Former president Donald Trump claimed that his daughter, Tiffany Trump, graduated top of her class from Georgetown Law. The problem? Georgetown Law doesn’t rank its students, according to their website. “She was a great student, and she went to a fantastic law school, graduated No. 1 in her class,” Trump said at an event in Concord, North Carolina on Monday. Tiffany didn’t graduate with honors either, according to Georgetown Law’s list of JD graduate honors. Tiffany attended the University of Pennsylvania for undergrad, then graduated from Georgetown Law in 2020. Tiffany’s law school rank isn’t the only remark her father has made about her on the campaign trail. Earlier this month, he announced that she was pregnant with her first child with businessman Michael Boulos. Trump used his rally stops in North Carolina to make false claims about the response of FEMA to Hurricane Helene, which devastated western North Carolina. Trump said that FEMA is diverting aid to help illegal immigrants, which has been debunked.

Meta has suspended a number of accounts on its social media platforms Instagram and Threads that share updates on movements of private jets owned by moguls and celebrities such as Mark Zuckerberg, Elon Musk, Bill Gates, Jeff Bezos, Kim Kardashian, and Kylie Jenner. Jack Sweeney, the Florida college student who coded many of the jet-tracking bots using publicly available data, revealed Monday that many, but not all, of his accounts had been disabled. The ones that were not suspended included trackers on the flights of politicians, such as Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis, which Sweeney said in a Threads post was “quite strange.” A Meta spokesperson told TechCrunch that the suspended accounts violated its privacy policy. “Given the risk of physical harm to individuals, and in keeping with the independent Oversight Board’s recommendation, we’ve disabled these accounts for violating our privacy policy,” the spokesperson said. Sweeney’s jet trackers on X were banned in December 2022 after he butted heads with Musk, the platform’s owner. Taylor Swift also sent Sweeney a cease and desist letter in 2023 for tracking her flights during the Eras tour after she got a flood of bad press over the huge carbon footprint of her frequent private air travel.

Trump’s Bigot Pal Laura Loomer Says She’s ‘Blacker Than Kamala Harris’

Former President Donald Trump’s bigoted and Islamophobic pal Laura Loomer has joined the chorus of right-wing and Republican fixtures to baselessly question Vice President Kamala Harris’ race. “I’m not Black, obviously,” Loomer said on an Oct. 18 video stream, Media Matters noted. “I’m not going to pretend to be Black like Kamala Harris does, although I will say I’m Blacker than Kamala Harris.” Harris, who is Black and South Asian, has long touted her heritage, despite right-wing claims to the contrary, including from Trump who falsely claimed in July that she “happened to turn Black.” “I’m Black, and I’m proud of being Black, and I was born Black, I will die Black,” Harris told The Breakfast Club in 2019. Loomer accused Harris of rolling out “fake accents”—a previous obsession of Fox News host Steve Doocy. As HuffPost’s Nathalie Baptiste noted last month, “What Harris is doing on the campaign trail is called code-switching: the practice of changing your tone and syntax depending on your audience.” That is neither new nor novel for politicians. Last month, Republicans, including many staunch Trump allies, lined up to slam Loomer after she made racist attacks on Harris' Indian heritage and Trump invited her, a 9/11 conspiracist, to memorials for the attacks in New York City and Pennsylvania. Loomer, who had been travelling with Trump and denied having an affair with him, was subsequently pushed out from the MAGA inner sanctum.

Multi-platinum rapper Eminem is set to take the stage at a Kamala Harris rally in his home city of Detroit, Michigan on Tuesday night, CNN reports. Not as a headline act, or even if a musical capacity, but to introduce former President Barack Obama as well as delivering his own thoughts on the state of the nation ahead of the historic election now just two weeks away. Though the once-ubiquitous hip hop icon puts in few public appearances nowadays, he’s proven himself a longtime backer of Harris’. Eminem has also made little secret of his contempt for her Republican opponent in the past, having previously accused Trump of “brainwashing” his party’s supporters. “Watching him play his base that thinks that he cares about them—and it’s actually the people that he cares about the f---ing least,” as he said in a viral post from Aug. 2023. All eyes on Detroit tonight.

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.

Eye Recovery Pro Mask With Red & Infrared Light Therapy

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.

A Florida woman allegedly used the online gaming platform Roblox to instruct a 10-year-old to kill a 2-month-old infant by dropping it on a tile floor, The Independent reported. Tara Sykes, 36, who reportedly connected with the child over Roblox’s built-in social media, also told them to scald the baby with boiling water, slit the throats of the adults the children were staying with, and set the corpses on fire, the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office said. The child was “unable to carry out instructions” for harming the adults, the police said, but did hurt the infant, who “suffered serious injuries” after being dropped but is expected to survive. Sykes is under arrest and faces a charge of attempted murder while engaged in aggravated child abuse. “I have been in Law Enforcement for over 40 years and have never seen anything quite like this,” said Escambia County Sheriff Chip Simmons. “I am truly disturbed by the circumstances and the thought that anyone could think like this, let alone instruct these acts to be carried out. There is something really wrong with her.” According to court records, The Independent reported, Sykes and her husband were previously arrested and charged with child neglect and causing bodily harm after their 14-year-old daughter was found pregnant and malnourished in their home.

