Trump-Obsessed Aide Natalie Harp Seen In President's Limo, Indycar RaceDespite the flurry of recent reports and photos showing Natalie Harp’s bizarre, obsessive behavior toward the president, the Trump aide was seen riding in his limo Saturday and attending Sunday’s Indycar race with him in Washington.Photos and White House pool reports reveal President Donald Trump entering his SUV on the passenger side with Harp entering on the driver’s side while leaving the president’s golf course.Videos of Sunday’s Indycar race in the capital show Harp arriving with Trump and his family, at one point chatting with Eric Trump. First lady Melania Trump also attended the event, just days after making her first public appearance in a month.Sources previously told Semafor that part of the reason the White House has launched an aggressive defense against reports of Harp’s closeness and apparent devotion to the president is because “the first lady doesn’t like these types of things.”U.S. Consumers Could Soon Pay More For These Items. Thanks, Trump.A whopping 50% tariff took effect on a range of Canadian goods on Saturday after trade talks between the U.S. and its northern neighbor collapsed late last week. Those levies could make certain products more expensive for Americans since companies often pass the tariff cost on to consumers. The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment about how the tariffs could drive up prices. Below is a sampling of some of the goods that could soon become more costly. The full lists are available via the Federal Register.Alcohol: Whiskies, along with certain brandies, wines and vodkas, are among the alcoholic items targeted by the tariffs, a move that comes after the Trump administration complained about Canada “discriminating” against U.S. products. Multiple Canadian provinces removed U.S. alcohol products from stores in response to the tariffs that Trump levied against Canada in 2025.Dairy: Similarly, dairy items like milk and cream are being targeted after Trump previously took issue with Canada’s trade policies related to its dairy sector.Wood and paper goods: Various wood and paper products are on the list, including several types of plywood, wooden frames and certain wallpapers. Clothing: A wide range of clothes are affected, such as jackets, blazers, sweaters, dresses and T-shirts of varying materials. Hockey equipment: Hockey and field hockey equipment, with the exception of balls and skates, are included in the tariffs. Furniture: Different types of furniture and furniture parts are poised to see tariff hikes. Other: A slew of sundry items are also on the tariff list, including live orchid plants, Christmas ornaments that aren’t made of glass or wood, dog leashes, fishing rods and antiques of a certain age.Thousands Of Indiana Residents Are Still Grappling With A Days-Long Power OutageNearly two weeks after major storms hit parts of northwest Indiana, thousands of people are still without power, NPR reported. On August 11, severe thunderstorms and strong winds tore through multiple cities in the region, taking out local power lines. As of Sunday, power restoration efforts in places like Gary, Portage and Munster were still ongoing for more than 16,000 residents. The outage has left people scrambling for aid and trying to cope without electricity. It’s also prompted critiques from civil rights advocates, who’ve condemned the speed of the response and called out racial disparities in how aid has been administered after natural disasters. “Eight days after the storm rolled through, there were still almost 25,000 Gary customers without Power, in a city that is 76% Black,” ACLU Indiana wrote in a social media statement on Saturday. “...It’s important that, when a disaster happens, the relief reaches every community quickly and equitably.”Melody Birmingham, an executive vice president for NIPSCO's parent company, has said the storm’s damage has made repairs challenging. “We have employees who live here. We have family members. I have family members who live here, friends who live here, and so we would not, we have not, and should not ever prioritize how we respond based on color, based on socioeconomic status,” Birmingham said during a press conference in Gary last week, Capital B reported. “That is not the business we’re in.”Read more from NPR: He Waited For His Son To Return From The USS Lincoln.

She said her husband, a handyman in Key West, Florida, has a permit to work in the United States.

