For the first time in its century-plus history, the Anti-Defamation League is suing a Fortune 500 company, Intel , joining a case brought by the law firm of Wigdor on behalf of a former Israeli employee of the technology firm. Intel has operated in Israel for 50 years, where it has invested more than $50 billion, and remains one of Israel's largest private employers with more than 11,700 Israeli employees. The company estimated $8.7 billion in exports from its Intel operations, accounting for 5.5% of Israel's high-tech exports and 1.75% of the country's GDP, in 2022. When employers do not meet their legal obligations in protecting their Jewish employees, ADL will not hesitate to act." The former Israeli employee also recently sent an open letter to Intel's board of directors about his complaint.

Harris' labor split screen: From the Politics Desk
  + stars: | 2024-09-18 | by ( The Politics Desk | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
In today’s edition, we explore one positive and on negative development for Kamala Harris' support from organized labor. The influential Teamsters union on Wednesday declined to issue an endorsement in the presidential race, Megan Lebowitz and Alexandra Marquez report. Prior to the announcement, the Teamsters also released survey data showing more rank-and-file members preferred to endorse Trump than Harris. Still, Harris has won the endorsement of just about every other major labor union in the country (the International Association of Fire Fighters remains a notable holdout). Instead, the Trump campaign appears to be approaching this apparent assassination attempt as an opportunity rather than as a moment to reflect.

The Teamsters on Wednesday declined to endorse a candidate for president, the first time in decades that the union hasn't backed a candidate in the presidential election. It found that almost 60% of rank-and-file union members preferred to endorse Trump, while 34% backed Harris, according to an electronic member poll. The law forced union workers to accept a union contract that had been brokered by the Biden administration. The union endorsed Biden in 2020. The AFL-CIO, which represents dozens of unions and millions of workers, and the United Auto Workers union have each endorsed Harris.

In a statement, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung said, “President Trump is safe following gunshots in his vicinity. The former president is safe," the Secret Service said in a statement. As a precaution, the Secret Service moved him to safety, but there was no evidence that Trump was targeted.

Sen. JD Vance, former President Donald Trump’s running mate, on Sunday backed away from comments he made in August saying that Trump would veto a federal abortion ban if it came to his desk. “I’ve learned my lesson on speaking for the president before he and I have actually talked about an issue,” Vance told NBC News’ “Meet the Press,” just days after Trump publicly said he hadn’t ever discussed with Vance what he’d do if an abortion ban crossed his desk as president. “I didn’t discuss it with JD, in all fairness,” Trump said during Tuesday’s debate with Vice President Kamala Harris. She won’t even come close to it,” Trump added. He wants abortion policy to be made by the states.”

Can you can leave your estate to your pet?

CNN —Some people really do leave money to their pets. Estate attorneys told CNN they’re seeing more incidences of people making financial plans for their pets after they die. Twenty-nine states have enacted pet trust laws since 2008, and now every state, plus Washington, DC, has some form of guidelines, according to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. However, if a person names a guardian for their pet, they can leave money and property to that person. dpa/picture alliance/Eventpress/SipaFlorida attorney Peggy Hoyt, author of “All My Children Wear Fur Coats,” told CNN she urges her clients to leave comprehensive instructions for pet caretakers.

The White House wrote that image-based sexual abuse “has skyrocketed,” disproportionately affecting women, children and LGBTQ people. More nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfake videos were uploaded online in 2023 than all previous years combined. Franks said that while the voluntary efforts the White House highlighted are welcome, she does not see them as a substitute for legislation. Still, he said, the Biden administration’s and Vice President Kamala Harris’ focus on gender violence, online harassment and image-based sexual abuse was “transformative” compared with the work of previous administrations and the impact it has on victims and their advocates. On Google’s search engine and Microsoft’s Bing, NBC News previously found that nonconsensual sexually explicit deepfakes were available at the top of some search results.

In the first college admissions process since the Supreme Court struck down affirmative action last year, Asian American enrollment at the most prestigious U.S. schools paints a mixed, uneven picture. Columbia University — which, unlike the other Ivies, groups Pacific Islanders with Asian Americans — saw an increase of nine percentage points in its enrollment of Asian American applicants, while Brown saw an increase of four percentage points. It doesn’t mean that race is entirely ruled out of the admissions process, however. Poon, who is the author of “Asian American is Not a Color: Conversations about Race, Affirmative Action, and Family,” said that with race masked in the admissions process, concerns around biases are actually more prevalent. And it’s going to be difficult to determine, for example, why there were drops in Asian American enrollment at some schools as well.

Former President Donald Trump said Thursday that he will not participate in any future debates against Vice President Kamala Harris. "There will be no debate," he said in all-caps on his Truth Social website, before criticizing the vice president's debate performance. Trump has claimed the moderators were unfair and was initially noncommittal about participating in another matchup with Harris. In multiple TruthSocial posts, Trump had said he was considering debate offers from Fox, CBS and NBC. During an interview with "Fox and Friends" on Wednesday, host Steve Doocy said the network on Tuesday night had offered the Trump and Harris campaigns three potential dates in October for an additional debate.

Congress faces a Sept. 30 deadline to fund the government or a shutdown will begin on Oct. 1. Following Trump's comment, Johnson tied a six-month spending bill, or continuing resolution, to the SAVE Act, GOP-sponsored legislation that would overhaul elections. Democrats have said they would only support a "clean" spending bill to fund the government through March, past the presidential election and inauguration. By the way, while we're on that topic, we're rubber stamping more money for the open border," Vance added. He also said he preferred engaging in the traditional appropriations process, where "we actually go in and say, 'Why the hell are we spending money on that?

Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris for president may boost voter registration beyond Democrats’ "wildest dreams." The custom URL directs people to vote.gov, a website that helps visitors to register to vote in their state. The site also breaks down Americans' voting rights, explains election processes and provides a roadmap to frequently asked questions. Swift's Tuesday post, which has garnered more than 9.6 million likes, urged voters to do their own research and remember to register to vote. I also want to say, especially to first time voters: Remember that in order to vote, you have to be registered!

Cate Blanchett touched down in Toronto for a wide-ranging talk about creative conflict on film sets, making big-budget films “risky,” and why her six-time Oscar-nominated film “Carol” struggled to find funding. “We want the numbers,” Blanchett said (though she didn’t specifically name-drop “Disclaimer” maker Apple, which, like most streamers, tends to shield its audience metrics). “At one point, another director was going to do it, and he got sort of taken off the project,” Blanchett said. That prompted her to step away as well, until Haynes expressed interest in the project and got Blanchett back on board. … Anything that gives you the time to think long thoughts and think uncomfortable thoughts, because being an actor, it’s pretty uncomfortable a lot of the time.

In today’s edition, senior political editor Mark Murray looks at how Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are trying to position themselves as the candidate of change. Poll shows Trump winning the 'change' argument — for nowBy Mark MurrayIt’s not too surprising that the latest national New York Times/Siena College poll finds a razor-close contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris. In the NYT/Siena poll, 25% of likely voters said Harris represents major change and 15% said she represents minor change, while 55% said she represents more of the same. That’s compared with 53% of voters who see Trump as representing major change, 8% as minor change, and 34% as more the same. Breaking barriers in Delaware: State Sen.
