Trump reportedly screamed at Rupert Murdoch over Fox News' early Arizona call

Posted: 04 Nov 2020 07:10 PM PST

Trump reportedly screamed at Rupert Murdoch over Fox News' early Arizona callAs of Wednesday night, Fox News had one of the most pessimistic maps for the Trump campaign, with the network being one of two outlets to call Arizona for Joe Biden. (The Associated Press is the other.) And you'll never guess who was rumored to be furious that it was his preferred news channel that happened to be the bearer of bad news."According to a source, [President] Trump phoned Fox owner Rupert Murdoch to scream about the call and demand a retraction" after Fox's ruling was made just before 11:30 p.m. on Tuesday night, Gabriel Sherman reports for Vanity Fair. "Murdoch refused, and the call stood."Biden is still ahead of Trump in Arizona, which has 11 electoral votes, meaning that if he wins the state, he'll be a mere six Electoral College votes away from the winning 270. But as more votes came in from Maricopa County on Wednesday night, Trump appeared to be slowly chipping away at his lead.Still, "Murdoch has been telling associates for months that Trump would lose the election," Vanity Fair reports. And the network's coverage isn't going over well with the Trump team, which is used to Fox being on their side. "Fox News committed news malpractice and voter suppression last night," former Trump adviser Sam Nunberg vented to Sherman. "There's got to be a change there or there will be major consequences. Chris Wallace wouldn't shut up the whole night! I switched to CNN anytime he came on."More stories from theweek.com Fox News brings Trump to his knees The left just got crushed Anderson Cooper: Trump is an 'obese turtle on his back, flailing in the hot sun'

Pubs and restaurants warn they face being wiped out and accuse SNP of ignoring businesses

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 10:24 AM PST

Pubs and restaurants warn they face being wiped out and accuse SNP of ignoring businessesScotland's hospitality firms face being wiped out by Nicola Sturgeon's "illogical" five-tier lockdown system unless her government stops ignoring a blueprint that could save them, industry leaders said on Thursday. Stephen Montgomery, of the Scottish Hospitality Group (SHG), told The Daily Telegraph that the SNP administration must start heeding proposals to help pubs and restaurants stay solvent, which the industry presented on Monday last week. None were included in Ms Sturgeon's five levels of restrictions, unveiled three days later, and he expressed frustration that a minister with whom the industry held talks appeared not to have even read them. Mr Montgomery and Nic Wood, whose Signature group includes 22 pubs, warned the SNP government did not understand the crisis facing the industry or that "there will be nothing left" if ministers do not give them a "seat at the table" with input into key decisions.

Susan Collins Says Challenger Sara Gideon Has Conceded Maine Senate Race

Posted: 04 Nov 2020 10:46 AM PST

Susan Collins Says Challenger Sara Gideon Has Conceded Maine Senate RaceSenator Susan Collins (R., Maine) told reporters on Wednesday afternoon that opponent Sara Gideon called her to concede Maine's Senate race.While the race has not been called by the Associated Press, Gideon's concession indicates that Collins will be reelected to a fifth term in the Senate. Collins has apparently won the race despite polls showing Gideon, currently Maine's House speaker, with a competitive edge. Every Maine Senate poll collected by RealClearPolitics showed Collins trailing Gideon, right up to the last weekend before the election."Let me say, what an extraordinary honor it is to represent the great state of Maine, and to know that I will have the opportunity to serve all of Maine for the next six years," Collins told supporters in a victory speech. "I'm going to work to improve life for everyone in the state of Maine."Collins danced with supporters on Tuesday night as election results started trickling in.

