Actor and filmmaker Tyler Perry invoked a deep analogy on the stage of Vice President Kamala Harris' jam-packed stadium rally in Atlanta, Georgia, on Thursday, comparing Harris and former President Donald Trump's visions of America to a "quilt" versus a "sheet."

It's the latest in a long series of celebrity appearances at the star-studded rally, which also featured former President Barack Obama and rock star Bruce Springsteen playing "Land of Hope and Dreams."

Tech billionaire and vocal Trump supporter Elon Musk has talked regularly with Russian President Vladimir Putin for at least two years, according to a new report.

Several current and former officials for the U.S., Europe and Russia told The Wall Street Journal Musk has discussed personal topics, business and geopolitical issues, with Putin at one point asking Musk to avoid activating his Starlink satellites and providing internet service over Taiwan.

New York Times reporter Maggie Haberman on Thursday said there was “no question” that former President Donald Trump is “angrier” than he was eight years ago, and added that she was "struck" by the former president openly talking about revenge "as a closing message.”

The evaluation of Trump in the waning days of the campaign by Haberman, who has covered him extensively for years, came after CNN anchor Anderson Cooper asked the journalist how Trump is different compared to six months ago.

Nobel Prize-winning economist turned political analyst Paul Krugman issued a dire warning in a New York Times op-ed: the policies former President Donald Trump is running on would decimate the solvency of Social Security and perhaps even "bankrupt" the program altogether.

This comes as many other experts fire off similar alarm bells, with one study saying the federal retirement program's trust fund could be depleted in just six years if all of Trump's policies are adopted.

A New York Times columnist argued Thursday night that the 2024 election is "happening too soon" — and he was "expecting too much" from a "smug, self-satisfied, 'I am right' nation."

David Brooks lamented that he no longer believes this year's election would be a "moment of renewal," with Democrats defeating what he called MAGA populism and thrusting the nation down a better path.

A new Wall Street Journal poll showing Kamala Harris’ favorability numbers dropping from August – and dipping below Donald Trump’s – is one of many polls being thrown “out the window” by the vice president’s campaign, CNN contributor Bakari Sellers said Thursday.

“I’ve talked to people on the Kamala Harris campaign and one of the things that we've done is hopped off the poller-coaster a long time ago, we've kind of thrown these polls…out the window,” Sellers said on CNN’s “OutFront” with anchor Erin Burnett.

A pair of lawmakers called on the Justice Department to investigate former President Donald Trump's son-in-law under the Foreign Agents Registration Act, arguing that he may be illegally acting as an unregistered foreign agent on behalf of Saudi Arabia, Politico reported Thursday.

Kushner's financial ties to the country — which have grown extensively since the former president left office — have raised alarms from legal experts for years.

Fox News host and anchor Harris Faulkner quickly shut down a Democratic guest as soon as he brought up the name of Donald Trump’s former chief of staff, John Kelly, who this week declared the ex-president meets the “definition of a ‘fascist.'”

General Kelly is far from alone.

A senior adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign launched an unwavering defense of the latest in a string of sexual abuse allegations against the former president – this time brought by a former swimsuit model – saying her claim is “fake” and “silly” to discuss on CNN.

The moment came Thursday on CNN’s “The Situation Room” after Republican Bryan Lanza scoffed at the new claims that emerged in the waning days before the Nov. 5 election by rejecting them as “dangerous” and then chastising the network for discussing the topic on-air.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was asked during his campaign event in Michigan on Thursday about former President Donald Trump's chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, coming out and revealing details of his obsession with Adolf Hitler's generals and his attempt to back out of paying for a fallen Latina soldier's funeral.

Vance's response was to first attack Kelly — and then go after Vice President Kamala Harris, who denounced Trump's remarks in a press conference earlier this week.

A new report describes how former President Donald Trump routinely denied federal disaster aid money to states whose governors either criticized him or declared President Joe Biden the winner of the 2020 election. And he didn't discriminate between Democratic and Republican critics.

Politico's E&E News reported Thursday that when natural disasters hit states led by governors Trump disliked, he either withheld, delayed or outright denied aid for political reasons. In 2020, when Washington state was affected by wildfires, Democratic Governor Jay Inslee requested $37 million in aid for the affected areas. But even though the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) found that the Evergreen State's wildfires met the threshold for a federal disaster, Trump sat on the request for the final four months of presidency, only approving it just prior to leaving office.

Vice President Kamala Harris' decision to distance herself from the FTC's populist chair could cost her with progressives, an economics professor warned Thursday.

Politico noted that Harris has kept Federal Trade Commission Chair Lina Khan at "arm's length" as Khan pushes an antitrust agenda, much to the chagrin of major Silicon Valley donors.

The Utah GOP was dealt a blow Thursday as the state Supreme Court shut down their backdoor attempt to repeal citizen-led reforms against partisan gerrymandering in the state.

The case concerned whether the Republican-controlled legislature could move ahead with giving voters a referendum on "Amendment D," which was effectively an attempt to retroactively make legal a bill they passed to shut down redistricting reform.
