Sen. Cory Booker’s presidential campaign manager is warning in a memo to staff that the Democratic senator from New Jersey must raise an additional $1.7 million by the end of the third quarter of fundraising – just 10 days away – or the campaign will not have a “legitimate long-term path forward.”
In the memo, campaign manager Addisu Demissie warned that following a weaker than expected cash haul during the early part of September, “the next 10 days will determine whether Cory Booker can stay in this race.”
The existence of the memo was first reported Saturday morning by NBC News, with Fox News confirming the news with multiple sources.

The room is silent, except for the unearthly beep of the heart monitor. The nurse shuffles in and out, organizing medications. Rabbi Klein, a man in his 60s with kind eyes and a warm smile, comes to his wife’s bedside to say ‘Good morning.’ Esther looks in his direction. It is all she can offer him in return. ALS has robbed her of her ability to move her body. This is their daily ritual.
What Esther does not know, is that her husband and their 8 children have run out of the means to continue to treatments which keep her alive. After her transition from ‘normal’ mother of a large family, to disabled, to paralyzed, it would be more than she could bear. Her body is a prison, but her mind and soul burn bright within.

Leading rabbinic scholars, educators and Jewish communal leaders will be featured on Sunday at the Orthodox Union’s third annual Torah New York at Citi Field in New York City, where more than 2,500 men, women and children can learn about how artificial intelligence will impact Shabbat observance, repentance in a world where mistakes on the Internet exist online forever and sins that may seem unforgivable.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren surged to first place in a respected poll of likely Iowa caucusgoers released on Saturday.
The poll is the first from the Des Moines Register, together with CNN and Mediacom, to put the two-term Massachusetts Democrat in the lead, at 22 percent. Former vice president Joe Biden, who led the Register’s June poll, fell by 3 percentage points to a close 20 percent. And Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., slipped 5 percentage points to a distant third, at 11 percent.
The poll was conducted Sept. 14-18 among 602 probable caucusgoers in the first-in-the-nation contest, which will take place in February. The margin of error is plus or minus 4 percentage points.

President Trump lashed out at the media Saturday night, accusing “The LameStream Media” of publishing “numerous phony stories.”
“The LameStream Media had a very bad week. They pushed numerous phony stories and got caught, especially The Failing New York Times, which has lost more money over the last 10 years than any paper in history, and The Amazon Washington Post. They are The Enemy of the People!” Trump tweeted.
Trump also accused the “Fake News Media” of being “partners” of Democrats.

During a preliminary hearing on Thursday, prosecutors played a 12-minute recording of John Earnest casually telling a 911 operator that he had been shooting people inside Chabad of Poway in Southern California to defend “our nation against the Jewish people, who are trying to destroy all white people.”
Earnest, 20, “sat stone-faced with his arms folded on his lap during hours of testimony at a hearing to determine if there is enough evidence for a judge to order him to stand trial on charges of murder, attempted murder and arson,” reported the Associated Press.
A 60-year-old woman, Lori Gilbert-Kaye, was killed and three others injured, including senior Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, who lost two fingers in the shooting on April 27, the last day of Passover.

President Donald Trump began his weekend defending his “perfectly fine and routine” conversation with the Ukrainian president in which he reportedly asked the foreign leader to investigate former vice president Joe Biden.
In his tweets, Trump references his phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky but makes no mention of whether he brought up Biden during the conversation. Instead, he blames the news media for its coverage of the story.

U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement will soon resume detaining migrant families at a Texas facility outside of San Antonio, clearing the way for the agency to detain hundreds of additional parents and children.
The Trump administration had stopped holding families at the Karnes County Residential Center in the spring, saying it was unable to transport migrants there because of a record influx of families at the border.
But, after a decline in apprehensions in the summer, officials said in a statement on Saturday that they will revert Karnes “back to a family residential center in the near future.”
Officials had said earlier that they expected the facility to return to exclusively detaining families after a few months.
