Click the image above to launch the gallery.

The highlight of the third night of the Republican National Convention will be speeches by Vice President Mike Pence and the second lady of the United States, Karen Pence, but there is another major news story looming: Hurricane Laura.
Throughout the day on Wednesday, news networks already were doing a split screen tracker of the hurricane, which is posing a threat to the Gulf Coast as a potential category four storm as it makes landfall. That is projected on the Louisiana and Texas coasts sometime late in the evening or Thursday morning.
Convention planners have not yet said how or if the oncoming hurricane will be addressed during the evening’s events, or if any plans are changing.
This actually is not a new thing for political conventions – which often land in August, at the start of hurricane season. In 2008, Republicans canceled most of the events planned for the first...

Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon celebrated the 50th anniversary of Earth Day — and took a few easy digs at how President Donald Trump marked the occasion himself — on their late-night shows Wednesday.
Trump hosted a tree-planting ceremony at the White House Wednesday, even shoveling a bit of dirt himself — or as Colbert called it on The Late Show, “getting his exercise for the decade.” Colbert then broke out his Trump impression and quipped, “I’ve gotten a lot of practice at my press conferences; every day I just...

Lady Gaga criticized Vice President Mike Pence during the singer’s Enigma concert Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Earlier in the week, Pence’s wife Karen revealed she would resume teaching at a Christian school that barred Lgbtq students and employees. Following the uproar over Karen Pence’s role at the school, the vice president responded, “To see major news organizations attacking Christian education is deeply offensive to us.”
On Saturday, during her performance of “Million Reasons,” Gaga slammed Pence for thinking “it’s acceptable that his wife work at a school that bans Lgbtq.

When she isn't winning awards for her talent in A Star Is Born, Lady Gaga can be found in Las Vegas speaking her mind. The singer got political during her Enigma show on Saturday night and doubled down on President Donald Trump as well as Vice President Mike Pence. Gaga also made some blatant digs at Pence's wife, Karen Pence, whose new part-time job struck up some major controversy. Karen Pence recently accepted a role to teach art at Immanuel Christian School in Virginia. According to Washington Post, part of the school's employee standards says, "I understand that the term 'marriage' has only one meaning; the uniting of one man and one woman in a single,...

Last week, Rep. Steve King (R-ia) told the New York Times that he doesn’t understand why the terms “white supremacy” and “white nationalism” are offensive. Though King’s racism has been well-established, House Republicans made a show of denouncing the comments and on Monday stripped King of his committee assignments. President Trump has yet to comment. Same goes for Vice President Pence, although on Friday an aide to the vice president authorized to comment on background told Rolling Stone that “Congressman King’s comments were abhorrent and unacceptable and...

Karen Pence has accepted a part-time position teaching art at Immanuel Christian School in Virginia, a private institution that does not accept gay students and demands that employees agree to define marriage as “the uniting of one man and one woman,” The New York Times reports.
Those who wish to teach at the Immanuel Christian School must sign their initials next to a number of statements. The eighth statement on the institution’s “Articles of Employment,” according to The Times, reads “I understand that the term ‘marriage’ has only one...

In the battle of the bunny books, John Oliver is the clear winner. The family of Vice President Mike Pence released a children’s book on Monday written from the perspective of the family’s pet rabbit, Marlon Bundo. Unfortunately for the nation’s second family, the HBO personality released his own version on Sunday. Oliver’s features a gay Bundo, by the way, and its sales and reviews are kicking the carrots out of Karen Pence’s publication. The “Last Week Tonight” host’s “A Day in the Life of Marlon Bundo” is currently No. 1 in audiobooks on Amazon, and it boasts a five-star rating....

“Our Cartoon President,” Showtime’s animated comedy that skewers Donald Trump‘s White House, is hoping to shake up the 2018 Emmys … bigly. Best Animated Program has seen its fair share of repeat winners over the years, with 10-time champ “The Simpsons” being the granddaddy of all. “South Park” is next at three wins, followed by “Bob’s Burgers,” “Futurama” and “Star Wars: Clone Wars” with two apiece. But “Our Cartoon President” has a secret weapon that could help it break through with Emmy voters: co-creator Stephen Colbert.

Colbert is an Emmy favorite, winning nine trophies over the years for writing and producing both “The Colbert Report” and “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart.” As the star of CBS’s “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert,” he was tasked with hosting last year’s Emmy ceremony to great fanfare.

Showtime on Sunday introduced Our Cartoon President, which puts our current Potus at the center of his own workplace comedy. The Trump caricature, spun-off from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert, is joined by a supporting “cast” comprised of his most-trusted advisers (sons Eric and Donald Jr.), his closest allies (Speaker of the House Paul Ryan and goblin-esque Attorney General Jeff Sessions) and whatever the heck Ted Cruz is supposed to be.

Melania Trump is far from the most active Flotus to ever take to Twitter. In fact, the first lady has 9.77 million followers on her @Flotus account but follows only five people.
It seems worth noting that one of them is her husband’s predecessor and longtime political target, former President Barack Obama.
British novelist Matt Haig brought this interesting tidbit to Twitter’s (and our) attention on Friday, when he tweeted: “It’s a lovely bit of husband-trolling that Melania Trump only follows five people and one of them is Barack Obama.”
The first lady also follows husband Donald Trump’s personal and presidential accounts,...
