In this Stephen Gardner update today, President Joe Biden expressed skepticism about casualty figures from the Gaza Health Ministry, which claimed that 6,000 Palestinians, including 2,700 children, were killed by Israel. Biden doubted the accuracy of these numbers and emphasized the need for caution in assessing the situation. He cited past instances of misinformation from Palestine, such as blaming a hospital missile strike on Israel, which was later determined to be a misfire from Gaza. Meanwhile, a tragic shooting incident in Maine resulted in the deaths of 18 people, with the suspect, Robert Card, still at large. Despite a history of mental health issues and threats of gun violence, Card retained his firearms following a July 2023 evaluation. President Biden pledged support for the people of Maine in the wake of the tragedy. In Congress, House Speaker Mike Johnson, who supports an impeachment inquiry into President Biden, faced criticism from Democrats for his conservative views on abortion, Social Security, and Medicare. Former President Donald Trump faced legal consequences for violating a gag order by criticizing Clerk Allison Greenfield, leading to a $10,000 fine. The judge defended the gag order, citing concerns for the clerk's safety. The United Auto Workers strike concluded with a new agreement with Ford, resulting in higher wages for autoworkers. The deal emphasizes the importance of a strong manufacturing base for national security. President Biden sought Republican support by framing aid to Ukraine as an investment in American military infrastructure, with the support of Republicans like Mitch McConnell. Lastly, a report suggested that Russia considered a space-based attack on Kyiv, Ukraine, involving a rocket loaded with explosives. Russian President Putin seemingly rejected this plan earlier in the year.