Trump allies reportedly discussing who will have to break the news of his potential loss

Trump allies reportedly discussing who will have to break the news of his potential lossAs former Vice President Joe Biden appears on the cusp of potentially winning the presidency, President Trump's allies are reportedly discussing how to tell him that he may have lost his re-election bid.No winner in the presidential race has been projected yet, but as Biden pulls ahead in Pennsylvania, CNN reports that those around Trump are discussing who might have a tough discussion with the president, who has baselessly claimed he is being cheated out of a victory."People around Trump are working to identify who might be able to communicate to him the stark reality," CNN reports. "There has been talk of potentially Jared Kushner or Ivanka Trump, though their willingness to lead a difficult intervention wasn't clear."One way of doing so that has been discussed, CNN writes, is "framing potential conversations with Trump around the idea of preserving his brand for life after being president," and The New York Times also reports that Republicans are discussing how to bring up with Trump "what leaving quietly could mean for his family, his business and his own ability to remain in politics."But according to CNN, Trump has "given virtually no thought" to the idea that he might not win a second term, and that idea was "not discussed widely among his team." He also reportedly does not have a concession speech prepared.Trump has reportedly told people he does not intend to concede the race, and Axios' Jonathan Swan writes that "nobody I have spoken to on the campaign or in the White House believes that Trump would ever publicly acknowledge a loss, even long after the election is certified." The Times similarly reports that while some believe Trump could ultimately concede if a loss becomes clear, "he will most likely never publicly accept the result" of the election.More stories from theweek.com The day the world stopped paying attention to Donald Trump Fox News brings Trump to his knees Trump is reportedly 'taken aback' that his rants against mail-in ballots may have hurt him

Two million face unemployment when furlough ends in March, economists warn

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 07:34 AM PST

Two million face unemployment when furlough ends in March, economists warnUp to two million people who have been furloughed unnecessarily are facing unemployment in March, the Institute for Fiscal Studies has warned. Paul Johnson, the director of the economic research institute, claimed that millions of Britons "in sectors that have not been particularly affected" by the coronavirus pandemic risk losing their jobs when the scheme comes to an end. It comes after Rishi Sunak extended the job retention scheme across the UK until the end of March to "give businesses security through the winter". However, Mr Johnson warned: "I think there's a real concern here that we know that there were probably more than two million still on furlough in October, many of whom in sectors that have not been particularly affected by this crisis, who we might think will continue to on furlough right through until March and then the jobs won't be there at the end." The Chancellor also announced support for the self-employed on Thursday, with the next income support grant for November to January increasing to 80 per cent of average profits up to £7,500. Mr Johnson warned that the self-employment scheme was "wasteful on the one hand and badly targeted on the other". "A large amount of that money is going to self-employed people who have seen little or no reduction in their incomes whilst a million or more have seen big reductions in their incomes and are getting no support at all," he added.

The USPS can't account for 300,000 absentee ballots, but that's probably not as bad as it sounds

Posted: 05 Nov 2020 05:12 AM PST

The USPS can't account for 300,000 absentee ballots, but that's probably not as bad as it soundsU.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan was furious Wednesday that the U.S. Postal Service had defied his order to sweep postal processing facilities in 15 states Tuesday to find missing absentee ballots and deliver them on time. The USPS had said in a court document that 300,000 ballots had been scanned into facilities but not scanned out, suggesting they were misplaced.Instead of complying with Sullivan's order, the USPS kept to its own schedule, raising concerns that tens of thousands of ballots would not be delivered in time to be counted. "It just leaves a bad taste in everyone's mouth for the clock to run out — game's over — and then to find out there was no compliance with a very important court order," Sullivan said. He suggested he would demand a deposition from Postmaster General Louis DeJoy.Notably, there were 81,000 untraced ballots spread across postal districts in key swing states with a combined 151 electoral votes, The Washington Post reports, though, according to its analysis, the missing ballots "are unlikely to affect the outcome of the presidential race." In many cases, USPS said, the ballots had been hand-sorted and delivered without an exit scan. The USPS did not provide data to indicate how prevalent that practice has been, though it did disclose that 7 percent of ballots in its sorting facilities Tuesday were not delivered in time to be counted."Even in a worst-case scenario where all potentially misplaced ballots in a state are permanently lost, those ballots amount to just a fraction of both current two-party vote margins and estimates of the number of outstanding ballots yet to be tallied," the Post reports. In Georgia, for instance, the maximum 6,624 missing votes represent just 8 percent of the margin between President Trump and Democrat Joe Biden.In other states, though, the number of missing ballots is larger — more than 11,000 in Pennsylvania and 16,000 in Florida — and the untraced absentee votes in Arizona make up 24 percent of the outstanding margin between Biden and Trump, the Post reports. Also, its analysis that "misplaced mail ballots will not be a significant factor in final vote tallies" has the caveat that it might be a factor if "the final presidential vote margins shrink to low three- or four-digit numbers in the coming days." In some states, like Arizona and Georgia that's a distinct possibility.More stories from theweek.com Fox News brings Trump to his knees Trump is reportedly 'taken aback' that his rants against mail-in ballots may have hurt him The left just got crushed

