JD Vance revealed his reaction to the assassination attempt on Donald Trump at a Pennsylvania campaign rally in July. The Ohio Republican claimed he initially thought the former president had been killed in the shooting that left Trump with an injury to the ear. News of the assassination attempt broke while Vance was mini golfing with his children. “At first I was so pissed, but then I go into like fight or flight mode with my kids,” he told Joe Rogan on his podcast, the Joe Rogan Experience. The GOP vice presidential pick “grabbed” his kids and “threw them in the car” to go home. Then, Vance said he loaded “all” his guns and stood “like a sentry” at his front door. Aside from Vance’s gun-toting trauma response, his appearance on Rogan’s show was host to myriad insights into Trump’s running mate including his affinity for Netflix’s Emily in Paris, which he called a “masterpiece,” and that he decided to accept the vice presidential nomination after speaking with his wife, Usha Vance, whom he said is “much smarter than I am.”

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg endorsed Kamala Harris for president Thursday in an op-ed published by Bloomberg News. “I do not agree with Vice President Kamala Harris on every issue, but earlier this week, I voted for her without hesitation,” he wrote. In his endorsement, outlined Harris’ and Donald Trump’s differences in policy and character, and urged “undecided voters of all political stripes” to vote for Harris. Bloomberg, who donated $50 million to Harris a few day sago, contrasted each of their policy positions on topics like abortion, gun safety, and climate change. The billionaire said Harris’ economic positions were “politically driven” but would “do far less damage” than Trump’s. He also devoted a significant portion of the op-ed to slamming Trump’s character, particularly his reaction to Jan. 6. “He made our country, the world’s greatest nation, look like a banana republic,” Bloomberg wrote. “Because for him, nothing—not America, not our Constitution, not democracy, not the rule of law, not the lives of police officers or any other citizen—matters more than his own vanity and glory.”

Keke Palmer is ready to talk about her breakup with Darius Jackson—specifically, what happened after the fitness instructor publicly shamed her on Twitter for wearing a sheer dress to an Usher concert in July 2023. “You a mom,” Jackson, the father of Palmer’s son, commented on her look, kicking off a firestorm that Palmer says “shocked” her. Speaking to People ahead of the publication of her book, The Master of Me, the actor says she was “speechless” when she found out about the controversy the next day. “I was at a photo shoot and everybody was looking all weird. I was like, ‘Are y’all good?’ And then I randomly was on my phone and I saw,“ she recalled. “It was so crazy. I didn’t want to engage with something that wasn’t reality and fan the fire.” Ultimately the couple split, and several months later, Palmer received a domestic violence restraining order against Jackson and temporary sole custody of their son. “It got so out of control,” she told People of their “unhealthy” relationship. “The only way I knew how to bring order was through the court.”

Donald Trump had trouble finding a place to hold Thursday’s rally in Albuquerque, New Mexico, after his campaign stiffed the city almost $445,000 the last time it was in town, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported. Originally event organizers wanted to hold the former president’s rally at the Albuquerque Convention Center, but the city refused to even consider it because the campaign still has an outstanding bill from a similar event in 2019. “If you’re not going to pay your bills, we’re just not going to entertain you using city facilities, and that’s the way it should be,” Mayor Tim Keller, a Democrat, said during a press conference. The campaign then found a venue at a private airplane hangar and wanted to shuttle rally goers from a public parking lot at an outdoor amphitheater. But the proposed parking arrangement was shut down because of the details of the contract that governs the lot’s subleases. The Trump campaign responded in its usual calm, measured way, accusing officials of “electoral interference.” State Land Commissioner Stephanie Garcia Richard wrote back, “Setting aside your highly-charged partisan letter with unfounded accusations… I would like to take this opportunity to clarify the facts for you,” and attached a copy of the contract. Now the campaign is using several parking lots in different parts of the city and encouraging rally goers to use Uber. A win for the gig economy.

Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan has changed his tune about having “no interest” in Donald Trump’s endorsement during a Wednesday call with Republican donors. Hogan, who is running for senate against Democrat candidate Angela Alsobrooks, has previously distanced himself from Trump‘s MAGA base, maintaining that the can win his race without the former president’s influence. However, when Logan was asked why the two seemed to harbor ill will for each other, he touted that he had Trump’s support. “Donald Trump actually endorsed me,” Logan said twice to donors on the call, CNN reported. Logan added that Trump’s endorsement helps with “hard core” Trumpers, which seemed to oppose Logan’s previous statements about winning without Trump. In response to the the report, Hogan’s campaign spokesperson issued a statement attempting to further contextualize his comments. “Governor Hogan was responding to a question about whether he and Former President Trump ‘hate’ each other,” said Blake Kernen. “Governor Hogan rejects the notion of hatred in politics, and will attempt to work with anybody who is elected.” Trump previously slammed Hogan for saying people should “respect the verdict” in Trump’s New York hush money trial.

