Vice President Kamala Harris jokingly denied eating “gummies” at a campaign event in Michigan, while giving supporters a rare glimpse at how the Democratic nominee deals with the stress of the campaign trail. “Everybody I talk to says ‘I have to turn off the news, I can‘t read anything, I’m meditating, I’m doing yoga, I’m so anxious I just don’t even know, I’m eating gummies, all kinds of things,’” moderator Maria Shriver said. “I’m not eating gummies,” Harris immediately replied before breaking out in laughter. Marijuana is legal in Michigan, and Harris came out in support of legalizing the drug nationally last week. Leading up to her 2020 presidential campaign, Harris told The Breakfast Club that she smoked marijuana in college. But Harris did admit she was feeling the pressure of the ongoing campaign. “I wake up in the middle of the night usually these days, just to be honest with you,” the vice president admitted to the audience of supporters.

The largest newspaper in Texas endorsed Democrat Rep. Colin Allred for U.S. Senate on Monday, dealing another setback to Republican Sen. Ted Cruz in an already tight race. The Dallas Morning News criticized Cruz’s lack of support for the bipartisan bills, including the border deal, the CHIPS and Science Act and the Infrastructure and Jobs Act, all of which Allred has supported. “On the items of crucial importance to our country, [Cruz] digs in in the most partisan mode possible, making no room for common ground,” the editorial board wrote. The endorsement also noted that Cruz was one of the first senators to object to certifying the electoral vote on Jan. 6. “His actions were a catalyst for what became one of the worst days in our nation’s history,” the editorial said. The newspaper highlighted Allred’s commitment to bipartisanship and said he “speaks and acts in ways that demonstrate he is willing to treat differences as things we overcome, rather than root in.” Allred has also been endorsed by the Houston Chronicle, San Antonio Express-News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram. Though the newspaper often endorses Republican candidates, it has never endorsed Cruz.

McDonald’s said they invited Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz to visit one of their franchises—one day after former President Trump worked the drive-thru at a franchise in Pennsylvania. The company said they extended the invitation in a message sent to employees, which was later authenticated by the Associated Press. In the message, McDonald’s said they were “proud” of former President Trump’s well-documented love of the fast food chain, as well as Harris’ “fond memories working under the arches.” Harris claims she worked at a McDonald’s in Alameda, California in 1983. Trump has frequently claimed that Harris is lying about her summer job. The company seemed to address this claim in the message, stating that “we and our franchisees don’t have records for all positions dating back to the ‘80s.” McDonald’s corporate said the company does not endorse candidates for elected office, and agreed to the Trump event based on one of the company’s core values: “We open our doors to everyone.” McDonald’s corporate and the Harris campaign have not returned requests for comment from the Daily Beast.

JD Vance took aim at what he called Kamala Harris’ “anti-Christian rhetoric and anti-Christian approach to public policy“ in the GOP vice presidential pick‘s latest play for Christian and Catholic voters. The Catholic convert said Sunday that he found Harris’ secular platform “really bizarre,” at a rally in Waukesha, Wisconsin. “If Christians get out there and vote, we are going to win, my friends,” he told the crowd. Vance also lashed out at Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who recently came under fire from Catholic groups who criticized a viral video of her feeding a podcaster a Dorito chip, part of a popular social media trend, as mocking the sacrament of Communion. “When you see an American leader, when you see a surrogate of Kamala Harris, insulting people of the Christian faith, I think that we should say to every single one of those people: You’re fired,” Vance said. Whitmer has since apologized for the video, saying she would “never do something to denigrate someone’s faith,” and that the clip was “construed as something it was never intended to be.”

Known for its celebrity-approved 4-in-1 Skincare Wand, SolaWave is a leader in the ever-expanding red and infrared light therapy beauty tech space. The brand recently launched a full-face LED Light Therapy Face Mask and a Red Light Therapy Eye Mask, which sold out in just 24 hours after being released. Finally, the brand restocked the viral eye mask, but stock is selling out quickly once again and, honestly, we understand why. While there are plenty of red light therapy masks on the market today, there aren’t many beauty tech devices harnessing the modality that specifically targets the delicate (and often overlooked) eye region. SolaWaves’s FDA-cleared eye mask is engineered with a blend of red (630nm), amber (605nm), deep red (660nm) and infrared (880nm) LED lights that work to soften fine lines and crow’s feet, depuff eye bags, erase hyperpigmentation and discoloration and lift sagging skin in just three minutes daily.

Unlike other devices, SolaWave’s Red Light Therapy Eye Mask is designed with medical-grade silicone to mold to the contours of the orbital region and adjustable velcro straps for a bespoke fit (and better penetration). Plus, the hands-free eye mask is lightweight and foolproof to use, so you can efficiently work, walk, watch TV, or do chores during the quick treatment, which means you’ll actually use it. If you’re looking for a powerful LED device that addresses the eye region like nothing else on the market (or are trying to push back quarterly Botox appointments), grab one of SolaWave’s Red Light Therapy Eye Masks now before they sell out again.

