Rail union official says 'lot of anger, confusion and hostility' with Biden deal, may fall apart
A strike would cause widespread economic problems ahead of the midterm elections this November.

The Biden administration-backed agreement to avoid a railroad strike could fall apart as some railroad workers are expressing anger over the deal.
Railroad Workers United organizer Ron Kaminkow, whose organization represents railway personnel below management level, said there is "a lot of anger, confusion and hostility" over the new agreement, according to an article published Sunday by The Hill.
Rail workers are scheduled to vote Thursday morning about the tentative deal, and the voting is likely to last into October. If any of the 12 unions do not ratify a new contract, nearly 125,000 workers could strike. Railroads ''carry about one-third of U.S. freight, and a strike would cause widespread economic problems ''ahead of the midterm elections this November.
The tentative deal would give workers 24% raises over five years, along with back pay and cash bonuses, and it would allow workers to take off time for scheduled events without penalty, among other things. Some workers say the contract is purposely vague, especially about sick leave and voluntary days off.
University of Illinois Labor and Employment Relations Professor Robert Bruno predicted that the deal will eventually be approved, but many workers will still vote "no."
"That will signal a level of continuing grievance on the part of the membership. It wouldn’t surprise me if a fairly substantial number of members voted 'no' in part because of how genuinely abused they feel," he told The Hill.

Biden warns Putin to not use nuclear weapons in Ukraine, won't say what consequences would be
"Don't. Don't. Don't," Biden said. "It would change the face of war unlike anything since World War II."
U.S. President Joe Biden warned Russian President Vladimir Putin against using nuclear weapons in Ukraine during an interview set to air Sunday, but he would not say what the consequences would be if the Kremlin were to detonate such weapons of mass destruction.
When asked on "60 Minutes" about what he would say if Putin was considering using chemical or tactical nuclear weapons, Biden responded: "Don't. Don't. Don't. It would change the face of war unlike anything since World War II."
CBS reporter Scott Pelley followed up by asking what the U.S. response would be if Putin uses nuclear weapons.
"You think I would tell you if I knew exactly what it would be? Of course, I'm not gonna tell you. It'll be consequential," Biden said. "They'll become more of a pariah in the world than they ever have been. And depending on the extent of what they do will determine what response would occur."
Biden's warning comes as Ukraine says it has retaken territory from Russia in a large counteroffensive operation while Putin is facing calls from some local Russian officials to resign as a result.

Phony motion placed on Trump raid court docket
The document may have been filed by a serial forger in federal prison.

A motion filled with spelling and grammatical errors claiming to be from the U.S. Treasury appeared in the court docket for the Justice Department's probe into records seized from former President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate.
The document, which first appeared Monday, said the Treasury had sensitive documents connected to the FBI's raid of Trump's Florida estate, and it included a directive to CNN to maintain "leaked tax records."
The Associated Press reported that the document "is a clear fabrication," and said a review of court records and interviews suggests that the filing came from a serial forger in a North Carolina federal prison.
The fact the document, titled "MOTION to Intervene by U.S. Department of the Treasury," was even able to be filed, highlights questions about problems in the court system's document vetting process.
"The U.S. Department of Treasury through the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Marshals Service have arrested Seized Federal Securities containing sensitive documents which are subject to the Defendant Sealed Search Warrant by the F.B.I. arrest," the document stated, including spelling and syntax issues.
The filing included two alleged warrants, but they were identical to papers filed from an inmate at a North Carolina prison medical center in a federal court case in Georgia. The case was tossed, similar to other similar lawsuits filed by the incarcerated man.
He has been in prison for several years after authorities found him not competent to stand trial following his arrest for allegedly planting a fake explosive outside of a Detroit building. The man has filed multiple lawsuits and claimed to represent several federal agencies.
''His mail is supposed to face extra scrutiny from the Bureau of Prisons, and the Associated Press reported that it is unclear how the filings got to the West Palm Beach, Florida, clerk's office. ''
