Gov. Tim Walz' alarming comments about the essence of casserole, made under the anonymous username DarthTater, threaten to upend the upcoming presidential election, according to a completely made-up spoof poking fun at Mark Robinson.

Washington Post satirist Alexandra Petri on Friday took a none-too-subtle jab at the North Carolina gubernatorial candidate caught in a scandal over porn site commentary that an explosive CNN report linked to the MAGA Republican.

It has been a little over a week since former President Donald Trump faced off against Vice President Kamala Harris in their first, and possibly only debate. During a Georgia rally, Harris-supporter were still laughing at Trump's widely-panned performance.

Harris brought up the mother and sisters of Amber Thurman, who died after Georgia's strict restrictions on abortion took effect, which was ushered in after the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade. The official Georgia committee ruled that Thurman's death was preventable.

A heckler who interrupted Vice President Kamala Harris' campaign speech in Georgia Friday evoked a strong response from the Democratic presidential nominee — not a rebuke, but a joyful laugh.

Harris' laughter arrived amid an address to Atlanta voters to whom she delivered a dire warning about the reproductive rights she warned were at stake this election season as she faces off against former President Donald Trump.

Lt. Gov. Mark Robinson was always going to wreck things for the North Carolina Republican Party, former GOP Gov. Pat McCrory told CNN's Boris Sanchez on Friday.

Robinson, who was already controversial for a series of past statements questioning the Holocaust, attacking school shooting survivors, and several other issues, was exposed by CNN's KFILE as having called himself a "Black Nazi," fantasizing about owning slaves, and boasting about an affair with his wife's sister on a pornographic message board years before he entered politics. Robinson denies all of this and says he was framed by AI.

Donald Trump went on a mini-posting spree on Truth Social Friday afternoon, including a false claim that he worked to help limit flavored vaping to stop kids from using it.

"I saved Flavored Vaping in 2019," Trump said, "and it greatly helped people get off smoking. I raised the age to 21, keeping it away from the 'kids.'"

Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, the Democratic candidate for vice president, is out with a new video that simultaneously offers advice for how to work on old cars — and warns about the dangers posed by Project 2025.

"All right," said Walz, standing over the engine of the exposed bay of the vehicle. "This thing, old school carburetor. You can always tell something about somebody's maintenance when how clean their air filter is. Look, to be able to work on this thing, you've got a manual. It shows you exactly what to do to fix things on this."

Daniel Driscoll, the Republican chief prosecutor for Clark County, which includes Springfield, Ohio, is calling out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) for lying about crime statistics to create a story that the city is being overrun with violence.

Driscoll spoke to CNN's fact-checker Daniel Dale after Vance falsely claimed that "murders are up by 81 percent because of what Kamala Harris has allowed happening to this small community."

A MAGA-controlled board's new mandate that Georgia ballots be hand-counted stunned journalists, lawmakers, legal experts and Americans who fear "chaos" and a "legal coup" just 46 days before the presidential election.

The Georgia State Election Board voted 3-2 to require that county election boards hand count ballots and compare their results to electronic voting machine tallies — a move critics argued Friday was designed to deliver the state to former President Donald Trump on Nov. 5.

Dawn Roberts, who served as co-chair of former United Nations Ambassador Nikki Haley's 2024 presidential campaign, has not followed her one-time candidate's decision to endorse former President Donald Trump.

Writing in the Des Moines Register, Roberts reveals that she will be supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the 2024 general election.

The federal judge overseeing Donald Trump's election interference case just threw the former president's lawyers some subtle shade after they submitted, past deadline, an aggressive filing echoing their rejected demands, according to legal analyses of recent court records.

Washington D.C. Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled Friday to grant an unopposed motion to extend the deadline for a procedural filing — which the New York Times reported might have infuriated her by repeating old pleas — submitted after her Thursday evening deadline had passed.

Political stalwart and longtime columnist Greg Sargent on Friday got into a spat with Real Clear Politics co-founder Tom Bevan over the 2024 election polls.

In a chart Bevans uploaded to the social media site X, he provided a column showing how far off the polling numbers were in 2020 and 2016. The implication is that the polls recently, showing Vice President Kamala Harris leading, are just as far off as they were in 2020 and 2016.