Former president Donald Trump may have fulfilled his pledge to work at a McDonald’s Sunday, but he spent five minutes working at the fry station and nobody actually placed any orders, the Washington Post reported. The McDonald’s franchise Trump visited in Feasterville, Pennsylvania was closed to the public while he was there and the drivers he served through the location’s drive-thru window were vetted by the Secret Service—both not unreasonable given the security demands on the campaign trail. However, Trump’s customers weren’t even allowed to place an order, and had to take whatever the Republican candidate for president handed to them. The Post said Trump spent five minutes at the restaurant’s fry station, where he was shown how to drop, drain and salt french fries and fifteen minutes at the window handing out food—which may well have just been bags loaded with fries—to fawning supporters. Hopefully, he remembered to properly salt them.

Handsome and well turned out man Stanley Tucci, who says adults are dressing too casually these days, has some particularly venomous words for those who would wear sweatpants out in public. In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, the bespectacled actor and bon vivant, 63, was asked about his least favorite thing to see an adult wearing in the wild. “A T-shirt emblazoned with some sort of weird saying or image,” he began. “Shorts that don’t fit properly,” he continued, before turning to an anti-athleisure tirade: “Sweatpants. Not just like, ‘Oh, I’ve been running, and now I’m just going to stop at the store.’ You haven’t been running. You just wear sweatpants because you don’t want to wear pants. I sound like such a snob, but I’m sorry, just put on a pair of pants, wear a belt, get a nice pair of shoes. It doesn’t cost a lot of money to dress nicely.” Tucci previously told Condé Nast Traveler in 2022 that his biggest travel pet peeve is that “everybody’s dressed like a nine year old.” While conceding that his commitment to wearing jackets and suits on planes is “old fashioned,” he implored his fellow airline passengers: “You’re a person. Put a shirt on, wear a pair of shoes. Why do you have to wear sweats?”

Joni Mitchell received a standing ovation during a show Saturday night as she slammed Donald Trump, according to Variety. The iconic singer-songwriter performed “Dog Eat Dog” during the show at the Hollywood Bowl, following up the song’s reference to “snakebite evangelists and racketeers and bigwig financiers,” with “...like Donald Trump.” When the song ended, Mitchell told the audience she wished she could vote in next month’s presidential election. “I’m a Canadian. I’m one of those lousy immigrants,” Mitchell joked. She then added: “F—k Donald Trump!” prompting a wave of applause and approving cheers from the crowd. Mitchell’s critical comments are just the latest example of a musical artist denouncing the former president, with some of the world’s best-known acts also attacking Trump for using their work at his rallies. In August, Swedish pop group ABBA asked the Republican nominee to stop playing their songs at his political events, putting them alongside a lengthy list of other legendary performers—including Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen, and Rihanna—who’ve also objected to Trump using their songs.

A privately owned helicopter crashed into a radio tower just outside Houston downtown Sunday night killing four on board, including a child, according to local officials. The Houston Fire Department said the R44 helicopter hit the tower at 7:54 pm local time, which would have been roughly an hour after sunset. A reporter from local news station KHOU noted that the Federal Aviation Administration published a notice last week notifying pilots that the lights on the tower weren’t working. “We saw this bright light flying toward the church,” Marco Perez, who was attending an outdoor concert at the nearby Our Lady of Guadalupe, told the Houston Chronicle. “That light turned into an orange red fireball.” The resulting fire burned 100 to 200 yards of grass near the site and footage of the aftermath shows a horrific inferno amid contorted metal debris, but first responders were able to secure the site, including electricity and gas provisions. A security camera at the home of one resident recorded the crash from a distance, while another person posted a video of the resulting fireball in the immediate aftermath of the crash. The FAA, National Transportation Safety Board, and Houston’s fire and police departments are investigating the crash.

Academy Award winner Jennifer Lawrence is pregnant with her second child, the actor’s rep confirmed to Vogue. Lawrence, 34, shares a 2-year-old son with husband Cooke Maroney, 40, the director of New York City’s Gladstone Gallery, which reps art world stars Elizabeth Peyton and Matthew Barney as well as the estates of Robert Mapplethorpe and Robert Rauschenberg. They married in 2019 in Rhode Island. Vogue posted an image of Lawrence from the weekend which showed her having “stepped out to dinner in Los Angeles wearing a La Ligne t-shirt and sweater with her baby bump just visible.” While her acting career—highlighted by The Hunger Games and Silver Linings Playbook—remains at the fore of Hollywood, Lawrence has also shifted greater emphasis on producing documentaries: Zurawski v. Texas, about Texas’ strict anti-abortion law and executive-produced alongside Hillary Clinton, debuts later this week. Next month, Bread & Roses, about women living under Taliban rule in Afghanistan and co-produced with Malala Yousafzai, will stream on Apple TV+. “I can’t f--- with people who aren’t political anymore,” Lawrence told Vogue in 2022. “You live in the United States of America. You have to be political.”

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz responded to Donald Trump’s Sunday shift at a McDonald’s in suburban Pennsylvania, pointing out that the former president’s policies have not historically favored workers. The governor, Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate, took to X to retweet a news clip of Trump slinging fries. “This guy spent decades stiffing workers pay, cut overtime benefits for millions of people, and opposed any effort to raise the minimum wage,” he wrote, adding, “You know who has actually worked at McDonald’s, joined workers on picket lines, and fights for working people? @KamalaHarris.” Decked out in an apron, Trump worked the drive-thru window and manned the fry machine, the station that Harris says she worked when she was in college. Trump has repeatedly, without evidence, accused Harris of making up this biographical detail.