The haulout, a place of refuge where walruses congregate, reproduce, and socialise, is located in a remote corner of Russia's Yamal peninsula, and scientists say they counted over 3,000 animals there last month. Walrus haulouts have traditionally been located on drifting sea ice or on Arctic islands, scientists say.

Nine-year-old Malaysian boy beats 900 rivals in Nasa competition to design a space toilet

Nine-year-old Malaysian boy beats 900 rivals in Nasa competition to design a space toiletFor most nine-year-olds, studying toilets and the mechanics of bodily functions leads to nothing more than fits of giggles. Not for Zyson Kang, who has beaten nearly 1,000 other young inventors in a global contest to design a toilet for use in space. Zyson, from Malaysia, won top prize in the junior section of Nasa's "Lunar Loo Challenge". The challenge was to come up with a toilet that could work in both simulated gravity on space stations and lunar gravity on the moon's surface. Crucially, the youngter's design, which can fit snugly into an astronaut's spacesuit, did not need electricity or batteries. "When you move your legs, the urine will flow down into a container in the astronaut's boots," he told an impressed Nasa team via a webinar. "The design does not require any electrical components, hence, minimising the potential of a malfunction in space." Chong Soo Sheong, 43, of I-Discovery World science centre in Kuala Lumpur, who coached Zyson in his efforts, said he had worked on the design for months. "There were many ups and downs, trial and errors, as well as learning curves to overcome," he added. "But I'm glad his perseverance and continuous learning enabled him to stand out on an international platform."

Detroit Police Shoot and Kill Schizophrenic Man, Blame Mental Hospital For Releasing Him

