Donald Trump appears to be working through his crowd envy with a tried-and-true method: rage posting to Truth Social. After Vice President Kamala Harris drew 75,000 people to a rally at the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., the former president fired off a series of angry late-night missives. “Kamala’s speech was terrible, full of lies and nothing new,” he wrote on his social media platform Truth Social in the middle of the night. “Where are the jobs? There are none!” Two hours later, he followed up with, “Pennsylvania is cheating, and getting caught, at large scale levels rarely seen before. REPORT CHEATING TO AUTHORITIES. Law enforcement must act, NOW!” The post was apparently in response to false reports that Pennsylvania officials had sent early voters home without ballots. Trump has a tendency to lash out on Truth Social when he’s upset, and although he claims nobody draws crowds like he does, the size of Harris’ rallies has been a sore spot throughout the campaign. A Harvard analysis found that Harris rallies draw, on average, twice as many attendees as Trump’s. The D.C. Metropolitan Police Department expected about 20,000 people to show up to Harris’s D.C. rally—roughly the same number that packed Madison Square Garden for Trump on Sunday. In fact, the vice president’s event ballooned to more than 52,000 people, causing overflow on the Washington Mall, before ultimately reach 75,000, a campaign official said.

Elon Musk’s Role in Campaign Prompts MAGA Concerns in Michigan

A MAGA world insider in Michigan is not happy with former president Donald Trump‘s decision to hand over responsibility for much of the swing state’s Republican ground game to billionaire Elon Musk. According to a report in Wired, the campaign efforts of Musk‘s America PAC in the Wolverine State—which is relying heavily on a low-grade mobile app with no geo-tracking that doesn’t even appear in the Android or Apple store, a potentially illegal $1 million daily lottery giveaway, and MAGA-infused vibes—has one anonymous Trump World strategist fretting about the Republican nominee’s purported Silicon Valley savior. “I think it’s what happens when you let a bunch of grifters take over,” the strategist told the magazine. “Sh-t is always gonna produce sh-t.” In addition to the lottery and app, Musk has funneled tens of millions of his own money into the PAC for canvassers, paid $30 an hour, to blitz swing states on Trump’s behalf. But, given the newfound operation, the Trump World strategist said “it’s hard to track the output, and thus the effectiveness of the output.” Trump’s Michigan campaign said it is “the most sophisticated and modern campaign, ever” and noted its dozens of campaign offices, 100 paid staff in the state, and 6,000 “Trump captains.”

WATCH: Trump Says No One Leaves His Rallies as Man Exits Behind Him
DON’T MIND ME

Donald Trump has long claimed that nobody leaves his rallies early. But the contrast between his words and reality have never been as sharply on display as they were during his rally in Rocky Mount, North Carolina on Wednesday. In a moment that aired on Fox News and other networks—and was quickly highlighted by the Kamala Harris campaign on social media—Trump claimed that he “never has an empty seat” at his rallies. He then began attacking Harris directly for saying during their one debate that people leave the rallies early. “Nobody leaves early,” Trump said, just as a man behind him wearing a shirt with the former president‘s mugshot on it, could be seen walking out. If he “saw them leave early,” Trump said he would immediately stop talking and end the rally. “But I’ve never had to do that,” he said, continuing on without noticing what had happened. A couple of minutes later, Fox cut out of the rally to return to its regularly scheduled programming.

Jenna Dewan’s fiancé is seemingly chiming in on Channing Tatum and Zoe Kravitz’s split. Dewan and Tatum were married for nine years before they split in 2018. Broadway star Steve Kazee, Dewan’s fiancé, posted “HAHAHAHA” on his Instagram shortly after the news broke Tuesday.

He then posted a TikTok about a houseplant dying and tagged Dewan. He followed that up with a series of explanation posts. “A guy can’t laugh about a houseplant Tik Tok in todays world I see…” he wrote. Later he shared photos of his own wilting plants. “See? It’s funny because it’s relatable. Get a life,” he posted. Kazee’s rep told Page Six that he was laughing at the TikTok he shared, not Kravitz and Tatum’s split. Kravitz and Tatum reportedly broke off their engagement after three years together. Tatum and Dewan finalized their divorce last month, six years after they separated.

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 GOP representative is running for re-election in a New York district where he doesn’t actually live. Republican incumbent Nicholas LaLota is hoping to retain his 1st congressional district seat against Democratic challenger John Avlon, author of the 2021 book Lincoln and the Fight for Peace and former editor-in-chief of the Daily Beast. The results of the election could shift the balance of power between Democrats and Republicans in the House of Representatives, reported CBS News. However, only one of the candidates will be able to cast a vote for themselves. “No, I can’t vote in this election,” said LaLota in a video taken at a candidate forum in early October. “But 170,000 people voted for me two years ago.” Avlon pounced on the admission and called it “unusual.” He added, “I live in Sag Harbor, that’s my home, and I’ve been a part of that community for well over a decade.” Responses to LaLota’s admission have ranged from outrage to disbelief. Yet one social media user on X perhaps said it best, “SERIOUSLY??!!”

