Kamala Harris mocked for post celebrating one-year anniversary of failed presidential campaign
Former Vice President Kamala Harris was mocked on Monday for commemorating the one-year anniversary of the start of her failed presidential campaign.
One year ago Monday, then-President Joe Biden announced via social media that he would be dropping out of the presidential race.
He shortly thereafter endorsed Harris, who went on to become the Democratic nominee for the 2024 presidential election.

Harris celebrated the anniversary by writing a post on X with photos from her past campaign.
'One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States. Over the 107 days of our race, I had the opportunity and honor to travel our nation and meet with Americans who were fighting for a better future. And today, millions of Americans continue to stand up for our values, our ideals, and our democracy. Their courage and resolve inspires me. Whether you are attending a protest, calling your representatives, or building community, I want to say: Thank you. We are in this fight together,' Harris wrote.

Washington Free Beacon investigative reporter Chuck Ross joked, 'lol. complete Joe Biden erasure.'
Political commentator Link Lauren agreed, 'No mention of Biden again. Really trying to erase her association with him. She was there in lockstep with that failing administration. I don't have amnesia.'
'I wonder what caused that campaign to begin on July 21,' National Review senior writer Dan McLaughlin remarked.

'One year ago today, I began my campaign for President of the United States.' Oh wow, I remember that. What did Drew Barrymore call you? Momala? Oooh, and Beyonce endorsed you, right? How did you work out? Did you win?' author John Hawkins joked.
'Your failure and reputation were complete,' Townhall.com columnist Kurt Schlichter wrote.

Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell set to meet today with DOJ
WASHINGTON − Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche plans to meet with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell on July 24 to find out what more she can say about her dealings with disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, according to news reports. CNN, ABC and NBC News reported the expected meeting with the former British socialite, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for trafficking a minor to Epstein for sexual abuse. News of the meeting date comes as President Donald Trump continues to try and contain the growing backlash over the Epstein saga and his administration's recent decision not to release Epstein investigative files in the custody of the Justice Department. DOJ officials did not immediately respond to a USA TODAY request for comment. Who is Ghislaine Maxwell? DOJ turns to Jeffrey Epstein's ex-partner The meeting comes as many Trump supporters, Democratic lawmakers and even some Republicans demand the release of more information about the accused sex trafficker, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges. Maxwell is also reportedly set to meet on Aug 11. with congressional lawmakers after the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed her on July 23. In a social media post Tuesday, Blanche – who is Trump's former personal defense lawyer – said that if 'Ghislane Maxwell has information about anyone who has committed crimes against victims, the FBI and the DOJ will hear what she has to say.' This is a developing story and will be updated.

These are the names a House panel plans to subpoena in its Epstein probe
A House subcommittee on Wednesday voted to subpoena the Justice Department's documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation — as well as it plans to pull a plethora of other high-profile public figures into the fray. The big picture: The ongoing Epstein earthquake has rumbled through Capitol Hill — despite President Trump 's attempts to quell the noise — with bipartisan efforts emerging to force the release of more files. Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of "any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval" last week, but the request hit a snag in court. Meanwhile, the president has railed against what he's labeled as a "hoax" as the controversy continues to snowball. Driving the news: The House Oversight Subcommittee on Federal Law Enforcement on Wednesday voted 8-2 in favor of the Democratic subpoena motion. Three GOP representatives voted in favor of the motion. The day prior, Rep. Tim Burchett (R-Tenn.) introduced a motion to subpoena imprisoned Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, with whom the DOJ is also arranging a meeting, to testify. Zoom out: But the subcommittee's planned subpoenas don't stop there, with several other high-profile former officials set to be pressed for their testimony following a motion from Rep. Scott Perry (R-Pa.). They include: Former President Bill Clinton, who a spokesperson said in 2019 knew nothing of Epstein's "terrible crimes," and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton; Former FBI Directors James Comey and Robert Mueller, who served as special counsel in the Russian election interference probe; The bottom line: Subpoenas are not an indication of wrongdoing, and it's unclear what lawmakers think those officials will offer to the investigation. What's next: House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) has already issued a subpoena to Maxwell for a deposition to occur on August 11, according to a Wednesday press release from the committee. The DOJ, which also plans to meet with Maxwell, will help facilitate the meeting at a Florida prison. An Oversight spokesman said that the new batch of subpoenas"will be issued in the near future," multiple outlets reported.

Fired NJ prosecutor says she's prepared to take job
A New Jersey prosecutor selected by judges to replace President Trump's pick for U.S. attorney, Alina Habba, said Wednesday she is prepared to assume the role, despite having been fired by top Justice Department (DOJ) officials a day earlier. Desiree Grace, the prosecutor, said in a LinkedIn post that she's honored by her appointment 'on merit' and is ready to begin serving 'in accordance with the law.' 'I've served under both Republican and Democratic administrations,' she wrote in the lengthy post. 'I've been promoted four times in the last five years by both — including four months ago by this administration. Politics never impacted my work at the Department. Priorities change, of course, and resources are shifted, but the work and the mission were steady.' Grace's intention to abide by the judges' order heightens the standoff with senior Justice Department officials in Washington, who have doubled down in support of Habba continuing to lead the U.S. attorney's office for New Jersey. A former personal lawyer to Trump, Habba's 120-day interim term is set to expire this week. Her trial period has at times been contentious; two Democratic public officials faced criminal charges over an incident at a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility under her leadership. On Tuesday, the U.S. District Court of New Jersey issued a terse standing order declining to retain her, instead appointing Grace to serve in the role indefinitely after a private vote Monday. Attorney General Pam Bondi responded to the judges' decision by terminating Grace's employment. 'This Department of Justice does not tolerate rogue judges — especially when they threaten the President's core Article II powers,' Bondi wrote. Though Bondi said she removed Grace, it's not clear she had the authority to do so. Only the president is empowered to remove U.S. attorneys appointed by judges, legal experts previously told The Hill. Grace's post seemed to double as a goodbye message, despite her defiant words announcing readiness to assume the role. 'It has been the honor of a lifetime to represent the United States and to serve the people of New Jersey for the last nine years,' Grace said. 'There's no better place to work. There's no mission more important. 'How lucky I've been to be guided by nothing more than the genuine desire to do the right thing for the right reason each and every day,' she added.
