Just hours after President Biden dropped out of the race, a spoof of the Charli XCX's album cover, "brat," graced the banner on the Harris campaign's X account.
The next day, Charli XCX declared that the vice president is "brat," validating the hard tone shift in the Democratic ticket's digital strategy. |

Signs are emerging in recent polling that independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and other third-party candidates could pose trouble for Donald Trump now that President Biden isn't at the top of the ticket.
For months, polling predicting a three-way race with Trump, Biden and Kennedy showed mixed signs in terms of which of the major-party candidates was hurt more by the independent's presence. But often the Democratic candidate was the one losing more support. |

Ukrainian forces pushed into Russia this week to attack a border region in a stunning counteroffensive that comes after Kyiv has been largely on the defensive for the past year and a half. The Ukrainian attack, the first from a foreign nation on Russia's European soil since World War II, has set off an emergency in the Kursk region bordering Ukraine's northeastern Sumy province. |

Democratic Sen. Jon Tester (Mont.) is keeping his distance from the newly formed Harris-Walz ticket as the vulnerable incumbent stares down a tight race for reelection that could determine control of the upper chamber. Tester praised Vice President Harris when she became President Biden's running mate back in 2020, but he has kept her 2024 presidential bid at arm's length. Last week, he reportedly abstained when Montana's Democratic delegates joined a virtual roll call to vote for Harris to become the party's official nominee. |

Veterans in Congress are taking sides in the battle over the military record of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who was recently accused of "stolen valor" by his rival vice presidential nominee, Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio). "When are @JDVance and [former President] Trump going to stop denigrating the men and women who honorably serve our country?" Rep. Seth Moulton (D-Mass.), a Marine Corps veteran, said Thursday in a thread on the social platform X. "JD knows personally that signing up to serve does not always mean you see combat — 90% of servicemembers don't." |

A federal appeals court on Friday blocked President Biden's new student debt relief plan, teeing up a potential expansion of the legal fight already brewing at the Supreme Court. The 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling extends the brief pause it ordered last month. The court's updated decision prevents the administration from moving ahead with its Saving on a Valuable Education (SAVE) plan until the court resolves the lawsuit, which could take months. |

Former Vice President Mike Pence said Friday he does not intend to endorse or wade into the presidential race this November, expressing concerns about the direction of the Republican Party while criticizing the Democratic agenda. "For my part, I'm staying out of the presidential campaign," Pence said at "The Gathering," an event organized by conservative radio host Erick Erickson. |

Former White House communications director Alyssa Farah Griffin on Friday disparaged President Trump's lengthy press conference Thursday, arguing the GOP presidential nominee was hurting himself. "This was an absolute dumpster fire of a press conference, just to be clear," Farah Griffin said on "CNN News Central" to the outlet's Kate Bolduan. |

President Biden said in an interview set to air Sunday that "the most important thing" is to "defeat [former President] Trump" after he dropped out of the presidential race. "When I ran the first time, I thought of myself as being a transition president," Biden said in a clip of the "CBS News Sunday Morning" interview with the outlet's Robert Costa. "I can't even say how old I am, it's hard for me to get it out of my mouth." |

OPINION | One year ago, my father wrote an op-ed in this publication describing for the first time the arrest of my brother, Mahmood Habibi, by the Taliban in Kabul. He had been arrested the year prior by the Taliban's intelligence service, the GDI, along with 30 other people from the same company. We initially kept it quiet and worked with the State Department in the hope that the Taliban would realize that my brother's arrest was a mistake. But here we are, and another year has passed and my brother is still not home. |

OPINION | The regulatory controls and deposit insurance system put in place in the wake of the Great Depression created a sound financial system almost century ago. But these reforms have been made obsolete by changes in markets, a revolution in technology and rampant inflation due to failed fiscal and monetary policies. |

The Aug. 2 dinner at the Bridgehampton, N.Y., home of Howard Lutnick, the Cantor Fitzgerald chief executive, was a high-powered affair. Among the roughly 130 people who dined under an air-conditioned tent were some of Donald Trump's wealthiest supporters, including the billionaire hedge-fund financier Bill Ackman, who sat next to the former president, and Omeed Malik, the president of another fund, 1789 Capital. Some guests hoped Mr. Trump would signal that he was recalibrating after a series of damaging mistakes. He did not. |

Just a few days ago, Diana Hillel was convinced she'd be stuck inside her Tel Aviv home for the better part of a month making sure her two children were safe from any attack by Israel's regional enemies. But on Friday, the 34-year-old makeup artist got tired of worrying. More than a week after Iran threatened retaliatory strikes against Israel, nothing had happened. She grabbed some girlfriends and headed to a bar by the beach, where they laughed about a week spent needlessly paralyzed by fear. |
"Mass Deportation Now!" declared the signs at the Republican National Convention, giving a full embrace to Donald Trump's pledge to expel millions of migrants in the largest deportation program in American history. Some Republicans aren't quite ready for that. |
Ukraine's surprise invasion of Russia seemed to stretch to a second border region, with Kyiv's forces claiming to have reached a village inside of Belgorod as the Kremlin announced a "counterterrorism operation" in the area — a sign of Moscow's growing insecurity five days after Ukrainian troops launched the cross-border offensive.
Ukrainian forces have continued to push deeper into Russia, further signaling this operation wasn't a short raid but rather a potential occupation. The move that has turned the tables of this war on Moscow, which invaded Ukraine more than two years ago. |
