Former President Donald Trump called rival Kamala Harris a "s--- vice president" during a rally in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, Saturday evening, punctuating his broader argument that she is too liberal in a more aggressive fashion and with fresh vulgarity. "And then, so you have to tell Kamala Harris that you’ve had enough, that you just can’t take it anymore. You’re a s--- vice president." Trump added the catchphrase from his bygone television show "The Apprentice" to cheers: "Kamala, you're fired," he said. The Harris campaign quickly pounced on the anecdote.

The four leaders had planned to meet the prior week with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at Ramstein Air Base, a meeting that was scrapped when Biden postponed his foreign travel as Hurricane Milton barreled toward the southeastern US. Biden pledged to reschedule the trip to Germany, but the outlook for the meeting of the so-called European Quad, had been unclear. Zelensky went ahead with his planned travel to Germany on Friday for a bilateral visit with Scholz, in which the German leader pledged an additional $1.5 billion in new aid. Zelensky met with Vice President Kamala Harris during a visit to Washington in September and met in person with former President Donald Trump, too. This is a breaking story and will be updated.

Her case is far from unique, however: Hospitals across the United States have said they’re taking steps to conserve their supply of IV fluids, including postponing or canceling nonemergency surgeries. IV fluids do more than deliver drugs or electrolytes directly into a patient’s bloodstream.

A number of IV products, including sodium chloride, dextrose and sterile water, have already been in short supply.

"While rescheduling has advanced, and if adopted it would mark the largest incremental step forward in federal cannabis reform to date, the fact remains that it is not completed." In late August, Trump departed from his usual stance that cannabis legalization should be left up to each individual state. "The fact that both Republican and Democratic Presidential candidates now support federal cannabis reform increases the probability that federal cannabis legalization is simply a matter of time," said Bernstein analyst Nadine Sarwat, in a recent note. However, while candidate support has boosted the market, Bernstein also noted that growth has been stagnant in the category as it faces macro headwinds. "Despite all the headlines regarding potential federal reform, state-level sales performance is sobering," Sarwat said.

Earlier this year, a federal judge ordered Musk to testify as part of the SEC’s probe of the billionaire’s $44 billion acquisition. The agency is examining whether Musk followed the law when disclosing his purchases of Twitter stock and whether his statements in relation to the deal were misleading. The SEC asked the court to impose “meaningful conditional relief” if Musk does not appear at the new October testimony date. The SEC also said it intends to file a sanctions motion against Musk to recoup its travel costs for the cancelled testimony and for other relief.

Kurtz said Friday that the outage was not a cyberattack or security incident, and CrowdStrike deployed a fix that day. Green and Garbarino asked CrowdStrike to set up a hearing with the Subcommittee on Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Protection by Wednesday at the latest.

In the hours after the American cybersecurity firm CrowdStrike deployed a flawed software update that crippled critical businesses and services around the world, scammers pounced. Government agencies and businesses have warned that the panic caused by the CrowdStrike crash on Friday has given criminals an opening to take advantage of customers who are looking to reschedule flights, access banking information or fix their technology. CrowdStrike provides cybersecurity for some 70 percent of Fortune 100 companies, so the crash led to widespread failures that grounded planes, crippled businesses, disrupted 911 emergency systems and delayed banking transactions. Thieves online are using the confusion to carry out a variety of scams, including phishing attempts, the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said. The National Cyber Security Center in the United Kingdom issued a similar statement noting that an “increase in phishing referencing this outage has already been observed.”