YouTube claims it connects viewers with “authoritative information” about elections, but the video platform’s decision to allow far-right conspiracy theorists and election deniers has only amplified disinformation, a New York Times investigation alleges. The platform’s 2023 decision to stop restricting false claims about the 2020 presidential election being stolen by President Joe Biden, generated significant profits for YouTube and creators spreading conspiracy theories. Now, election deniers are using their platforms on the app to make elaborate claims undermining the 2024 presidential election. According to research by MediaMatters, from May to August, the 30 top conservative channels, with commentators like Rudy Giuliani, Tucker Carlson, and Ben Shapiro, posted 286 videos containing election misinformation, garnering more than 47 million views. YouTube, researchers say, generated revenue from more than a third of those videos through ads, and some creators also profited from their videos using monetization features available to certain channels. None of the videos, a spokeswoman for the platform said, violated the site’s community guidelines. “The ability to openly debate political ideas, even those that are controversial, is an important value—especially in the midst of election season,” she told The New York Times in a statement. While YouTube said it removes videos that mislead voters, the platform only scrubbed three of the videos found by Media Matters.

Fox & Friends co-host Steve Doocy didn‘t have a Halloween costume this year, that is until former president Donald Trump dawned a sanitation worker vest for his latest flamboyant publicity stunt. The Fox News morning chat show co-host spent most of Thursday‘s broadcast in a standard suit, but as the “Annual Fox & Friends Halloween Parade“ approached he traded in his dress jacket for a bright yellow and orange vest of his own. A day earlier, Trump wore a near-identical get-up, complete with a white collared shirt and suit pants, while he posed for cameras with a garbage truck and later spewed out creepy thoughts about how he‘ll take care of women, admitting that his own advisors told him to stop doing that. During a man-on-the-street segment where Doocy asked people what they thought of Trump‘s bit, he called the Republican nominee’s antics ”the best news" for giving him an easy outfit on All Hallows’ Eve. Meanwhile, co-host Ainsley Earhardt dressed up “like a cowgirl on a dog,” which left even her confused: “What is this costume?”

Elon Musk’s followers have subjected the Philadelphia District Attorney to an “avalanche” of antisemitism over his lawsuit alleging Musk’s $1 million giveaways to swing-state voters are an illegal lottery. The billionaire owner of X shared a post on his social media platform saying, “George Soros spent $1.7M to get Larry elected. He knows [the giveaway] is not illegal but wants a leftist judge to stop it before Election Day.” Musk’s followers replied with messages like, “Krasner and Soros, both Jewish, both corrupt goons,” and, “What’s the Jewish population of Pennsylvania? Weird how they end up in a position of consequence every single time.” Another follower repeatedly posted Krasner’s home address along with the message, “Krasner loves visitors. Mask up and leave all cellphones at home.” In response to the threats, Krasner asked the judge in the lottery case to enhance security at an upcoming hearing. The court agreed to move the hearing up a day to Thursday and change the location to City Hall, which has better security than the courtroom where it was originally scheduled, Politico reported. The hearing is scheduled to begin in a few hours.

A speciality cheesemonger may be closer to establishing the identity of the stinker who moved their cheese—without paying for it—after British police said they had arrested a 63-year-old man in connection with the theft of 22 tons of top-quality cheddar from Neal’s Yard Dairy. The theft grabbed headlines worldwide after the celebrated artisanal food dealer sent 950 cloth-bound wheels of cheese to fraudsters last month when an elaborate scam conned them into believing they were dealing with a legitimate wholesale distributor. The hot cheese may have been smuggled to far flung markets in the Middle East or Russia, some reports have claimed. Tom Calver, a cheesemaker who had 432 wheels of cheddar weighing 10 ton swiped in the heist told The Telegraph that he hoped the story of the robbery capturing headlines “would lead to some kind of justice.” He added: “The artisan cheese world is a small one and there is no other like it. Our industry is built on long-standing relationships where there is always trust and integrity in every sale. To feel like that such an old, traditional artisan product as our raw milk cheddars is being targeted is incredibly concerning.”

Thin-skinned Radiohead star Thom Yorke flounced off the stage during a show in Melbourne on Wednesday night after being heckled by a single pro-Palestine protester in a crowd of thousands. Yorke has long been a target of criticism from the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, owing to his band having regularly played in Israel. Yorke, who has described the BDS movement as a “cultural ban,” was interrupted by a man in the crowd yelling at him about “the Israeli genocide of Gaza,” shouting that half the dead “were children.” Rather than making use of the array of sound amplification technology at his disposal to drown out the lone individual, Yorke stopped playing and said: “Come up here and say that. Right here, come on. Hop up on the f---ing stage and say what you wanna say. Don’t stand there like a coward, come here and say it. You want to p--s on everybody’s night?” The protester, thus encouraged to speak his mind, continued to do so, to which Yorke responded, “OK, you do it, see you later, then,” and walked offstage to astonished boos from the crowd. He returned a few minutes later and performed his final song of the evening, Radiohead’s 1997 hit “Karma Police.” The Sidney Myer Music Bowl in Melbourne can accommodate 13,000 fans and had sold out.
