☆ Kamala Harris stars in her second Vogue cover — and the two couldn’t be more different

At least that seems to be the message — both symbolically and stylistically — embedded in Kamala Harris’ second ever Vogue cover. It's the vice president's second cover for the title. Annie Leibovitz/VogueThe image, by fashion photographer Annie Leibovitz, is a far cry from Harris’ first Vogue cover back in November 2021. Annie Leibovitz/VogueThis time around, though, neither Vogue nor Harris’ team seemed concerned with signposting her authenticity and approachability (Harris’ viral meme-ridden campaign seems to have handled that). But for most Harris’ fans, the second Vogue cover is something of a full circle moment — righting the perceived “wrongs” of the first.

☆ Trump argues special counsel's evidence in federal election case shouldn't be released before Election Day

Attorneys for Donald Trump on Thursday argued against the release of additional evidence in the former president's federal election interference case in the lead up to Election Day. A spokesperson for the special counsel’s office declined to comment on the filing. Prosecutors from Smith's office had previously rebuffed assertions from Trump's attorneys that the government was "motivated by improper political considerations." The federal election case was upended after the Supreme Court’s immunity ruling which found that Trump has some protection from prosecution related to official acts. A judge overseeing that case last month granted the former president's request to further postpone his sentencing hearing until after Election Day.
