-on tasks like gardening, says Lyubomirsky.

☆ Star Power Elevates Pin Trading, the Unofficial Sport of the Olympics

Since the Paris Olympics kicked off, a pair of tiny orange Dutch clogs, the unofficial pin of the Netherlands team, has become a coveted currency among the athletes. Nearly an inch long and dangling from a butterfly clutch, the pin exchanged hands between Yara ten Holte, a Dutch handball player, and Ilona Maher, the U.S. women’s rugby star, who gleefully flaunted her prize on TikTok. “One thing about the Olympic Village is, trading pins is serious business,” Ms. Maher said last week in a post that was viewed more than 2.7 million times. “We don’t mess around trading pins, OK?”Trading in pins — those tiny, shiny emblems made by sports delegations, federations, countries and the media outlets covering them — is a longstanding tradition at the Olympics. But the activity was subdued during the pandemic, as restrictions at the Summer Games in Tokyo and the Winter Games in Beijing prevented athletes, fans and pin collectors from getting anywhere near one another.