Posted: 06 Nov 2020 01:44 AM PST

Detroit Police Shoot and Kill Schizophrenic Man, Blame Mental Hospital For Releasing HimMichael Moza was still wearing his hospital wristband when Detroit police killed him in a hail of gunfire during a car chase early Wednesday morning.Moza, who'd just turned 30, was struggling with schizophrenia and had tried checking into a psychiatric hospital hours before he died. But his family says the hospital released Moza without the medication he desperately needed.Maegan Davis, Moza's sister, told The Daily Beast he was upset when he visited her Tuesday night. "I told the doctor, 'If anything happens to me, it's on you,'" Moza said of the medic who allegedly let him go.Now Davis is piecing together Moza's final moments, before he became the third person with mental illness to be fatally shot by Detroit cops since July. "He didn't deserve this," Davis said. "I can't emphasize enough what a kind, soft, goodhearted person he was."Vancouver Braces for Protests After Police Kill 21-Year-Old Black Man in Bank Parking LotIn a press conference Wednesday, Police Chief James Craig urged reporters to hold the mental health facility accountable for allegedly turning Moza away. He shifted blame for Moza's death to the Detroit Receiving Hospital's psychiatric center."This system is broken," Craig said. "He was crying out for help. He wanted the help, and now he's no longer here."Craig detailed Moza's final movements and how officers went from disarming an "armed and dangerous" shooter to trying to save his life. Most of Craig's comments, however, focused on the alleged failings of mental health workers, not law enforcement."I've been talking about the broken system—it falls on deaf ears," Craig said, adding, "When are we going to challenge and find out what's going on at the crisis center? Why are people being released? And if they are being released, is it because of short staff?"Detroit Receiving Hospital, which is affiliated with the Detroit Medical Center network, didn't return messages. A hospital spokesman would only tell The Detroit News: "We cannot provide any information about patients at the crisis center."For her part, Davis said Moza has been hospitalized at Detroit Receiving Hospital's crisis center previously for schizophrenia. Craig told reporters hospital staff should have looked up Moza's records and realized he had "a caseworker."Moza wasn't the only alleged patient of the crisis center to be killed by cops. The hospital also reportedly treated 28-year-old Darrien Walker, who attacked officers with a sword and dagger before they fatally shot him July 30.Craig told the News his department took Walker to the crisis center in early July after he allegedly brandished a gun at a neighbor. "He was back on the street in less than 24 hours," Craig said. "So our officers tried to get this obviously mentally ill person some treatment, but what good did it do? What kind of treatment, if any, did (hospital staff) give him? Or was he just released? We don't know."Last Friday, a Detroit police sniper killed a 42-year-old man who held his girlfriend hostage in a nine-hour standoff. The Detroit Free Press reported the unidentified suspect had bipolar disorder, hadn't taken his medication for 48 hours, and had a history of violence. Craig said the incident marked the 28th this year involving a barricaded gunman—and that half those cases involved suspects with mental illnesses."This system is broken and it needs to be fixed," Craig said after the man's death last week. "This needs to be a priority, this is a public safety concern."Moza encountered police just five days after the sniper takedown. Craig said Moza fired 13 bullets into a home in southwest Detroit Tuesday around 4 a.m. No one was injured, and police had no immediate suspects.Later that morning, Moza worked as an election poll worker and called EMS after having a mental health episode. Police responded and brought Moza to Detroit Receiving Hospital's psychiatric crisis center, which reportedly released him hours later.Moza allegedly returned to the same house around 1 a.m. Wednesday and fired shots again. After receiving a description of the suspect's vehicle, police tried to pull Moza over. He led a sergeant on a high-speed chase across the city's east side, in a pursuit that was called off because of speed, Craig said.Still, cops caught up with Moza, and during a second pursuit, Moza allegedly fired shots at the officers. Craig said one sergeant shot back through the windshield of his police cruiser, and a second sergeant may have also fired into Moza's car. A sergeant then blocked Moza and his vehicle stalled."Multiple officers fired rounds at the suspect," Craig said. "The suspect then took off from that location, he went a short distance at a high rate of speed, went through a fence and collided with a parked semi-tractor truck." Craig said a sergeant pulled Moza from the wreckage and tried to save his life before an ambulance arrived. Craig didn't say how many times Moza and the responding officers fired shots.But the barrage of gunfire concerns Davis, who says she visited the crime scene and took her own photos of the yellow evidence markers dotting the pavement. She claimed she counted 98 shell casings at the crash site.Davis said Moza was diagnosed with schizophrenia 10 years ago and "suffered greatly" from the disorder which included symptoms of paranoia. "There were a lot of scary moments but never any violent moments. He wasn't a violent person. I don't think Michael had ever been in a fight in school," Davis said. "He was super loving and family oriented. He suffered a lot of loss in his life."Moza's father and older brother died when he was young, and his mother died two years ago. She said her sibling struggled with schizophrenia and drug addiction, and for the first time, he was living on his own and managing his medications. "He was doing really well, so all of this was so shocking," Davis said.Davis said something seemed off in Moza's voice Monday and she wondered if he was off his medication. He told her he'd been in a fight with someone, but Davis assumed the altercation might have been a delusion. She said she now believes this squabble might have been why Moza shot up a particular house.Asked about the police response, Davis said, "I do understand that you cannot shoot at a police officer without there being an exchange of fire."But Davis questioned why what appears to be 98 bullets were necessary to stop one suspect with a single handgun. "It felt like overkill," she said."They won't even tell us how many times he was hit," Davis said. "They're telling us we have to wait until there's an autopsy performed."In the meantime, Davis has organized a GoFundMe page to pay for Moza's funeral."He was scheduled … November 4th, to receive his medication," Davis wrote. "Instead, we are mourning the loss of a compassionate, loving and generous member of our family."Read more at The Daily Beast.Got a tip?
