TAMPA, Fla — Amy Bottomley was raised in the suburbs of Chicago by two parents who loved her very much — a little girl who grew up and moved with her husband and son to Tampa.She says there’s always been a piece of her heart missing — and on Thursday, in front of Gate C inside Tampa International Airport, she was ready to find that missing piece.Bottomley had spent months talking on the phone with her birth mother, Kathleen Buchanan. They had connected after Bottomley got the results of a DNA test."I am feeling a mix of emotions right now,” Bottomley said as she sat in the seat and waited for her birth mom’s plane to land. “It’s going to be interesting.”Her hands were shaking, her heart was racing. She got a text that her birth mom's plane had landed. She’s been waiting for this moment, "My whole life, my entire life, 42 years.” 852

Say what you will about the Golden State Warriors being in their 5th NBA Finals in a row. Maybe you love them, maybe you hate them, but on Sunday night they were heroes.Because the Warriors stole a game on the road against the Toronto Raptors, America gets to "steal" a taco: a Doritos Locos Taco from Taco Bell to be exact. 336

Rep. Rashida Tlaib said Friday she would not visit Israel after the country granted permission for her to enter the country on humanitarian grounds to visit her family in the West Bank a day after blocking her and fellow Rep. Ilhan Omar from visiting the country."I have decided that visiting my grandmother under these oppressive conditions stands against everything I believe in--fighting against racism, oppression & injustice," Tlaib said in a tweet. In a statement released shortly after her tweet, she said she has "decided not to travel" to the country.Tlaib had asked Israeli Interior Minister Aryeh Deri for access so that she could visit her relatives, "and specifically my grandmother, who is in her 90s and lives in Beit Ur al-Fouqa. This could be my last opportunity to see her."The request from Tlaib of Michigan came a day after the country barred her and Omar, a freshman Democrat from Minnesota, from entering because of their support of a boycott against Israel. Israel's decision to bar their entry was encouraged by President Donald Trump in a remarkable step both by the US President and his ally, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to punish political opponents.Deri announced Friday in a statement that Tlaib would be allowed to visit the after she, in a letter requesting permission to enter the country on humanitarian grounds, "committed to accept all the demands of Israel to respect the restrictions imposed on her in the visit, and she also promised not to advance boycotts against Israel during her visit."In response to Tlaib's announcement that she would not visit the country, Deri said Tlaib's "hatred of Israel is stronger than her love of her grandmother" and accused Tlaib of requesting to visit her family as a "a provocation in order to besmirch Israel."Tlaib's family in the West Bank slammed Israel over the "conditional visit" and insisted that it is a "natural right" to be able to visit relatives."We reject the decision of the Israeli occupation to ban the entry of Congresswomen Rashida Tlaib. This highlights how Israel antagonizes every individual or organization that support the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people and rejects every attempt at explaining the reality of the Palestinian life under occupation," Tlaib's grandmother, Muftiya Tliab, and her uncle, Ghassan Tlaib, said in a statement to CNN.The family statement continued, "It should be her natural right, not a favor to ask for, to visit her homeland and family."Tlaib's relatives said they had wanted her to be able to visit as part of a delegation which was to include Omar, and are incensed by the restrictions being put on her visit.Some of Tlaib's family members even urged her not to make the trip under Israel's restrictions, and only to come if it's an official visit as an American congresswoman. Tlaib's uncle suggested he could bring Tlaib's grandmother to visit in the United States so the two could meet.The boycottTlaib and Omar have been vocal critics of Israel and have supported the boycott movement, formally known as the Boycott, Divest, and Sanctions (BDS) movement, voting against a House resolution condemning the movement, which received broad bipartisan support.The boycott movement aims to end international support for Israel because of its policies toward Palestinians, as well as its continued construction of West Bank settlements, considered a violation of international law.Strategic Affairs Minister Gilad Erdan, who leads Israel's fight against the boycott movement, tweeted Friday morning, "The request from Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib to visit her grandmother should be approved. Especially in light of her commitment to abide by Israeli law and not advance boycotts against us."Erdan is one of the members of the forum who met on Wednesday to discuss whether to allow Tlaib and Omar to enter the country.Ban came after Trump interventionThe announcement Thursday to prohibit the congresswomen from visiting Israel came shortly after Trump said Israel would be showing "great weakness" by letting them in.Trump has criticized the two lawmakers -- who are the first two Muslim women elected to Congress -- in harsh and sometimes racist terms. But his move to call for their ban in Israel reflects a new chapter in his grudge and a further erosion of presidential norms, which in the past sought to avoid instilling partisanship in foreign affairs.Trump's comments left Israel with little wiggle room, especially for Netanyahu, who has never publicly disagreed with Trump."The plan of the two Congresswomen is only to damage Israel and to foment against Israel," Netanyahu said in a statement following the decision.Omar responded to the decision Thursday slamming it as "an insult to democratic values.""It is an affront that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, under pressure from President Trump, would deny entry to representatives of the U.S. government," Omar said in a statement. "Trump's Muslim ban is what Israel is implementing, this time against two duly elected Members of Congress."Omar went on to say, "As a member of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, it is my job to conduct oversight of foreign aid from the United States of America and to legislate on human rights practices around the world. The irony of the 'only democracy' in the Middle East making such a decision is that it is both an insult to democratic values and a chilling response to a visit by government officials from an allied nation."Israel's decision to deny entry to the two freshmen congresswomen was a turnaround of a position taken last month when the country's Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said the pair would be permitted to visit Israel and the Palestinian territories. 5758

Some employees, including 1.2 million middle class workers, could be overtime eligible starting in January under a new policy by the Trump administration. According to the Department of Labor, executive, administrative, or professional employees who make less than 4 a week (,568 a year) will now be eligible for time-and-a-half pay for work performed beyond 40 hours in a week. That is an increase from 5 a week (,660 a year). While the Department of Labor says the new rule is the first time the threshold for overtime eligibility has increased in 15 years, the Obama administration attempted to increase the overtime threshold ,476 a year. The rule, which had the opposition of then candidate Donald Trump, was shot down by the courts after Obama left office. Obama's policy was not defended in federal court by the Trump administration. The policy also increases the threshold for workers known as "highly compensated employees." The threshold increased from 0,000 to 7,432 per year. Those who are considered highly compensated employees are exempt from overtime pay. The Labor Department said it expects nearly 1.3 million workers will be eligible for overtime who currently aren't eligible. Of the 1.3 million workers, 100,000 will become overtime eligible after the highly compensated employee threshold increases."For the first time in over 15 years, America's workers will have an update to overtime regulations that will put overtime pay into the pockets of more than a million working Americans," Acting U.S. Secretary of Labor Patrick Pizzella said. "This rule brings a commonsense approach that offers consistency and certainty for employers as well as clarity and prosperity for American workers." 1744
