Rabbi Yisroel Goldstein, a victim of the shooting at the Chabad of Poway Synagogue, tells NBC his “fingers got blown away” during Saturday’s incident.
2/ Goldstein heard a “large bang” and turned around, “face to face with this murderer, terrorist who was holding the rifle and looking straight at me. Then as soon as he saw me he started to shoot toward me, and that’s when I put my hands up, and my fingers got blown away.”
3/ Rabbi Goldstein went on to say his close friend Lori Kay, was shot dead in the moments following. “Then he continued on, and he just killed Lori Kay right there on the spot.”

Biden set the 24-hour-fundraising bar in that conf. call earlier this week and he appears to have met it --raised $6.3 million in 1st 24 hours, more than Sanders and O'Rourke. 96,926 contributors.

THOUGH pay attention to potential spin in that Biden press release -- 1/2
2/2 Biden heralds ONLINE donations.... "97% of online donations were under $200... average online donation was $41"...

What about donations overall?

And how much of $6.3M is just for primary cash v general election? Will update with more when we get it --
UPDATE: Campaign says ALL of this $6.3M is primary cash, NONE is for general.

Before sun had even set on day that a white nationalist opened fired in #Poway synagogue, killing 1Jewish person at prayer & injuring 3 more, at least 3 Jewish men in positions of power & accountability were using the occasion to foment Islamophobia & their right-wing agendas 1/7
Dov Hikind is a NY State Assemblyman. Chip Roy is a Congressman from Texas. Mort Klein is head of the ZOA. Each tried to personally connect Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib, the first Muslim women in Congress, to this heinous attack. We need some accountability 2/7
They have constituents and institutions that they are accountable to and in relationship with. Every single Jewish institution, Jewish elected, and Jewish constituent needs to be calling them to account. Everyone else too, but these are our "community leaders" so it's on us 3/7
