One week before the 2024 U.S. presidential election, a statue has popped up in downtown D.C. that takes a swing at former President Donald Trump and his comments made after the 2017 "Unite The Right" rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The roughly 8-foot-tall statue shows a bronze hand clasping a bronze lit tiki torch. It appears weathered, to suggest it's been at the southeastern corner of D.C.'s Freedom Plaza for years. The plaque on a plaster base made to look like a pillar titles it, "The Donald J. Trump Enduring Flame" and refers to comments Trump made in the aftermath of riots and protests that happened in August 2017. read more

Josseli Barnica grieved the news as she lay in a Houston hospital bed on Sept. 3, 2021: The sibling she'd dreamt of giving her daughter would not survive this pregnancy. The fetus was on the verge of coming out, its head pressed against her dilated cervix; she was 17 weeks pregnant and a miscarriage was "in progress," doctors noted in hospital records. At that point, they should have offered to speed up the delivery or empty her uterus to stave off a deadly infection, more than a dozen medical experts told ProPublica. For 40 hours, the anguished 28-year-old mother prayed for doctors to help her get home to her daughter; all the while, her uterus remained exposed to bacteria. Three days after she delivered, Barnica died of an infection. read more
Vice President Kamala Harris' address at the Ellipse Tuesday night in Washington, D.C."the site of Donald Trump's "Stop the Steal" speech on Jan. 6, 2021"had tens of thousands more attendees. While the Metropolitan Police Department originally expected 20,000 to be present, that number quickly ballooned to more than 52,000, causing overflow on the Washington Mall. Ultimately, more than 75,000 attended, a Harris campaign official told the Daily Beast. The VP's team has long ribbed Trump over his fixation on the size of the crowds he attracts. The former president, who has falsely accused some of Harris' supporters of being generated by artificial intelligence, drew around 53,000 supporters on Jan. 6, when he refused to concede the election he lost. And while Harris was delivering her address in the capital, Trump was in Pennsylvania insisting that she "can't get anybody" to show up to her campaign events.
Former US first lady Melania Trump pushed back on Tuesday against attacks on her husband Donald Trump, saying the Republican presidential candidate is "not Hitler." In an interview with "Fox & Friends," Melania Trump also said her support for abortion rights was "not a big surprise" for the former US president, whose Supreme Court picks paved the way for the end of the national right to abortion. She said comparisons of her husband to Hitler were "terrible." "He's not Hitler, and all of his supporters, they're standing behind him because they want to see (the) country successful, and we see what kind of support he has," she said. Trump's former White House chief of staff, John Kelly, has quoted his former boss as saying that "Hitler did some good things too" and he "wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had."