He loves his children with all his soul,” said Argelia, 47.Read more at The Associated Press:'Make Freedom Roar': Trump Waves The Green Flag, Does Honorary Lap Before D.C. Grand PrixWASHINGTON (AP) — For once, things were moving fast in the nation’s capital.Washington was hosting an IndyCar race through its streets Sunday, with President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump kicking off the Freedom 250 Grand Prix by leading a slow lap in the presidential limousine through the course. Soon after, the president waved the green flag to start the race and drivers began whipping through downtown, including a stretch along Pennsylvania Avenue not too far from the White House.“I’m going to make a little circle in a nice, secure car, slightly slower than the ones we’re going to witness, but we’re going to have fun,” Trump said in an interview on Fox shortly before the ride.Read more:Abdul El-Sayed Directly Responds To JD Vance's Attacks With 1 Simple QuestionMichigan Democratic Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed on Saturday slammed Vice President JD Vance for distorting his old comments on Sharia law in what marked another instance of conservatives fixating on his Muslim identity.Vance, moments after mispronouncing El-Sayed’s name during a rally at an Ohio steel plant on Friday, claimed the progressive has argued that “criticisms of Sharia law were rooted in white supremacy.”“I’d love to go back in time and tell my papaw that there’s a man who claims to stand for working people who says not only should we have but, if you criticize it, you’re a white supremacist,” said Vance while warping El-Sayed’s comments.El-Sayed, in an appearance on MS NOW, said Vance was suggesting that some people are “more American than others because they can point to their papaw who was here earlier.”Read more:Wildfire Forces Thousands To Evacuate As It Approaches Reno, NevadaThe fast-growing Hawk Fire spread from the Sierra foothills toward the center of Reno early Sunday, growing to more than 10,500 acres.

No more!!!”The two governments have blamed each other for the collapse of negotiations in Washington on Friday, putting them deeper into a trade war over the weekend. The U.S. imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods, while Canada set Sept. 8 as the start of its retaliatory tariffs.“In recent days, the U.S. proposed new terms that were uneconomic, unfair and undermine the net benefits for Canada, and called into question the reliability of any deal. In short, they asked too much and they offered too little,” Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said Sunday.“You’re at war when you get attacked,” he continued. “We got attacked.”Sen. Chris Van Hollen Says He's 'Testing The Waters' On Running In 2028Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) said Sunday he’s been “kicking the tires, testing the waters” on running for president in 2028 – adding that while he wouldn’t reject an endorsement by some Democratic Socialists of America members, he’s “certainly not” seeking the endorsement of the DSA as a whole.“I’m kicking the tires, meaning I’ve been to New Hampshire. I was invited to go there. I was invited to go out to Iowa last summer. I think there’s a great deal of churning within the Democratic Party, and I support that,” he told NBC’s “Meet the Press.” “As I said, I think we need this healthy debate. Because I don’t think Democrats have put forward a clear alternative to the Trump administration.”The debate that’s surfaced within the Democratic Party surrounds just how much moderates and progressives are willing to work together to win the midterms, particularly as more DSA members are seen winning their primaries this year. Van Hollen said that while he disagrees on many of the DSA’s positions, he still believes it has a place in the party.“I’m not afraid to debate. I think that those in the Democratic Party who are afraid of a healthy debate are missing the point,” the senator said. “Because voters, including Democratic voters, they don’t want to simply return to the pre-Trump status quo. They want Democrats who are going to stand for something. And I can strongly disagree with one set of Democrats, but I think that debate is healthy.”Jeffries And Kushner Privately Met To Discuss Common Ground: NYTHouse Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) and Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top outside adviser, recently met in private to discuss areas of common ground, The New York Times reported on Sunday.At least three people told the outlet that the two met at a private space in New York City, where they reportedly discussed housing, immigration and cost of living as potential areas where there could be a working relationship between Democrats and the Trump administration. Those issues have so far failed to produce any compromise between the parties – including the president, who has refused to sign a bipartisan housing bill and maintained his aggressive position on immigration enforcement.The alleged meeting could suggest that Trump’s allies foresee Democrats retaking the House in November’s midterm election, which would put Jeffries in line to be speaker. Trump himself has not expressed willingness to work with the moderate, having previously called him a “thug” and referring to him in May as “low IQ.”Read more from the Times:Israel's Latest Deadly Gaza Strikes Cast Doubt On Ceasefire ProgressDeadly airstrikes in Gaza on Wednesday cast more doubt on whether new U.S. efforts can advance a tenuous ceasefire in the Palestinian territory.Just two days after U.S. negotiators reportedly asked Israel to draw down attacks in the Gaza Strip, at least 10 people were killed Wednesday in two strikes, according to local hospitals and the Palestinian Red Crescent.
