I almost went to Kamala Harris' inauguration. " Almost," of course, is doing a lot of work in that sentence. The former vice president came up short against Donald Trump's Third Reich... I mean, third run at the Oval Office. Harris, who would have been the first woman to ascend to the country's top office, is admittedly many stone throws away from my politics. But in a land of constant dreams deferred, I was struck that, maybe this time, the top-of-the-top may be finally cracked by a Black woman.

Well, let me say this, because I'm not going to say this behind your back and not say it to your face, Smith shot back. I'm sitting right here in front of you. I emphatically disagree with what you just alluded to in terms of it might be gender-driven. Smith noted that Hillary Clinton won the popular vote in the 2016 presidential election and that Harris received around 75 million votes, a number that is actually higher than votes Trump received in 2016 and 2020.

The first: "Those 107 days are a part of American history," Harris said. "It was important to me to make sure my voice was represented." Sponsor The second: The process of running for U.S. president is "pretty opaque," Harris said. She wanted to "lift the hood on how this process works," in hopes of giving readers greater access to it and an opportunity to see where they could fit in.

The star's bombshell New York Times op-ed, titled I Love Joe Biden. But We Need a New Nominee, became a critical part of the left-wing pressure on former President Joe Biden, urging him to drop out of the presidential race. In the piece, Clooney described seeing Biden's mental decline up close, writing that the one battle he [Biden] cannot win is the fight against time. The former president dropped out of the race less than two weeks after the op-ed was published.

We are not going to win in November with this president, Clooney wrote at the time. On top of that, we won't win the House, and we're going to lose the Senate. This isn't only my opinion; this is the opinion of every senator and congress member and governor that I've spoken with in private. Every single one, irrespective of what he or she is saying publicly.

Are you f*cking kidding me? This guy wants to create a ballroom for his rich friends while completely turning a blind eye to the fact that babies are going to starve when the SNAP benefits end in just hours from now. Come on, Harris said. SNAP benefits are set to run out of funding on Saturday while Democrats and Republicans remain in a standstill over a continuing resolution to fund the government.

Kamala Harris isn't ruling out another run for the White House. In an interview with the BBC posted Saturday, Harris said she expects a woman will be president in the coming years, and it could possibly be her. I am not done, she said. The former vice-president said she hasn't decided whether to mount a 2028 presidential campaign. But she dismissed the suggestion that she'd face long odds.

I am not done, the former vice-president told the BBC. I have lived my entire career as a life of service and it's in my bones.

"I write in the book that I thought it was a big mistake to not invite Elon Musk when we did a big EV event," she told Fortune Editor-in-Chief Alyson Shontell.

So multiple sources of big money are a must, as are major allies. Not only do these allies go on the road as surrogates at times, but they recruit other supporters, some of whom provide the first essential, big money. For a candidate to alienate the most powerful individuals in their political party even before a race gets going seriously is an unheard-of no-no.

BILL MAHER: Kamala Harris's new memoir of the 24 election is called 107 Days, but it should have been called Everyone Sucks But Me. 107 Days is a victim's title because, get it, she only had 107 days to win. Yeah, and a billion and a half dollars and a built-in army of about 75 million people who'd vote for any human adjacent life form that wasn't Trump. But in 107 days nothing is ever Kamala's fault.

Jimmy Kimmel The Hollywood late night host, blasted by President Trump and suspended from ABC for his comments after the Charlie Kirk shooting, returns to TV, drawing record ratings and free speech accolades.

Harris, forced to confront Israel's war in Gaza on the first night of her book tour, expressed compassion for the Palestinians and condemned President Donald Trump for giving the Israeli government "a blank check." "What's happening to the Palestinian people is outrageous and it beaks my heart," she told a packed New York City performance center on Wednesday night after being interrupted by the first of four pro-Palestinian protesters. "Donald Trump has given (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu a blank check to do whatever he wants."

I've worked closely with the private sector over many years. And I always believed that if push came to shove, those titans of industry would be guardrails for our democracy, for the importance of sustaining democratic institutions. And one by one by one, they have been silent. They have been, you know, yes, I use the word feckless,

He is the Democrat in the race and deserves support. I support the Democrat in this race, absolutely.