Trumpers Allege Conspiracy as ABC Appears to Display Election Result

Right-wing conspiracy theorists were jolted to life when a local ABC affiliate appeared to show Kamala Harris winning the battleground state of Pennsylvania over Donald Trump on a ticker running beneath a broadcast of the Formula 1 Mexico Grand Prix on Sunday. The apparent election results—which aired on WNEP-TV, an affiliate in Moosic, Pennsylvania—had the Democrat garnering 52 percent of the votes, with Trump at 47. Current polling has the race for the state’s 19 electors at an exact deadlock. Frenzied social media skeptics were quick to allege massive fraud against Trump: “The cheat is in,” wrote user @TGrammie2 underneath an X with a screenshot of the ticker. “They leaked the script!” added user @JustinSutliffe. After the incident, a broadcaster for the channel said that the numbers were a mistake and did not reflect actual election results, The Daily Mail reported. “The numbers seen on the screen were randomly generated test results sent out to help news organizations make sure their equipment is working properly in advance of election night,” the broadcaster reportedly said. Trump, who alleged fraud after he lost the 2020 election, has urged his supporters to make 2024 “too big to rig.” Trump and Harris continue to campaign feverishly to win Pennsylvania and other battleground states.

Buzz Aldrin, the second man to walk on the moon, endorsed Donald Trump for president in a statement released Tuesday. Aldrin highlighted Trump’s commitment to exploration in his endorsement. “Over the years, I have seen our government’s approach to space wax and wane, a fluctuating dynamic that has disappointed me from time to time,” Aldrin wrote. “Under President Trump’s first term, America saw a revitalized interest in space. His Administration reignited national efforts to get back to the Moon, and push on to Mars – programs that continue today.” Aldrin added that Trump reinstated the National Space Council and created the U.S. Space Force. He also pointed to “great advancements in the private sector space economy, led by visionaries like Elon Musk.”

Actress Nina Dobrev and Olympian Shaun White are officially engaged after five years together. The couple announced the news with photos posted to Instagram and a Vogue article detailing the engagement plans. White told the magazine that he had originally planned to propose this summer, but changed his mind after Dobrev got into a dirt biking accident. Then he wanted to propose in Cape Town, South Africa in November, but scrapped that when Dobrev grew suspicious of his plans. Finally he settled on a restaurant in New York—until Dobrev said she felt under the weather and didn’t want to go.

So he crafted a fake invitation to a Vogue dinner with Anna Wintour. But instead of Anna, it was White at the restaurant. “I went into shock. I just froze and stared at him,” Dobrev told Vogue. Dobrev and White first met at a workshop organized by businessman Tony Robbins in 2019. They announced their relationship on Instagram in May 2020, and have been together ever since.

Diddy’s sons were gearing up for a fist-fight with Ray J before Chris Brown stepped in, TMZ reported. Three of Diddy’s sons, Christian, Quincy and Justin, confronted Ray J at a Halloween party in L.A. over comments Ray J made about their father. Diddy has been accused of sex trafficking and sexual assault. While Ray J was leaving the party, he was approached by the brothers, who “made it clear they wanted to fight,” sources told TMZ. Then an unlikely hero stepped in: Chris Brown, who was watching from his car, swooped in and diffused the situation. There were no injuries reported. Publicly, Ray J has spoken about Diddy diplomatically. “We’ve all been around him, at least in my era, and have looked up to him,” Ray J said on Cuomo following Diddy’s arrest. “And this situation is super unfortunate, but it’s important to learn a lesson right right now and ensure the next generation understands how to move differently with transparency and integrity.”

SCOTUS Sides With Trump to Let Virginia Voter Purge Continue
CRACKING DOWN

The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that the state of Virginia can continue to purge suspected illegal immigrants from its voter rolls. The emergency appeal allows the state’s Republican governor, Glenn Youngkin, to forge ahead with an executive order he issued over the summer. Voting rights groups vociferously opposed the program. A judge last week found that it illegally canceled the registrations of 1,600 voters since August, including American citizens. Donald Trump slammed that ruling on Truth Social, writing, “Only U.S. Citizens should be allowed to vote!” and baselessly accusing the judge, who was appointed by Joe Biden, of being a tool in Kamala Harris’ alleged plot to weaponize the justice system. While it’s very rare for non-citizens to vote, the Republican nominee has made numerous allegations about such fraud in his campaign messaging. He has falsely accused Democrats of encouraging undocumented migrants to vote. Wednesday’s ruling broke along ideological lines, with the court’s three Democratic appointees dissenting.
