Harris launches media blitz in response to GOP criticism of dodging the press: Live

Lutnick told the paper that the loyalty pledge would help Trump put his agenda in place at a “speed no one’s ever done before.”

Gustaf Kilander has the story.

The vociferously anti-LGBTQ superintendent of a Virginia public school district claims he was fired not for a lack of qualifications or his bigoted online activity, but for joining with former child star-turned-ultra-conservative evangelical activist Kirk Cameron in a campaign to sideline secular children’s titles by Scholastic, the world’s largest publisher of children’s books, in favor of Christian-themed books that “reinforce biblically-based, foundational values.”

At odds with officials of both parties on the ground in the impacted states, Donald Trump continues to attack response to Hurricane Helene in attempt to politicize disaster.

He posted on Truth Social:

THE RESPONSE TO THE HURRICANE BY LYIN’ KAMALA HARRIS IS NOW RATED THE WORST STORM RESPONSE IN HISTORY. NORTH CAROLINA, GEORGIA, FLORIDA, SOUTH CAROLINA, TENNESSEE, ALABAMA, and others, will respond by VOTING FOR “TRUMP.” We will, MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

Turning Point’s representatives have made two things clear in meetings with state and local Republican leaders— Donald Trump has blessed their conservative organization to help lead his get-out-the-vote effort, and local party officials ought to use the group’s new voter mobilization app.

“As we reflect on the horrors of October 7th, let us please be reminded that we cannot lose faith,” the vice president said in remarks outside her residence at Naval Observatory.

Richard Hall writes that while Joe Biden said he wanted to avoid a regional war in the Middle East, his unconditional support for Israel has allowed it to happen.

In marking the first anniversary of the October 7 terrorist attack in Israel, Donald Trump was joined in New York today by conservative political commentator Ben Shapiro.

Shapiro tweeted: “October 7 was the greatest massacre of Jews since the Holocaust. It was an honor to join President Trump in NY today to pay our respects and remember the lives lost in the horrific terrorist attack one year ago today.

“I had the additional honor of being accompanied by Yael, Adi, and Roy Alexander whose son and brother, Edan, an American citizen, is still held captive by Hamas. Today and every day we pray for the swift return of all the hostages and a victory over those who sponsored and perpetrated October 7.”
