Former president Donald Trump’s campaign has filed a Federal Election Commission (FEC) complaint against the Washington Post, accusing the publication of making “illegal corporate in-kind contributions to Harris for President.” The FEC complaint cites a Semafor report on how the Washington Post pays to boost stories “critical of Trump as subscribers flee,” a story that mentions how the Washington Post “aggressively ramped up its paid advertising campaign, boosting dozens of articles related to the election,” starting Monday, Oct. 28. The Post was boosting generally positive stories about Kamala Harris, the report says. “The facts support a reasonable inference that The Washington Post made, and Harris for President accepted, an illegal corporate contribution in the form of coordinated communications,” the complaint states. “Therefore, the Commission should find reason to believe a violation has occurred, conduct an immediate investigation, and assess an appropriate sanction for this corporate interference in our elections.” In a letter sent Oct. 31, Trump deputy general counsel Gary Lawkowski writes that “on the eve of the 2024 general election,” the Washington Post is reportedly “conducting a dark money corporate campaign in opposition to President Donald J. Trump — pretextually using its own online advertising efforts to promote Kamala Harris’s presidential candidacy.” “There is reason to believe that the Washington Post violated the Federal Election Campaign Act and Federal Election Commission regulations by making illegal corporate in-kind contributions,” he wrote. “Therefore, we call upon the Commission to immediately investigate expenditures by The Washington Post.” I smell an FEC complaint this is classic election interference Washington Post pays to boost stories critical of Trump as subscribers flee | Semafor https://t.co/UaV1yVB7Gv — Chris LaCivita (@LaCivitaC) October 30, 2024 The Washington Post has drawn backlash from its readers and writers after it announced last week that it would not endorse a presidential candidate. Owner Jeff Bezos defended the announcement, saying that “presidential endorsements do nothing to tip the scales of an election.” The Federal Election Campaign Act makes it unlawful for corporations “to make a contribution or expenditure in connection with any election to any political office . . . or for any candidate, political committee, or other person knowingly to accept or receive any contribution,” the complaint notes. “According to reports, the Post is using its advertising powers to promote pro-Kamala and anti-Trump coverage to voters in the final days of the election,” the Trump campaign said in a release. “While they declined to endorse her publicly, they have endorsed her in the dark; so much for ‘Democracy Dies in Darkness.'” “The mainstream media has become nothing more than pro-Kamala propaganda,” the Trump campaign added. “The Democrat machine must be held accountable.” The complaint notes that the Washington Post should not be able to “avail itself” of the FECA’s “press” or “media” exemption for its advertising. Lawkowski writes that by “boosting content to influence the election, The Washington Post is acting as like any other partisan player in the election process, not in its capacity as a press entity.” It continues: “The Washington Post’s public advertising efforts in coordination with the Harris campaign is ‘core electioneering activity’ and thus not protected under the media exemption.” The Harris campaign did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Every single year, tons of tourists make their way to Mount Fuji. While this gorgeous summit is an incredible place to visit anytime of the year, the months of October until late June can be especially special. Why? Because this is when the mountain is perfectly covered in snow. Well, that is usually the case, anyway. But this year is very different. Despite the fact that it’s November 1, there is not a single flake of snow on the mountain. It’s entirely bare for the first time in over a century. We know this because record keeping on these kinds of details began 130 years ago. Needless to say, it is quite a strange sight to see this popular peak so bare. See it for yourself in the video below. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Channel 4 News (@channel4news) “That’s the 1st image I’ve seen of Mount Fuji without snow,” someone in the comment section shares, with another adding, “It’s so sad seeing how much the environment is struggling.” You might not be too surprised by the lack of snow on Mount Fuji. Places all across the world continue to see record-high temperatures, even as we enter the month of November. Plus, Japan just had its hottest summer on record. Record-Breaking Heat Leaves Mount Fuji Snowless in October for the First Time in at Least 130 Years With scientists continuing to express their concern for the impacts of climate change, this certainly aligns with those fears. But as scary as these moments can be, they serve as a good reminder that it’s not too late to find ways to treat our planet with kindness. In fact, the United Nations shared 10 ways we can each make a difference. This includes saving energy at home, recycling, and spreading word about ways we can all make a difference.

Leah Harmon Rhodes is a busy mom with three kids. She finds time daily to “share her chaos” on TikTok and Instagram as musiccitymom. She wants to help others feel “seen” and less alone in motherhood. In between the life moments, new recipes, and mental health reminders, she includes snippets of her children as they grow. This is an older snippet of her then-toddler son channeling an “old man” personality. @musiccitymom This popped up on my memories from 6 years ago and I felt like it deserved a permanent spot on the feed. I can’t believe this same kid now says “bruh” and “bet” every other word. #momlife ♬ original sound – musiccitymom As a vehicle pulls up to the curb where she waits, her toddler smiles broadly in the back seat. He looks up with a grin and says, “Hop in Toots!” The unexpected old man greeting from her toddler had Leah giggling uncontrollably. And honestly, her giggles make the scene even funnier. We’re unsure where the young boy learned that phrase, but we suspect he might be spending time with Grandpa. There are many things that toddlers say that could be questionable. As a parent, you know what they’re saying, so it’s okay. Should we be laughing at these cute little toddlerisms? Probably not, but every parent does it. My kid is 22 and we still call them “potaboes” and go to the “hostibal” when we’re sick. Image from Instagram. Leah’s son is no longer a toddler, and he has given up calling her Toots. Now he calls her “Bruh.” Anyone with a kid probably has similar experiences. Parents should avoid using words like “Yeet” in a sentence and answering everything with “Bet.” Leah introduces herself on Instagram with a short video describing her channel and what followers will find there. Her refreshing, bubbly personality will have you smiling. Some of her recipes are key to keeping a family happy. The family is passionate about Kraft macaroni & cheese.
