The polls are coming thick and fast with less than six weeks to go before Election Day. Vice President Harris has seen broadly favorable polling results this week — with some caveats. |

The bipartisan committee charged with supporting democracy and human rights in post-Soviet states is pushing for the United States to dump the post-Cold War status quo in its relations with Russia and label Moscow as a "persistent" threat to global security.
The report from the Helsinki Commission, released Wednesday, argues that Washington must reframe its thinking in how it approaches Russia, as it has with China over the past few years, and allocate resources accordingly. |

Legislation that would reform some aspects of Social Security is gaining steam in Congress.
The measure, dubbed the Social Security Fairness Act, seeks to do away with tax rules that proponents say have led to unfair reductions in benefits for those who have worked in public service for much of their careers. |

Israel on Friday sought to deal a decisive blow to Hezbollah by targeting the Iranian-backed group's long-time leader Hassan Nasrallah, underscoring its willingness to escalate warfare in the region to achieve its aims. It is unclear whether Nasrallah was killed in the Friday strike on Hezbollah's central headquarters in Beirut, which toppled several buildings and left plumes of orange and black smoke billowing above the skyline. |

Vice President Harris pledged to sign a new version of the failed bipartisan Senate border deal at a campaign event in Douglas, Ariz., on Friday, touting a law enforcement vision of border management and panning former President Trump for politicizing the issue. In her first visit to the U.S.-Mexico border in three years, Harris told supporters at Cochise College Douglas Campus that she would further strengthen the asylum restrictions that have played a part in reducing border crossings since May. |

Former President Trump visited the key battleground of Michigan on Friday for a town hall conversation in which he attacked Vice President Harris over policies he says have hurt the state's auto industry. Trump sat for a conversation moderated by Tennessee GOP Sen. Marsha Blackburn and took questions from the audience, but the night felt more reflective of the Republican nominee's signature rallies filled with his most diehard supporters. |

The North Carolina Court of Appeals on Friday overturned a lower court's decision to accept the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's mobile One Card as valid voter identification. The ruling supported the plaintiff's argument that the digital ID would make it easier for ineligible voters to cast ballots and violate a state law that prohibits mobile use during voting. |

Vice President Harris leads former President Trump by two points as the two battle for a narrow win in Pennsylvania, a Friday Fox News poll shows. Harris edged out Trump, 50 percent to his 48 percent of support among registered voters, while the race is tied among likely voters. |

"Veep" actor Julia Louis-Dreyfus said her character on the hit HBO show was "not a Kamala Harris type" during a Friday MSNBC appearance and instead compared the fictional vice president to former President Trump. "I play a very, shall we say, almost narcissistic, sociopathic, mega, maniacal type of person. I am not a Kamala Harris type," Louis-Dreyfus told anchor Ari Melber about her role as Selina Mayer. "I am possibly much more like someone from the other party whose name I shall not even utter." |

OPINION | The Trump campaign, and its allies through Project 2025, have proposed more than 200 proposals to choke off immigration in a second Trump term. In contrast, Vice President Harris's campaign has offered few substantive ideas, although the Democratic platform lays out more details. Immigration and the border crisis remain a top concern for Americans. If Harris is elected, her top priority must be reducing border chaos, which is eroding public support for immigration, endangering migrants and clogging up our bloated legal immigration bureaucracy. |
OPINION | The Hill recently published an essay by Chancellor Andrew Martin of Washington University in St. Louis, where I am a faculty member. I agree with Martin's thesis while interpreting it entirely differently. After last academic year's season of protest against the genocide in Gaza, "this year must be different." We disagree on how it must be different, because the chancellor feels that student protests should be even more tightly restrained than last year's violently subdued protests. Oddly, this sentiment rebuts Martin's own reputation as a free speech absolutist, with which he arrived at Wash U. |

With the 213th federal judge of the Biden era confirmed by the Senate this week, Democrats are now hoping to take advantage of a post-election lame duck session to finish putting their own stamp on the judiciary and match the number of judges appointed during the Trump administration. |

Years before Eric Adams was elected mayor of New York, he regularly flew around the globe for next to nothing, stayed in luxury hotels and received laundered campaign contributions—all of it secretly supplied by Turkey's government and Turkish businesses, according to federal prosecutors.
In 2021, Adams returned the favor. |
Already the longest-lived of the 45 men to serve as U.S. president, Jimmy Carter is about to reach the century mark.
The 39th president, who remains under home hospice care, will turn 100 on Tuesday, Oct. 1, celebrating in the same south Georgia town where he was born in 1924.
Here are some notable markers for Carter, the nation and the world over his long life. |

Every year on Aug. 20, meteorologists at Colorado State University ring a bell to signal the start of peak hurricane season — a weeks-long stretch when hot ocean temperatures tend to generate frequent and destructive storms. But this year, the tradition gave way to an eerie, echoing quiet, with storm activity in the Atlantic at its lowest level in 30 years despite projections of a historic season. |
