"The question is not simply whether investigators believed one person over another,” counsel Thomas Calcagni of Calcagni & Kanefsky said. “The question is whether the evidence actually proves that a violation occurred. In our view, the evidence does not support these findings. “We firmly disagree with the three findings,” Mr. Calcagni said. “Dr. Caldwell believes that a fair review of the complete record will show that the conclusions reached in the report go far beyond what the evidence establishes.” Statement from Dale Caldwell - Insider NJ share.google/Led5ZdmABHy6ILT…

Hi @BillAckman — I’ve been reporting on the nexus between the anti-Israel, pro-Islamic Republic of Iran groups and the anti-tech protests for @FoxNews Digital. They are part of the network funded by Neville Roy Singham, the American-born founder of Thoughtworks, a tech company he sold in 2017 for $700+ million. I’ve identified $285 million he pumped into nonprofits now behind the street protests against the US, Israel and tech. This is reporting from earlier this year when the pro-China pro-communist, anti-Israel network targeted Palantir: As communist leaders in China oppose U.S.-Israeli military action against Iran, a pro-China network funded by Neville Roy Singham, a Marxist American tech tycoon based in Shanghai, is moving to sabotage America’s war footing against the Islamic Republic. A coalition of far-left organizations, including the Party for Socialism and Liberation, is planning a protest against Palantir Technologies’ new headquarters outside Miami on Tuesday. In recent years, Palantir has been working with the U.S. Defense Department in an initiative called Project Maven, which is using machine learning and artificial intelligence in military and intelligence operations. It's understood U.S. officials used intelligence from Project Maven in the recent military operation in Venezuela and also this weekend's joint U.S.-Israel strikes against Iran. The Party for Socialism and Liberation is part of a wider network funded by Singham that includes the People’s Forum, a New York-based "incubator" for far-left groups, including chapters of the Party for Socialism and Liberation, CodePink Women for Peace, co-founded by Singham's wife, Jodie Evans, and the ANSWER Coalition, which is led by self-described communists. While many media outlets continue to report these protests as "organic" and "grassroots," Fox News Digital investigations have chronicled that they are well-coordinated and well-funded as part of a wider anti-U.S. strategy in the Singham network. foxnews.com/us/network-funde…

This is what building for working families looks like - one that puts residents over developers by delivering: ✅Rents under $1,000 ✅Union jobs ✅New park in the South Side ✅Retail and commercial space and we're just getting started..

A 37-year-old man with a rare blood disease was being sent to hospice. An AI model searched thousands of existing drugs and ranked a combination no one had tried for his condition. He responded within a week. He is in remission. The drugs were already on the shelf. The AI model found the match.

Michigan Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed responds to a visibly upset Iranian-American student at the University of Michigan, telling him that U.S. military interventions, sanctions, and regime-change wars often advance corporate interests and harm civilians, rather than promote democracy and freedom.

Fair Share Housing Center absolutely does not understand that their goal of forcing a mandatory IZO on places like Jersey City is what ultimately necessitates more PILOT agreements. And Deputy Housing Mayor Poddar perpetuates the misperception that all luxury towers get PILOTs.

It was wonderful to spend Rosh Hashanah last week with Missy and Elaine, two lifelong Michiganders who welcomed me into their home and taught me about the sweet and joyous meaning of Rosh Hashanah. We talked about the work we can do together to build a more just and peaceful future for our communities here in Michigan. Shana tova and shavua tov!

BREAKING: Based on what Im hearing the $PSKY deal with @AGRobBonta is coming down to the wire with concessions that would make it look like a win for the Cali AG but stuff the Ellisons can live with. Now some caveats: Ive covered scores of deals on Wall Street that fell apart at the last hour over internal politics (who gets to be CEO COO ect), and this once is fraught with politics at another level: Dem establishment pushing Bonta, who wants to be Gov and needs to stay in the good graces of his lefty base that hates the $PSKY-$WBD combo even if it make perfect sense on so many levels including the big one: There is ZERO antitrust issues with this combo given the vast changes in the media biz. Other politics: He has to get other AGs to sign off. Tish James in NY is hyper political, keep in mind. So, what are the concessions? Just based on the email traffic: Something to do with domestic movie production in state; something that keeps the studios at least nominally separate; and something that addresses CNN's editorial independence.

As Trump tries to ban CNN from the White House, it would be a massive mistake to cave on the Paramount merger. The last thing we need is another Trump-controlled media conglomerate abusing its power to stomp out competition. This is a dangerous merger.

Paramount, run by the Ellisons, should not own both CBS and CNN. California must not cave and take a deal that leaves both under the same owner.

Here's what @AGRobBonta said this afternoon on MS NOW about the reports that Paramount is on the verge of saying it'll leave California: "I can't comment on what a corporation will do. And this is a corporation who has professed a commitment to L.A., to Hollywood, to staying there. So, we've heard this threat before, and it's inconsistent with other things that they have said. If they decide to leave, it's their independent choice. I'm not asking for it. I don't want it, obviously. And that responsibility will lay at their feet. There's nothing about this case that requires that – or would cause it. It would be their choice and their choice alone. They'll have to own it. You know, we will enforce the law always without fear or favor. That's our job. And we will also be willing, always, to come to the table and have good faith, sincere negotiations to solve the problem before us. But we're not focused on their threats. We're focused on this case, which is protecting everyday people in California, making sure their costs are affordable, their costs for cable or satellite, for going to the movies. That's what antitrust is about. It's about affordability. So we want to keep prices fair, make sure we protect jobs. And this merger is a threat to jobs. There will be 5000 to 10,000 jobs that could be lost, billions of dollars in economic activity lost because of the merger. We want to make sure there's choice, quality, competition. That's what antitrust enforcement is all about. So we're going to focus on the job ahead, be firm, be fair, and not be distracted by threats."
