Vice President Kamala Harris rejected the idea of allowing religious exemptions if she becomes president in her push to codify Roe v. Wade. Harris — who has already indicated that she is willing to blow up the Senate filibuster to ram through her agenda — signaled support for an even more extreme measure during an NBC News interview that aired Tuesday night. Interviewer Hallie Jackson asked Harris if she would be willing to offer concessions on abortion to get legislation passed to protect access to it. “Religious exemptions, for example, is that something that you would consider with a Republican-controlled Congress?” she asked. Harris snapped back: “I don’t think we should be making concessions when we’re talking about a fundamental freedom to make decisions about your own body.” MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ COMING TO DAILYWIRE+ OCT. 28 “A basic freedom has been taken from the women of America: the freedom to make decisions about their own body,” she claimed. “And that cannot be negotiable, which is that we need to put back in the protections of Roe v Wade. And that is it.” When asked about having to face the realities of a divided Congress, Harris refused to engage, saying: “I’m not going to go down that rabbit hole with you right now.” The remarks from Harris come as she plans to visit Texas on Friday where she will campaign on the issue of abortion.

When the Beatles entered the music scene in the 1960s, the world had never seen anything like them. The Fab Four changed the music world, and Beatlemania was a cultural phenomenon. Girls screamed, cried, and sometimes fainted when they saw George Harrison, John Lennon, Paul McCartney, and Ringo Starr perform. Today, just two of the Beatles remain, and Ringo Starr believes that Taylor Swift has the same musical impact his band did years ago. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Ringo Starr (@ringostarrmusic) Taylor Swift Reminds Ringo Starr of Himself and His Former Beatles Bandmates The former Beatles drummer told American Songwriter that Taylor is the 21st-century version of the Fab Four. “I think Taylor Swift is great anyway,” Ringo Starr said. “She’s pulling them in, you know. When we talk about her, I always have to mention that the first time I met her, she was 14. She was at the Grammys with her mother. Then, I saw a photo of her the other day, just yesterday, of her and her mother.” Ringo Starr said Taylor Swift’s mystical and cultural impact is more like the Beatles than any other musical act in recent history. And this isn’t new. Far Out Magazine reported that Ringo told ABC in 2009 how he felt, “I love Taylor Swift. That’s just how I am. I love her.” Former Beatle Paul McCartney has the same feeling about Taylor Swift. Paul told the BBC in 2018 Taylor inspired him when writing Who Cares, “I was actually thinking about Taylor Swift and her relationship to her young fans. It’s sort of a sisterly thing.” He said he used Taylor’s writing style to reach struggling listeners. “Who cares about you? Well, I do.” We’re unsure if Ringo Starr had a chance to see Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour. But if he’s the kind of Swiftie we think he is, we’re sure he streamed it, at least.

A TikToker has garnered quite a bit of attention after sharing a video of his homemade robot leaf blower. The entire contraption looks like something you’d find at a friend’s house, and while it doesn’t look like it just rolled off the manufacturing line itself, it seems to do a pretty good job of blowing leaves around the yard. The TikToker behind the robot goes by manufacturingmillennial online, and he looks to have built the entire thing using a Unitree robot dog, a Dewalt battery-operated leaf blower, a Pringles can, and some kind of cord—possibly bailing twine. While the Pringles can might seem a bit off the wall, the creator of the homemade robot leaf blower says he used it to tilt the blower down, as it was the closest thing in his shed that would work at the time of construction. Of course, it would make sense for someone to try to capitalize on a robot capable of doing things like blowing leaves around in the yard. Yardwork (and housework as a whole) are key areas where we’ll likely see big advancements for robotic workers. In fact, we’re already seeing robot butlers being put to the test and trained to do common everyday tasks. https://www.tiktok.com/@manufacturingmillennial/video/7428383791464385823 The video is only around forty-five seconds long, but that’s more than enough time to see the homemade robot leaf blower in action as it sends leaves flitting across the lawn before it. It isn’t the most impressive thing we’ve ever seen a robot do—China still takes the cake for that with its rifle-toting robot dogs—but it is still remarkable that someone did all of this at home with just a few leftover items. Now, exactly how long the robot would be able to work is another question altogether. There is a lot of discourse about how long Dewalt battery-operated leaf blowers last. But, the creator of the homemade robot leaf blower says that the robot itself has around a three-and-a-half-hour battery life. So, if you can make the leaf blower last that long, you could blow quite a lot of leaves.

Vulnerable Senate Democrats in the Blue Wall states have been distancing themselves from the Biden-Harris administration and going so far as to embrace the policies of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump in the waning days of their reelection campaigns.
