Trump’s 30-minute town hall dance-break cuts his Q&A short
During former President Donald Trump’s town hall in Oaks, Pennsylvania, an attendee fainted during the Q&A portion of the event. As the man was being treated, Trump requested “Ave Maria,” one of his favorite songs, to be played. Soon after, the man was taken out of the venue, and the Q&A continued. Then, another attendee fainted.
“Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Who the hell wants to hear questions, right,” Trump said, according to CBS News.
Trump continued to play more songs off of his favorites list, which includes “An American Trilogy” by Elvis Presley, “Nothing Compares 2 U” from Sinéad O’Connor, the Village People’s iconic “YMCA” and “Memory” from the Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Cats, according to Newsweek.
Two more systems in the Atlantic projected to make landfall
Two systems in the Atlantic Basin are being tracked by the National Hurricane Center, one likely to develop into a tropical depression or storm in the following week.
The system has a 60% chance of formation in the following days and is projected to become a tropical storm by Thursday afternoon at the earliest, according to USA Today. This would be the fourth major system to impact Florida this year.
The hurricane center is also keeping track of a second system in the Caribbean Sea that may result in heavy rainfall across Central America later in the week. However, this second system is not projected to impact the U.S.
Kamala Harris agrees to an interview with Fox News
VP Kamala Harris has agreed to her first formal interview with Fox News, which is set to air on Wednesday at 6 p.m. EST.
In the past few months, Fox News has welcomed several Harris supporters on air, including Gov. Tim Walz of Minnesota, Gov. Gavin Newsom of California, Gov. Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg.
Harris’s willingness to appear on Fox News may be to her advantage in reaching the independent voters, according to The New York Times.
In recent weeks, Harris has made an appearance on less traditional platforms, such as “The Shade Room” and “The Breakfast Club” to further reach Black voters, as well as classic interviews, such as “60 Minutes” and “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.”
A hundred Lewiston survivors and relatives suing the US Army
Almost a year after the deadliest shooting in Maine history, lawyers of the survivors and relatives of those who died have begun the process of suing the U.S. Army.
The lawyers wrote in the filings, “It is difficult to conceive of a case in which Army personnel could have more warning signs and opportunities to intervene to prevent a service member from committing a mass shooting than what happened in the case of Army Reservist Robert Card,” according to AP News.
In September 2023, Card threatened an attack of “mass shooting.” When Card opened fire at a bowling alley and a corn hole league on Oct. 25 of 2023, 18 people were killed, and 13 were injured.
The lawsuit claims the Department of Defense, U.S. Army and Army Keller Hospital “broke its promises, failed to act reasonably, violated its own polices and procedures and disregarded directives and orders,” according to AP News. However, the lawyers, relatives and friends are only focusing on the Army.
