A giant, naked statue of Donald Trump that has been trolling Republicans across the U.S. has reappeared in Philadelphia. The 43-foot, 6,000-pound statue first debuted in Las Vegas in September. It depicts Trump completely nude, held up by a crane. The statue also made stops in Detroit, Phoenix and Madison, all cities in swing states, as part of the “Crooked and Obscene Tour.” The tour’s anonymous organizers told TheWrap that Trump’s nudity “is intentional, serving as a bold statement on transparency, vulnerability, and the public personas of political figures.” A photo posted Thursday to X shows police gathered around the statue. When it made it appearance in Nevada, the state Republican party “strongly” condemned the installation, saying in a statement that families driving through Vegas would be “forced to view this offensive marionette, designed intentionally for shock value rather than meaningful dialogue.”

This isn’t even Philadelphia’s first mysterious Trump statue of the week. A statue of Trump popped up behind a statue of a naked woman in a Philadelphia park on Wednesday, inscribed with: “In Honor of a Lifetime of Sexual Assault,” along with Trump’s infamous Access Hollywood comments. Nor is this the first naked Trump statue tour. In 2016, six statues of a nude Trump were displayed in cities across America, entitled “The Emperor Has No Balls.”

Megyn Kelly saw Donald Trump’s garbage truck stunt and apparently thought, I can do even better than that! The former Fox News and NBC host, who now stumps for the MAGA movement full-time on her SiriusXM show, shared a photo of her Halloween costume on Thursday, which consisted of a black garbage bag and red “Make America Great Again” hat. “Happy Halloween Garbage People!” Kelly tweeted, proudly embracing the term that she and the rest of the Trump apparatus believe President Joe Biden used to smear them earlier this week. Biden quickly clarified that he was referring to the rhetoric of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who himself called Puerto Rico an “island of garbage” at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally. But that has not stopped Trump and his supporters from seizing on the comment in the same way they proudly called themselves “deplorable” after Hillary Clinton used that pejorative to describe them in 2016. Trump has similarly called America a “garbage can for the world” in rally speeches in the final weeks and days leading up to 2024 election.

Rapper Young Thug pleaded guilty to gang-related charges on Thursday and will be released to serve 15 years of probation—over two years after he was first indicted and jailed as part of the racketeering case against his record label, YSL Records. Prosecutors were unable to reach a plea deal with the Atlanta rapper, whose real name is Jeffrey Williams, and he entered a non-negotiated plea—meaning Fulton County Judge Paige Reese Whitaker had the final say over his sentence. Williams pleaded guilty to six drug and gun-related charges, but pleaded no contest to a charge of racketeering conspiracy and another charge of participating in a criminal street gang. “I take full responsibility for my crimes,” Williams said before apologizing to his family. “I know the choice is up to you, and I hope that you allow me to go home today and trust in me to do the right thing,” Williams told the court. He was eventually given a 40-year sentence with the first five years commuted to time served, and will be released on probation for the next 15 years. Williams was also given a 20-year prison sentence backloaded, but this will only kick in if he violates his probation. If he completes his probation without violating the conditions, this sentence will be commuted to time served as well.

Donald Trump’s childhood home, which has sat vacant for years, now has a new inhabitant: a horde of feral cats. Neighbors of the Queens property told Curbed that the house now holds 20 to 30 cats, fed by a volunteer. Interest in the house, where Trump lived until he was four years old, first sparked around the 2016 election. The house has since been put on the market and purchased several times for over $1 million by a string of anonymous, shadowy buyers. At one point in 2017 it was an Airbnb raking in $815 a night. Now, Curbed reports the house is in a state of complete disrepair, with the mailbox “stuffed with overdue bills,” the doorknob “smashed, and cobwebs have taken over the windows,” coupled with a “pungent smell” emitting from the front yard. There’s also a sign that says, “DO NOT TAKE KITTENS FROM THIS PROPERTY.” A neighbor said that attempts to contact the owner have failed.

NBA superstar LeBron James endorsed Kamala Harris on Thursday, posting a somber video highlighting Donald Trump’s incendiary racial comments on X. “What are we even talking about here?? When I think about my kids and my family and how they will grow up, the choice is clear to me. VOTE KAMALA HARRIS!!!” James wrote. The minute-long video overlaid Trump’s comments with images from the civil rights movement, including Emmett Till’s mother crying over his casket and police officers spraying protestors with fire hoses. “These are troublemakers, look?” Trump said over clips of civil rights marches interspersed with clips of Black Lives Matter protests. The video also begins with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally that he “carved watermelons” with a Black friend for Halloween. “Of course I hate these people. And let’s all hate these people because maybe hate is what we need,” a clip of Trump said. The video ended with the message, “Hate takes us back.”

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.”

The Economist endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris on Thursday, warning that a second Donald Trump administration “poses an unacceptable risk to America and the world.” While Harris' shortcomings are “ordinary” and not disqualifying, its editors write, the same cannot be said of her opponent. “By making Mr. Trump leader of the free world, Americans would be gambling with the economy, the rule of law and international peace. We cannot quantify the chance that something will go badly wrong: nobody can. But we believe voters who minimise it are deluding themselves,” they explain. The endorsement from the U.K.-based publication, which has supported each Democratic presidential nominee since John Kerry in 2004, comes shortly after nearly two dozen Nobel Prize-winning economists said that Harris' economic proposals are “vastly superior” to Trump’s.

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.”

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.
