Harris announces 15-city tour for memoir on presidential run
Former Vice President Kamala Harris announced on Thursday she will embark on book tour across 15 cities, including in the United Kingdom and Canada, for her memoir entitled '107 Days.' The book on her presidential run is set to go on sale Sept. 23 and Harris will start her tour on Sept. 24 in New York City. The next day, she will travel to Philadelphia, followed by Los Angeles. In October, the former VP will travel to Houston, San Francisco, Atlanta, Washington, D.C., Chicago, Durham, N.C., Birmingham, Ala., and London for her first international stop. She will then make stops in Portland, Ore., Toronto for her second international stop, Nashville, and end the tour in Miami on Nov. 20. In Washington, her book conversation on Oct. 9 will take place at the Warner Theatre and in her home city of San Francisco, her book conversation will be on Oct. 5 at The Masonic Auditorium. Harris and Simon & Schuster announced in July that she would release '107 Days' to offer insights into her campaign against President Trump. Harris launched her presidential campaign in late July 2024, days after then- President Biden announced he would no longer seek a second term amid intense pressure from Democrats on him to drop out. Harris rejuvenated the Democratic base and donors, but she ultimately lost to Trump by a decisive margin in November. The former vice president announced in July that she will not run for governor of California in 2026, putting an end to speculation that she would seek her state's top executive role.

Jack White Responds to Trump Official Calling Him a 'Washed-Up, Has-Been Loser'
Jack White, February 2025 (John Nacion/Variety via Getty Images) Jack White is a longtime critic of President Donald J. Trump and his administration, and the musician has even taken legal action against the politician and his campaign. The latest chapter in the saga of White vs. White House came earlier this week when the White Stripes rocker insulted Trump's redecoration of the Oval Office, saying that it now looks like 'a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room.' The barb elicited a response from Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, who told The Daily Beast that White is 'a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career.' Cheung further defended his boss' aesthetic choices, telling the outlet: 'It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'' The war of words continued yesterday (August 20), with White sharing a lengthy statement against Trump and his administration on Instagram. White criticized Trump's 'blatant fascist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his racist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc. his ridiculous 'wall' construction, his attacks on the disabled, his attempted coup and mob insurrection and destruction of the sacred halls of congress,' and plenty more. He went on to use Cheung's words against Trump, writing that the president 'is masquerading as a human being,' and 'masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy.' Several artists—including Margo Price and Michigander's Jason Singer—have supported White in the comments on his post. 'You hit a fuckin' nerve 'cuz they don't put out statements this length for earthquakes and shootings,' Patton Oswalt wrote. 'Keep going.' Cat Power's Chan Marshall added, 'LOVE YOU JACK❤️🔥.'

Fox News ‘Antisemitism Exposed' Newsletter: Trump goes all in on crushing Hamas
Fox News' "Antisemitism Exposed" newsletter brings you stories on the rising anti-Jewish prejudice across the U.S. and the world. IN TODAY'S NEWSLETTER: - Trump says Hamas must be 'destroyed' in order to bring hostages home- Trump administration to vet legal immigrant applicants for 'anti-Americanism' and antisemitism- Gal Gadot knows exactly why "Snow White" was a box-office bomb TOP STORY: President Donald Trump said the remaining Israeli hostages will only be returned once Hamas is "confronted and destroyed," as the Gaza-based terrorist group cited alleged progress in ongoing ceasefire talks. The U.S. and Israel pulled their negotiators from Qatar last month, saying Hamas demonstrated a "lack of desire to reach a ceasefire in Gaza" and were likely not negotiating in good faith. Said Trump: "We will only see the return of the remaining hostages when Hamas is confronted and destroyed!!!" VIDEO: Thousands of anti-Israel demonstrators flooded midtown Manhattan last week afternoon, calling for a "global intifada," a slogan many view as an incitement to violence against Jewish communities. The Stand with Gaza protesters, carrying signs seeking to "end all aid to Israel," clanged cowbells while chanting "free, free Palestine" and "Palestine will live forever." WATCH HERE: WHO IS COMING TO AMERICA?: Federal officials are now being instructed to vet immigrants looking to legally live and work in the U.S. for "anti-American," terrorist, or antisemitic views under new guidance. The updated policy, part of President Donald Trump's broader immigration clampdown, gives U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) officers broad discretion to treat such views as "overwhelmingly negative factors" when deciding whether to approve green cards, visas or citizenship. SMART GAL: Actress Gal Gadot knows why the live-action Snow White remake floundered at the box office. It had everything to do with Ostober 7, according to the actress, Read what she told Israel's Channel Keshet 12 program "The A Talks." DEM DECORUM: The moderate House Democrat who defeated "Squad" member Cori Bush had a town hall marred by pro-Palestinian activists Tuesday. Rep. Wesley Bell, D-Mo., repeatedly pleaded with protesters to allow him to speak while defending his position on Israel and Hamas. "Stop talking. This is not your town hall. You can leave," said Bell, who was booed when he said Oct. 7 was an "invasion." of Israel. GUEST EDITORIAL: Scott Feltman, executive vice president of the One Israel Fund, writes in praise of Leo Terrell, the Trump administration's senior counsel to the assistant attorney general for civil rights. Terrell, writes Feltman, "rallies everyday Americans to reject the lies and to stand proudly with Israel and the Jewish people." QUOTE OF THE WEEK: "America's benefits should not be given to those who despise the country and promote anti-American ideologies." - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services spokesperson Matthew Tragesser on new vetting rules for prospective legal immigrants. - Looking for more on this topic?
