Vice President Kamala Harris referred to herself as the president before catching her mistake, but not before the crowd erupted in cheers during the eulogy for the late Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-TX) on Thursday. Harris delivered the eulogy for Lee at a Houston-area church and made the blunder while discussing some of the issues Lee championed as a congresswoman. “[A]s a leader who believed deeply that America’s true and full history must be acknowledged and honored, it was Sheila Jackson Lee whose bill made Juneteenth a federal holiday. Which, as a United States senator, I was proud to co-sponsor,” Harris said. “And then as president, as vice president, it was my honor with the president…” Harris paused as those in attendance erupted in cheers and applause.

Numerous Republicans called on Biden to resign after he ended his campaign, with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) arguing, “If Joe Biden is not fit to run for President, he is not fit to serve as President.” The vice president has held multiple campaign rallies after getting the backing of much of the Democratic Party elite, but she has been criticized for not taking any questions from the media or holding a press conference. Harris was also blasted earlier this week for seemingly changing her voice and adopting a Southern drawl while speaking to a large crowd of supporters in Atlanta. WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — MATT WALSH’S EXPOSÉ ON DEI After taking the mantle as the presumed Democratic nominee, Harris has pushed her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, to agree to debate her on September 10 after Trump had agreed to a debate with Biden on the same date. “He won’t debate, but he and his running mate sure seem to have a lot to say about me,” Harris said at her Atlanta rally. “Well, Donald, I do hope you’ll reconsider to meet me on the debate stage because, as the saying goes, if you got something to say, say it to my face.” Trump told Fox News host Laura Ingraham earlier this week that he will “probably” debate Harris, but added, “I can also make a case for not doing it.”

The House Judiciary Committee is ramping up its investigation into the Global Alliance for Responsible Media (GARM), which allegedly colluded with advertisers to keep business from conservative news outlets. Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) on Thursday wrote to more than 40 companies connected to GARM, instructing them to turn over relevant documents to the committee. Jordan also asked the companies—including behemoths like Pepsi, Adidas, and Shell—whether they agreed with GARM’s actions. “The Committee has uncovered evidence of coordinated action by GARM and its member companies, including boycotts of disfavored social media platforms, podcasts, and news outlets,” Jordan writes. Jordan’s letter is the latest step in the committee’s probe of GARM. Last month, Daily Wire co-founder Ben Shapiro testified before the committee about GARM’s actions. Emails obtained by the committee showed GARM and ad-buying executives expressing contempt for conservatives, admitting that they used rules about “conspiracy theories” and “misinformation” as a pretext to withhold revenue from conservative news sites, including The Daily Wire. The committee’s investigation could clarify whether GARM and ad firms were manipulating or misrepresenting their customers, or if those customers were active participants in denying ads to conservative websites. If those companies—many of whom are direct competitors—coordinated their activities, they could run afoul of antitrust laws, Jordan said. According to the committee, GARM has “deviated far from its original intent” or creating a “‘more sustainable and responsible digital environment,'” and instead “has collectively used its immense market power to demonetize voices and viewpoints the group disagrees with—even intervening in situations that do not have a so-called ‘brand safety’ concern.” Jordan asked each company whether it agreed with GARM executive Robert Rakowitz’s complaint that an “extreme global interpretation of the US Constitution” and “taking US norms and applying them globally” was a hindrance to advertisers. The letters also ask whether the companies “participate in any collective boycotts with GARM or its members that it believes is exempt from antitrust law, and whether they supported or were “aware of the coordinated actions taken by GARM toward news outlets and podcasts such as The Joe Rogan Experience, The Daily Wire, Breitbart News, or Fox News, or other conservative media.” WATCH THE TRAILER FOR ‘AM I RACIST?’ — MATT WALSH’S EXPOSÉ ON DEI Emails reveal that Joe Barone, GroupM’s Managing Partner Brand Safety Americas, admitted the group had “Daily Wire on our Global High Risk exclusion list, categorized as Conspiracy Theories.” In an email to Rakowitz, GroupM Executive Vice President of Global Brand Safety John Montgomery admitted that the group did not find that The Daily Wire published misinformation. GroupM CEO Christian Juhl struggled to explain the emails when he testified before the committee alongside Shapiro. He was replaced as CEO soon after.
