Global superstar Taylor Swift on Tuesday announced her support for Kamala Harris' presidential campaign in a highly anticipated endorsement that could energize millions of so-called Swifties.
The “Fortnight” singer endorsed the Democratic nominee in a post on Instagram moments after Harris' first debate with Donald Trump wrapped up.
"Like many of you, I watched the debate tonight," Swift wrote. "If you haven’t already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, I make sure to watch and read everything I can about their proposed policies and plans for this country."
She continued:
>I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I’m voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades.
She signed the post “childless cat lady,” a clear reference to controversial remarks from Trump’s running mate, Sen. JD Vance.
In a separate ruling, the judge, Scott McAfee of Fulton County Superior Court, also upheld the felony racketeering charge against Mr. Trump and the 14 other defendants in the case — the centerpiece of the indictment — calling it “facially sound and constitutionally sufficient.”
But the decision to toss three of the remaining 35 charges was a win for the defendants, who have been trying to chip away at the case. They are also seeking the disqualification of its prosecutor, Fani T. Willis, the Fulton County district attorney.
Ms. Willis’s office originally brought 41 counts against 19 defendants in August 2023. Four defendants have since pleaded guilty, and Judge McAfee previously quashed six of the charges.
Two days after suffering a comically embarrassing loss to Kamala Harris at their first presidential debate, Jeffrey Epstein patron turned twice impeached one term president turned convicted felon Donald Trump took to his failing twitter knockoff Truth Social to announce he simply can not handle the humiliation of another debate.
Washington — Former President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he won't debate Vice President Kamala Harris again, following Tuesday night's matchup between the two in Philadelphia.
"THERE WILL BE NO THIRD DEBATE!" Trump said at the end of a long post on his Truth Social account. The first presidential debate was in June between Trump and President Biden.
"When a prizefighter loses a fight, the first words out of his mouth are, 'I WANT A REMATCH,'" Trump wrote in his post, explaining his decision and insisting unnamed polls showed he won.
Later in the day, at a campaign stop in Tucson, Arizona, he said, "Because we've done two debates and because they were successful, there will be no third debate. Too late anyway, the voting has already begun."
But initial polls by Reuters, YouGov and CNN showed a wide majority of voters thought Harris outperformed Trump. Most commentators and observers agreed that Harris got the upper hand in the showdown, with the vice president generally remaining on the attack while putting Trump on the defensive.

The Secret Service said Thursday that the upcoming Jan. 6 “has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security.”
“The 2025 Counting and Certification of Electoral Votes in Washington, DC on Jan. 6, 2025, has been designated a National Special Security Event by the Secretary of Homeland Security,” a press release on the Department of Homeland secretary’s decision, first reported by The Washington Post, from the Secret Service said.
Almost four years ago, to halt Congress certifying the 2020 election results, supporters of former President Trump stormed the U.S. Capitol. The Jan. 6, 2021, riot followed unfounded claims of election fraud in 2020 by Trump, with the former president claiming even during Tuesday’s debate against Vice President Harris that he won the 2020 election.
“National Special Security Events are events of the highest national significance,” Special Agent in Charge of the Secret Service’s Dignitary Protective Division Eric Ranaghan said in a statement in the release. “The U.S. Secret Service, in collaboration with our federal, state, and local partners are committed to developing and implementing a comprehensive and integrated security plan to ensure the safety and security of this event and its participants.”
The former president, alongside his supporters, has previously attempted to paint the attack on the Capitol in 2021 as peaceful, but over 140 officers faced injury, and five died shortly following the riots.
Last January, President Biden and Harris denounced the Jan. 6 riots on their third anniversary in posts on the social platform Twitter
On Tuesday night, following the long-awaited debate between former president Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump advisor Stephen Miller stood in front of a group of reporters to answer some questions.
After Miller asserted to the press gaggle that the crime rate in Venezuela is down by "a little bit over 60 percent over the last several years," Nuestra Tele Noticias 24 (NTN24) journalist José María Del Pino asked the former White House immigration adviser a (fairly simple) question.
"Are you trusting the official figures from the Venezuelan dictatorship?" Del Pino asked Miller, as shown in a video posted on X (formerly known as Twitter).
"Let's put it this way: If you're a dictator of a poor country with a high crime rate, wouldn't you send your criminals to our open border?"
"That wasn't my question," the reporter replied. "Are you trusting the figures of the dictatorship?"
As Miller continued to deflect — at one point sidetracking the conversation to the widespread rumors about Venezuelan gangs taking over Aurora, Colorado — Del Pino once again reiterated his question.
"I am asking you about Caracas and the numbers in Caracas. Are you trusting the numbers of a dictator?" he asked.
That's when Miller lost it.
"I am trusting the fact that Kamala Harris is letting illegal immigrants into this country who are raping and murdering children!" Miller shouted at the reporter.
"Why are you yelling?" Del Pino asked. "I have been very respectful, why are you yelling?"
As Del Pino continued to press Miller for an answer, Miller’s voice grew louder, and his balding head began to visibly glisten with sweat.

SpaceX satellite internet service Starlink said it will comply with court orders to block social network X in Brazil. Elon Musk owns both businesses. Brazil’s supreme court ordered a suspension of X because it defied federal regulations concerning content moderation and the appointment of a legal representative in the country. Musk has been publicly berating Brazil’s administration for months, threatening “reciprocal seizure of government assets,” in response to its court orders against his businesses.

Price growth continued to soften in the US last month, falling to its lowest level since February 2021 as the Federal Reserve prepares to cut interest rates for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
As inflation continues to fade, the consumer price index rose at an annual rate of 2.5% in August – down from 2.9% in July, and below the 2.6% expected by economists.
On a month-to-month basis, the index rose 0.2% last month, in line with its rate of growth during July.
The so-called “core” CPI reading, which strips out volatile food and energy prices, came in higher than economists expected, rising 0.3% in August. This measure is closely monitored by the policymakers tasked with steering the US economy.
With inflation falling, but many Americans still grappling with higher prices, the US economy is at a crossroads. With two months left before tens of millions of US voters head to the polls, the cost of living has been a key issue on the presidential election campaign trail.
In spring 2022, having insisted that a sharp rise in inflation was a “transitory” effect of the economic disruption wrought by Covid-19, the Fed engineered an extraordinary U-turn and embarked upon a round of hikes that would ultimately lift interest rates from close to zero to a two-decade high.