HBO’s Real Time host Bill Maher, 68, admitted his “dating is not age-appropriate” and told anyone who would criticize his romantic pursuits, “f--- you. You do you, I do me. You do what works for you.” Maher made the remarks on the Him & Her podcast, where he was asked if the women he dates could be “perceived” as “younger than what you should be dating.” He asserted in response: “They literally are, they literally are.” Maher was recently spotted leaving L.A.’s Chateau Marmont with 30-year-old Noor Alfallah, who was until recently in a relationship with 84-year-old Al Pacino, with whom she shares a 1-year-old son. “Bill’s my friend, just my friend,” she later said. On his Club Random podcast, Maher also recently and creepily suggested to 21-year-old Haliey Welch, of “Hawk Tuah” fame, that she start a sex-focused podcast on his network, and he brought up porn when talking to two young children on another episode of the show. Last year, he had an oddly sexual exchange with 76-year-old Richard Dreyfuss, asking him what he thinks about when he pleasures himself. Dreyfuss, who spent the interview slipping down his chair in increasingly horrible posture, confessed “incestuous thoughts was the engine that drove my masturbation.”

Diddy’s children took to Instagram Tuesday to share a message of support for their father. Quincy, Justin, King, Chance, and twins Jessie and D’Lila wrote in a joint statement that the last month has “devastated” their family. “Many have judged both him and us based on accusations, conspiracy theories, and false narratives that have spiraled into absurdity on social media,” the post read. The siblings’ statement comes the day after Diddy was hit with seven new lawsuits, including allegations that he drugged and raped a 13-year-old girl. The photo featured the children with Diddy, Diddy’s mother Janice Combs, along with Diddy’s youngest child Love with her mother Dana Tran. The kids said that they will support Diddy “every step of the way.” TMZ reported that the kids “voluntarily chose” to share the post. “We hold onto the truth, knowing it will prevail, and nothing will break the strength of our family. WE MISS YOU & LOVE YOU DAD,” the statement finished.

Baffled Rescuers Reveal How Woman Ended Up Trapped Upside Down Between Boulders for 7 Hours

Emergency workers in Australia carried out a bizarre rescue operation on Saturday, saving a woman who’d managed to get herself trapped upside down between two boulders in search of her phone. Friends of Matilda Campbell, who’s reportedly in her early 20s, spent at least an hour trying to pull her by her ankles out of a 10-foot “S bend” in the stone before eventually calling the region’s ambulance service. The emergency team, made up of “multidisciplinary” workers, used a specialist winch to move one of the 500kg boulders aside before gradually freeing her from her “unlikely predicament” some seven hours after she’d first slipped in. “In my 10 years as a rescue paramedic I had never encountered a job quite like this,” one worker said. Campbell later posted on social media there’d be “no more rock exploration for me for a while” – presumably from a friend’s phone, given despite her very best efforts, her own remained lost to the rocky depths.

Elon Musk’s $1 Million Lottery Went to Two Republicans Who’d Already Voted

At least two of the three Pennsylvania voters to win MAGA billionaire Elon Musk’s controversial $1 million super PAC lottery so far are registered Republicans who have already voted, Politico reported. The first two winners, John Dreher and Kristine Fishell, sent in mail-in ballots before winning the purse, awarded daily by America PAC until election day, state records cited by the outlet show. Politico said that raises the question of whether Musk’s multimillion-dollar stunt is mostly drawing fanboys of Musk and former President Donald Trump instead of the swing voters needed to win the election. The voting status of the third winner, Shannon Tomei, was not immediately clear. Some experts have said Musk’s lottery amounts to illegal vote buying, while America PAC and Musk have said signing up doesn’t require a party affiliation and only asks that voters sign a pro free speech and pro gun rights petition. The petition, nevertheless, requires people who sign to hand over their precious personal data to the committee, which is using voter information to target voters in advance of the election on behalf of the Trump campaign. Musk has given $75 million to his pro-Trump group so far.

Harvey Weinstein is undergoing treatment after being diagnosed with cancer, according to NBC News. Two unidentified sources told NBC the former Hollywood producer has chronic myeloid leukemia, a rare form of bone marrow cancer. Weinstein is undergoing treatment at Rikers Island in New York, the sources added. A spokesperson seethed at the announcement in a statement sent to Variety, calling it “unacceptable” and “troubling.” It read: “Craig Rothfeld, Mr. Weinstein’s authorized legal healthcare representative in New York State, expresses profound dismay at the speculation surrounding Mr. Weinstein’s medical condition. It is both troubling and unacceptable that such private and confidential health matters have become a subject of public discourse. Out of respect for Mr. Weinstein’s privacy, we will offer no further comment.” Weinstein most recently appeared in a New York court in September. He was wheeled into the courtroom in a wheelchair after undergoing heart surgery while in July, Weinstein was hospitalized for a “myriad of health conditions,” including diabetes and COVID-19, according to ABC News.
