West Palm Beach, Florida CNN —Donald Trump began his political comeback when many in his own party wanted him to go away. A lineup of former allies, including Trump’s first vice president, Mike Pence; ex-political protege Florida Gov. Trump’s political team seized on their change in fortune, selling T-shirts with his mug shot and consolidating support throughout the country. Trump’s campaign had made substantial gains among every demographic his campaign set out to find new votes. “They came from all quarters: Union, nonunion, African American, Hispanic American, Asian American, Arab American, Muslim American,” Trump said in his victory remarks.

In an interview with popular podcaster Joe Rogan, Republican vice presidential nominee JD Vance suggested that he and Donald Trump can win the “normal gay guy vote” and that families with transgender children are looking for an edge in Ivy League college admissions. An early portion of the interview focused heavily on transgender people and transition-related medical care, which Vance described as “pharmaceutical conversion therapy” for gay people. “I mean that’s what to me is so crazy about some of the hyper-left-wing reaction,” Vance responded. “Well, I think I’m probably going to pick you, but I don’t know, and I’m not ready to make a decision,” Vance recalled Trump saying. “We’re sitting there watching, like, some stupid show, ‘Emily in Paris’ on Netflix or something,” Vance said, before catching himself.

“In North Carolina, that makes a lot of sense,” Harris said to Raiklin during the Q&A in front of dozens of GOP attendees. “In North Carolina, I mean, it’s legitimate. Currently, voting is going well in western North Carolina,” Harris said before pointing blame at Rep. Jamie Raskin, D-Md., for voicing doubts about whether he would vote to certify a Trump election victory if there are anomalies. What happens when Elon Musk, Joe Rogan, Donald Trump and Tucker Carlson all call on this? “It’s really important to understand the mainstream Republican goal — to make Donald Trump President whether or not he wins the election,” tweeted Sen. Chris Murphy, D-Conn.

CNN —A regular fixture in the style press, LA-born actor Chris Pine is a consistently top ranking name across best dressed lists. Stefania D'Alessandro/WireImage/Getty ImagesBut off the red carpet and away from the late night talk show sets, Pine’s sartorial compass doesn’t always point north. At Milan Fashion Week this summer, he was photographed making his way to a show barefoot. “Chris Pine looks like if Lisa Rinna got bitten by a werewolf,” added another in a Tweet liked more than 26,000 times. More than any expertly curated red carpet look, we see ourselves reflected back at us in Pine’s dressed-in-the-dark ensemble.

He's offering to fork out $150,000 for scientist Peter Hotez to debate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on the topic of vaccines. "This is a debate that you cannot walk away from," Ackman tweeted at Hotez. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman, who's spent a good chunk of the weekend putting his weight — and his money — behind the prospect of a Joe Rogan-hosted vaccine debate, wants you to know he's not an anti-vaxxer or an advocate for conspiracy theories. "If you are truly interested in saving lives, you need to further the public's understanding of the truth about vaccines," Ackman added. Every day we wait, thousands more will die," Ackman tweeted at the time.

☆ Kanye West’s biggest challenge with owning Parler may come from Elon Musk
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-18 | by ( Clare Duffy | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +7 min

After being banned from Twitter following the Jan. 6 insurrection, former President Donald Trump backed Truth Social, an alternative to Twitter. Perhaps the biggest wild card of all comes from West’s friend and fellow erratic rich guy, Elon Musk. The billionaire Tesla CEO appears closer than ever to taking over an already established platform, Twitter, with plans to cut back on its content restrictions. Conservative users uninterested in politics may also avoid the alternative platforms because of other objectionable content they host, according to experts who study the space. “Elon Musk could buy Twitter and say, ‘Trump, you’re back, Kanye, you’re back,’ and then Kanye is stuck owning a relatively defunct, somewhat irrelevant platform,” said Decker.

"I don't even know how to smoke a joint," the tech billionaire told the "Full Send" podcast Thursday.

I had like a whole year of random drug tests." "Unfortunately, it wasn't just me but the whole company, the whole of SpaceX had to have random drug tests," Musk continued.
