The comments were based on a conspiracy theory that originated online and spread throughout far-right circles, including on Loomer’s own social media account.

Washington CNN —The Harris campaign is launching a new abortion-focused ad Thursday, capitalizing on what officials believe was one of the most pivotal exchanges between Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump during Tuesday’s presidential debate. Harris’ team prepared the vice president to confront Trump on nationwide abortion restrictions. The newly released ad includes both candidates’ responses on abortion on the debate stage. Harris, in response, ran through personal stories of women struggling to get health care while navigating abortion restrictions. Harris campaign officials spent Wednesday poring over footage of the debate to identify key moments to put into new campaign TV and digital ads, according to the campaign, seeking to amplify what they perceive to be the strongest debate exchange.

She said she was seated in first class on an airplane next to Trump in the 1970s when he suddenly began groping her. Leeds said she fought off Trump and moved to the back of the airplane. Earlier this year a separate jury found Trump defamed Carroll when in 2022 he repeated several of the statements he initially made in 2019. Her attorneys argued to the jury that the only way to stop Trump from repeating the statements was to hit him in his pocketbook.

It's a jaw-dropping figure — more than twice her previous $60 million deal with Spotify back in 2021 and higher even than the reported $100 million snagged earlier this year by SmartLess. But the "Call Her Daddy" host can't exactly sit back and cash a check for $41 million each year. She can earn as much as the widely reported $125 million — but it won't be easy. A podcast deal with a host like Cooper would be based on a certain number of downloads a month. Related storiesCooper's SiriusXM deal is also not just for "Call Her Daddy," but for her Unwell Network's "complete slate of current and future shows."

Harris hasn’t yet released many details about her strategy to wipe out medical debt, but policy experts say a newly implemented medical debt relief program from North Carolina could offer a roadmap. Roy Cooper announced that nearly 100 hospitals in the state had signed on to participate in the Medical Debt Relief Incentive Program, which he said will incentivize hospitals to eliminate $4 billion in medical debt for 2 million low- and middle-income patients over the next two years. At a campaign event last week in Raleigh, North Carolina, Harris thanked Cooper for canceling medical debt in his state, and Cooper introduced Harris at the convention Thursday. Hospitals will get additional federal funds if they forgive existing debt and move to prevent future medical debt. “I see medical debt as the most salient example of a health care system which isn’t working,” he said.

English singer Lily Allen said she adopted a puppy during the Covid-19 pandemic, but returned it after it ate her family's passports. Jones cautioned that getting a dog with her husband, "Stranger Things" star David Harbour, is "a hell of a commitment." Allen said the pup ate her passport as well as those of her two daughters, Ethel, 12, and Marnie, 11, who she shares with her ex-husband Sam Cooper. Allen said "passports weren’t the only thing she ate." Allen and Harbour first sparked romance rumors in 2019 and they married in a Las Vegas wedding in September 2020, according to People Magazine.

Read previewIt took 16 years to make "The Crow" reboot, but now it's finally out, critics say the Bill Skarsgård-fronted comic book movie is "repulsive" and "unfathomably awful." "The Crow" was finally released on Thursday, and the reviews are terrible. The Guardian's Benjamin Lee described the reboot as "unfathomably awful," and criticized Skarsgård and Twigs' performance. However, that isn't always the case — especially for comic book movies. AdvertisementUnfortunately, "The Crow" appears to fall into that category rather than reaching the heights of the beloved 1994 movie.
