Kamala Harris has released a health summary from her White House physician, stating that she, “possesses the physical and mental resiliency required to successfully execute the duties of the presidency.”
In the summary, released on Saturday morning, the vice president’s physician, Joshua Simmons, wrote she is in “excellent health.”
Harris is releasing her medical information in a challenge to Donald Trump, whose health and age are coming under increased scrutiny.
Former Trump ally Chris Christie is the latest to sound the alarm over Trump’s competency to serve, saying that he has seen a “significant” mental decline in the former president.
On Friday, Trump espoused more anti-immigration rhetoric at his rallies in Reno, Nevada, and Aurora, Colorado, calling for the death penalty for migrants who kill American citizens and saying he would enact the Alien Enemies Act of 1798.
Mike Coffman, Aurora’s Republican mayor, hit out at the comments and insisted neither the city nor state has “not been ‘taken over’ or ‘invaded’ or ‘occupied’ by migrant gangs.”
Former president is expected to continue spreading that rhetoric at a rally in Coachella, California on Saturday afternoon.

Donald Trump wants to immediately invoke a more than 200-year-old wartime law that grants the president unilateral authority to deploy federal law enforcement for rounding up and deporting immigrants as soon as he enters office.
The former president, speaking from Aurora, Colorado on Friday, told supporters that he plans to revive the Alien Enemies Act of 1798, which would give the president unprecedented ability to target foreigners for removal, without a hearing or due process, based solely on their place of birth or citizenship.
His “Operation Aurora” — named after the Colorado city he has denigrated as a “war zone” from “migrant crime” — would also dispatch “elite squads of ICE, border patrol, and federal law enforcement officers to hunt down, arrest, and deport every last illegal alien gang member until there is not a single one left in this country,” he said.

1728727200Even Marjorie Taylor Greene’s GOP colleagues are outraged by her hurricane conspiracies
House Republicans are becoming more and more frustrated with their colleague Marjorie Taylor Greene and her bizarre, and debunked, claims that Democrats are “controlling the weather” following the recent devastation caused by hurricanes in the southeastern US.
The Maga firebrand from Georgia has doubled down on her conspiracy, leading even her fellow party members to speculate that she “needs [her] head examined.”
Greene claimed online last week that “they” can control the weather after Hurricane Helene killed more than two dozen people in her state and more than 230 in total. On Wednesday she doubled down, clarifying that she was referring to governmental organizations including NOAA.
Her remarks have been met with outrage, including from representatives whose districts have been directly affected by both Helene and now Milton. One described Greene’s remarks about the weather to Axios as “loony tunes”.
Carlos Gimenez, who represents a Hurricane-prone district in South Florida, replied to one of Greene’s posts writing, “NEW FLASH —> Humans cannot create or control hurricanes. Anyone who thinks they can, needs to have their head examined.”

“Everybody knows that’s false,” Trump said on the podcast.
Referring to the election, he continued: “But this is a thing [that’s] gonna end in 29 days, so they can say what they want,” Trump said. “I have a hard time doing it to them, because … I’m basically a truthful person, but —”
Schulz struggled to compose himself when Trump said this.
Finding the statement so amusing, the comedian leaned back in his chair and laughed out loud.
“What does that mean?” Schulz asked the former president, who tried to continue talking over the laughter.

1728709200Detroit mayor slams Trump after trashing his ‘mess’ of a city
Detroit Mayor Mike Duggan has slammed Donald Trump after he criticized his city in a speech to the Detroit Economic Club, saying Detroit would be badly impacted if Vice President Kamala Harris was elected in the two-hour address on Thursday.
“The whole country is going to be like, you want to know the truth? It’ll be like Detroit. Our whole country will end up being like Detroit if she’s your president. You’re going to have a mess on your hands,” he said. “We’re not going to let her do that to this country. We’re not gonna let it happen.”
Duggan responded to Trump on X.
“Detroit just hosted the largest NFL Draft in history, the Tigers are back in the playoffs, the Lions are headed to the Super Bowl, crime is down and our population is growing. Lots of cities should be like Detroit. And we did it all without Trump’s help,” Duggan wrote. “Numbers and Facts don’t lie. Detroit is the beacon of light. The beacon of progress. The beacon of resurgence.”
Duggan added on Instagram: “We’ve got record low homicide rates and we’re growing our population for the first time since the 1950s.”

1728705600Harris was asked to name three of Trump’s ‘virtues’. She couldn’t
Vice President Kamala Harris could not come up with three virtues about former president Donald Trump when she was asked to do so on Thursday evening at a Univision town hall event.
The Democratic presidential nominee laughed upon hearing the question, posed by an audience member, and immediately shared a negative trait about Trump that she does not like.
“Let me start with this, based on a life experience I know that a vast majority of us have much more in common than what separates us and part of what paints me is the approach that, frankly, Donald Trump and some others have taken – which is to suggest that it’s us vs. them, whoever that may be,” Harris said.
