Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out Representative Tulsi Gabbard over Twitter on Tuesday for Gabbard's role in magnifying Project Veritas' alleged voter fraud story.
Last week, the conservative media organization released a video accusing campaign workers for Rep. Ilhan Omar and Minneapolis City Councilman Jamal Osman of harvesting primary ballots for money and intimidating elderly voters in Minnesota.
The video featured footage of Liban Osman, Osman's brother, driving around with what appears to be dozens of mail-in ballots while talking about money in politics. On Monday, Liban told FOX affiliate KMSP that he was "set up" and that had previously been offered a bribe of $10,000 from Omar Jamal, a community activist and alleged "insider" for Project Veritas. | |

Just because almost every gadget or appliance can be connected to the internet, doesn’t mean they should be. Outages can render these “smart” devices useless, and many use weak security that can make them easily hackable.
And as security researchers recently found out, the consequences of having a major security flaw in one popular sex toy could have been catastrophic for tens of thousands of users.
U.K.-based security firm Pen Test Partners said the flaw in the Qiui Cellmate internet-connected chastity lock, billed as the “world’s first app controlled chastity device,” could have allowed anyone to remotely and permanently lock in the user’s penis.
The Cellmate chastity lock works by allowing a trusted partner to remotely lock and unlock the chamber over Bluetooth using a mobile app. That app communicates with the lock using an API. But that API was left open and without a password, allowing anyone to take complete control of any user’s device.
Because the chamber was designed to lock with a metal ring underneath the user’s penis, the researchers said it may require the intervention of a heavy-duty bolt cutter or an angle grinder to free the user. | |

Joe Biden is expected to win the Latino vote big. But not so big in Florida. A new Florida International University poll gives President Trump a 34-point lead with Cuban voters in Miami-Dade County. In another poll, Trump has two-thirds of Florida’s Venezuelan voters. Many Colombians support him as well.
Among the reasons many Latinos here say they prefer Trump is that many have fled left-wing regimes in Latin America. And so this summer many Latinos started to loudly express contempt for — and falsehoods about — the Black Lives Matter (BLM) racial justice movement. | |

(CNN Business)John McAfee, the antivirus software magnate and former Libertarian presidential candidate, has been indicted for tax evasion.
McAfee allegedly failed to file his taxes for four years despite earning millions in income between 2014 and 2018 from promoting cryptocurrencies, consulting work, speaking engagements, and selling the rights to his life story for a documentary, according to the indictment filed in the US District Court for the Western District of Tennessee.
The indictment alleges that McAfee evaded taxes by having his income paid into bank accounts and cryptocurrency accounts in the names of others, while also using the names of others to conceal ownership of property and assets including a yacht.
The amount McAfee owes was not specified in the indictment.
The June 15, 2020 indictment was unsealed following McAfee's arrest in Spain where he is pending extradition, prosecutors said.
According to an attachment to the indictment, if convicted, McAfee faces a maximum of five years in prison on each count of tax evasion and a maximum of one year for each count of willful failure to file a tax return. McAfee also faces a period of supervised release, restitution, and over $350,000 in monetary penalties, according to the indictment.

Landlords should wait to see if National wins October's election before spending money refitting their rentals up to new heating standards, a lobby group for property owners says.
The comments by the NZ Property Investors Federation have been labelled "deeply disappointing" by the Labour Party and questioned by the Real Estate Institute and the NZ Green Building Council.
The advice comes after National under new leader Judith Collins confirmed to the Herald it would tear up new Healthy Homes standards recently brought in by the Labour-led Government...\
Similarly, New Zealand's rental housing stock was among the worst in the developed world, bringing potential lifelong suffering to young children and families and large health costs, he said.
More than one-third of renters in Government surveys had reported they were living with dangerous mould in their homes, he said. | |

Process servers are supposed to deliver summonses that tell tenants about their eviction cases. But the only evidence that they actually notify tenants of their cases are sworn documents filed by the process servers themselves, and a DCist investigation uncovered hundreds of documents in the span of just two months that contradict one another. | |

But it may not matter where the city comes down on the issue. Federal officials have made it clear they believe the deputations are still in effect and the city’s consent is irrelevant. Until the courts weigh-in, the deputations have paved the path for the federal government to become increasingly involved in charging protesters, circumventing Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt, who has declined to bring low-level charges against protesters. | |
