Hi Out readers, did you watch last night's debate?

From rumors about immigrants eating pet dogs and cats, to claims that doctors are executing babies after they're born, to claims that "illegal aliens" are getting transgender surgeries in prison, it was a wild, wild night.

While Trump ranted incoherently about dog-eating transgender immigrants, Vice President Kamala Harris seemed to stand firm and look very good next to him, even when she didn't directly answer questions about Putin, her policy plans, and other issues.

But one of the biggest stories of the night happened right after the debate ended. That's when pop superstar Taylor Swift finally broke her silence and endorsed Harris for president.

Swift had been coming under fire lately for not publicly endorsing Harris, especially after Trump shared fake, AI-generated images of her endorsing him, and due to her close friendship with vocal Trump supporter Brittany Mahomes.

But last night, she released a statement saying "I will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes I believe need a warrior to champion them. I think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and I believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. I was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman's right to her own body for decades."

Now, onto the news.
