She remained out of the public eye for most of her father’s time in the White House, resurfacing only to campaign ahead of his failed 2020 reelection bid.Meyers also hit Joe Biden with a Halloween-themed zinger, joking the president “got a pretty serious scare” when a trick-or-treater “came dressed up…

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel noticed that “not-so-great pumpkin” Donald Trump was up in the wee hours of Halloween morning, but he wasn’t getting the candy ready for trick-or-treaters.Instead, the former president was firing off multiple all-caps rants on his Truth Social website raging against President Joe Biden and complaining about the multiple legal cases he’s facing. Trump posted two messages after 1 a.m., then reposted one of them after 4 a.m., adding “ELECTION INTERFERENCE!!!” in all capital letters. That left Kimmel baffled.“He woke up, and went, ‘Oh, I forgot to say ‘election interference’ in all caps,’” Kimmel sad. “And what…
“You know your campaign is going terribly wrong when people only wanna talk about your shoes,” Charlamagne said after showing a viral video of DeSantis awkwardly denying that he had lifts in his boots to appear taller.

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) made the bold claim on Tuesday that the world would be safer and more peaceful if Donald Trump were still president. “I believe if Trump were president, none of this would be going on,” he said Tuesday night on CNN. “If he were president of the United States, Hamas would not have attacked Israel, I really believe that, Putin wouldn’t have invaded Ukraine because they’re afraid of the guy.” Graham’s claim flies in the face of comments from Trump himself, who recently bragged of making U.S. loyalty to allies in times of military crisis contingent upon…
Republicans love to falsely claim there’s a war on Christmas, but it looks like the GOP is waging war on Halloween.Or at least the way Joe Biden celebrates it.The president and first lady invited a group of children to go trick-or-treating at the White House on Monday night — and @RNCResearch, a social media page that targets various Democratic politicians, felt obliged to post clips of the Bidens handing out candy to kids.The people behind the GOP account, in their infinite wisdom, somehow thought the clips would make the president look bad.Instead, he looked human.The first clip went after Jill…

ABUJA, Nigeria (AP) — Law enforcement authorities in Nigeria are using the country’s same-sex prohibition law to target the LGBTQ+ community while ignoring abuses against them, rights groups and lawyers say, in the wake of fresh mass arrests of gay people.Nigeria is one of more than 30 of Africa’s 54 countries where homosexuality is criminalized in laws that are broadly supported by the public, even though the constitution guarantees freedom from discrimination, and the right to private and family life.Mass arrests and detention of queer Nigerians that continued this week were done without proper investigations and could further expose them…
