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.

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.

True crime doc star Joe Exotic, currently serving prison time in Florida for animal abuse and attempted murder for hire, is engaged to an “amazing” fellow inmate and they plan to wed before Christmas. The central figure of Netflix’s Tiger King, real name Joseph Allen Maldonado, confirmed his pending nuptials with Jorge Marquez, 33, in a prison phone call to Entertainment Weekly. “We filed our official papers for the marriage license from the prison yesterday, so we’re just waiting for an approval,” he told the magazine. “He has picked out December 12 as the date we’re hoping to get this approved by.” In a tweet earlier this week, Exotic, 61, said his new beau is “so amazing and is from Mexico” adding they are working at “getting him asylum or we be leaving America when we both get out.” He added, in a follow-up post seemingly predicting the result of next week’s presidential election, “now I got to Convince Trump to let me keep him in America.”

Watch Trump Get Defeated by Trash Truck’s Door

Donald Trump had trouble opening the door of a garbage truck during a photo op Wednesday in Green Bay, Wisconsin. While pretending to be a garbage man, Trump struggled to grasp the handle of the cab door, causing him to temporarily lose his balance and stumble to his left. He eventually was able to open the door and climb inside, but the moment was captured on tape and later shown on cable news and in commentary on social media. The mishap was even played on Fox News' Hannity, where the Trump-adoring namesake host insisted that the 78-year-old former president’s garbage truck stunt “may go down as an iconic, epic moment that we will remember for a long time.”

Most updates improve the phone experience. Sometimes, that means adding something fun or making a feature easier to use. The exception to this rule lies with the keyboard. Not since T9 has typing technology improved a thing. Fortunately, Clicks is changing that with its keyboard phone case. It’s designed with tactile buttons that help you type easily and avoid typos. The physical keyboard also removes the digital one from the lower half of your screen, letting you type longer emails without returning them to your computer.

Clicks Keyboard iPhone Case

However, the best feature of this keyboard phone case is the personalized shortcuts that launch frequently used apps or messages with your favorite contacts. Let’s face it: the group chat is tired of the sloppy texts. Digital keyboards are not user-friendly, and they take up a large portion of your screen. It’s nicer when you can see the keyboard light up and actually feel the buttons on your thumbs. Clicks is now compatible with Android and the iPhone 16. So, our verdict is out—if it clicks, don’t fix it.

Stormy Daniels is finally getting the recognition she deserves. The former adult film star will be honored by the witches of Salem during their annual Halloween event, after enduring a modern-day witch hunt for testifying against Donald Trump. Daniels, 45, told The Boston Globe she and her 13-year-old daughter are both practicing witches. “I can’t find the words to explain emotionally how big this is to me,” she said. Daniels has received death and rape threats from Trump supporters since testifying that the former president paid her $130,000 to keep quiet about a consensual sexual encounter they had in 2006, soon after Trump’s wife Melania had given birth to son Barron. The Republican presidential candidate was convicted of 34 counts of fraud in connection with the payment, which his former lawyer Michael Cohen attempted to cover up for him. Daniels has said the trial “physically destroyed” her. She told the Globe she’s been living out of an RV after Trump’s lawyer “accidentally” showed her home address during the trial. “I’m living in an RV because I can’t go home,” she said. “The persecution those witches felt hundreds of years ago feels very familiar to me.”

Washington Post Opinion Editor Takes Bezos to Town in Leaked Meeting Audio

A tense meeting at The Washington Post reportedly saw its editorial page editor lay into owner Jeff Bezos over his decision to bar the paper from endorsing a presidential candidate, according to audio obtained by conservative news site The Washington Free Beacon. According to the report, opinion editor David Shipley called the move a “bomb” and said that staff would be “picking up the pieces” for the foreseeable future. It is unclear how the outlet obtained the audio, and both Shipley and The Post did not comment when quizzed by The Free Beacon. Shipley allegedly told staffers about a one-hour, one-on-one meeting he had with Bezos, where he “made very strenuous efforts” to change the billionaire’s mind, but failed. When asked if Bezos had seemed favorable to either candidate, Shipley allegedly said, “I’m not going to say who he expressed a desire for or supported, because that’s just not my place.” Shipley warned staffers, according to The Free Beacon, “Whatever you decide, I’m good with it. What I really do want to impart is that you do not get stuck in the middle. Don’t be here if you don’t want to.” However, staff at the paper contested parts of the report. Though The Free Beacon said opinion writer Jen Rubin “emailed the Free Beacon a quote from one of her columns,” which questioned the ethics of a newspaper owner who also has significant business tied up in government contracts. Rubin, however, took to X after the story was published and claimed that the premise was false: ”My comments quoted are from other public statements.”

Saint West’s Youtube Channel has been taken down, allegedly by mom Kim Kardashian after he posted negative videos about Vice President Kamala Harris. Kardashian announced in September that Saint, 8, started his channel and invited her followers to subscribe. Following the news, Kardashian also shared a contract she had Saint sign about the channel. “I must show my mom or guardian all videos before I post them. I give permission to any grown up if mom says to delete my video for any reason. If I don’t listen to all of the rules, mom could make my page private or delete my account,” it read. On Tuesday, the account appeared to have posted two derogatory videos directed at Harris. Screen recordings of the videos show they have the same handle as Saint’s account. By Wednesday, Saint’s channel had been taken down. Saint’s parents, Kardashian and Kanye West, have opposing political views. West has been an ardent supporter of Donald Trump, while Kardashian endorsed Hillary Clinton in 2016 and tweeted her support when Joe Biden won the election in 2020.

WATCH: Trump Says No One Leaves His Rallies as Man Exits Behind Him

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.

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.

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.

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.”
