Kamala Harris has taken a trip into the land of the absurd during her recent chat with the notoriously edgy Howard Stern. When it appeared she might regain some composure; she spiraled into a critique of the very weaknesses that define her.

Meanwhile, Mike Lee has put forth crucial recommendations aimed at ensuring rank-and-file conservative senators can get their amendments heard.

President Biden's schedule today is predictably eventful, filled with meetings about Hurricanes Milton and Helene, a call with rabbis for the Jewish High Holidays, and a meet-up with the Taoiseach of Ireland. Meanwhile, as Harris prepares to jet off to Las Vegas, Democrats seem to be spreading their campaign fires across the country, attempting to spark interest in a party that is increasingly out of touch.
