Election Countdown: Trump, Harris go from west to heartland
SUMMARY: During a campaign event in crucial western battleground states, former President Trump rallied supporters alongside ousted Fox News host Tucker Carlson, using provocative rhetoric and seemingly threatening former Congresswoman Liz Cheney, who endorsed Vice President Harris. Cheney criticized Trump’s remarks on social media, labeling them as dictatorial. Trump also shared the stage with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped out of the presidential race to support him. In response, Harris, at a rally in Las Vegas, emphasized her commitment to unity and criticized Trump’s divisive approach, while both candidates pledged to prioritize cost reduction from day one of their potential presidencies.

Ideas for helping NC child care industry are solidifying, but a top suggestion faces headwinds
SUMMARY: North Carolina’s Child Care Task Force, led by Gov. Josh Stein, Lt. Gov. Rachel Hunt, and Sen. Jim Burgin, is addressing child care affordability, workforce pay, and financial stability, especially in rural areas. Child care providers struggle financially due to low subsidies and high costs, with infant care averaging $11,720 annually statewide. Owners like Halee Hartley and Annette Anderson-Samuels work multiple jobs to sustain their centers. The task force prioritizes raising minimum subsidy reimbursement rates to support providers equitably across counties. Discussions include establishing a child care endowment fund, leveraging philanthropy to supplement funding amid uncertain state and federal budgets.

Court docs show Harris Lake boating suspect had prior legal troubles
SUMMARY: Court documents reveal Quinton Kite, charged with causing a deadly boating accident at Harris Lake that killed a 10-year-old girl and critically injured a woman, had prior legal troubles. Kite was out on a $15,000 bond from a December 2023 felony hit-and-run charge involving Alex Meyers, who was seriously injured but survived. Dashcam and security footage showed Kite’s damaged truck after leaving the crash scene. Meyers expressed frustration that earlier legal action might have prevented the tragedy. Additionally, court records from New Mexico show Kite pleaded no contest to a 2009 DUI charge, completed probation, and attended DWI school.
That includes arrests in 2009 and pending charges from a hit-and-run in 2023 that injured a Vass resident.

We saw a human skeleton in this video.
SUMMARY: The video showed a human skeleton, deeply affecting the family, especially their brother, Evatar, who is critically ill and near death. He’s described as a kind, musical soul who plays guitar, sharing music with the narrator, who plays the piano. The family is devastated, unable to watch the video, but focused on saving him. Doctors say Evatar has only days left and urgently needs food, medical care, and vitamins to survive. Despite his fragile state, his spirit remains unbroken, and both he and his family believe he will recover. The narrator longs for his warm hugs and smile.
ABC News’ Ian Pannell spoke to the brother of Evyatar David, an Israeli hostage seen in footage released by Hamas over the weekend.
Evyatar’s brother, Ilya, says the release of the video “crushed” his family and that doctors say his sibling has only a “few days to live.”
