TAKEOFF,

Hurricane Francine Hits Louisiana Coast,

Hurricane Francine made landfall in Terrebonne Parish, Louisiana, at 6 p.m. ET Wednesday as a Category 2 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 100 mph.

The storm, located about 30 miles south-southwest of Morgan City, was moving northeast at 17 mph.

Officials have declared states of emergency in Louisiana and Mississippi, with many coastal areas under evacuation orders.

Fani Willis Fights State Subpoenas,

Three judges recused themselves this week as Fulton County DA Fani Willis attempted to block subpoenas requiring her testimony before a Georgia State Senate committee.

The committee subpoenaed Willis to testify tomorrow and submit documents on the 2020 election probe that resulted in her office charging former President Trump and associates with election interference.

On Sept. 4, Willis filed a petition seeking a permanent injunction, arguing that the committee’s broad subpoenas would harm her case.

It remained unclear whether a new judge would be assigned in time to hear the case before Friday’s Senate hearing. It was also uncertain whether Willis would comply with the subpoenas if an injunction was not issued.

TAKEOFF,

Trump, Harris Battle Through Debate,

The first presidential debate between former President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris Tuesday night was often contentious, with both candidates often turning to personal attacks.

The debate lasted about 1 hour and 45 minutes and on several occasions, ABC moderator David Muir argued with Trump over his statements while Harris watched.

Both nominees attempted to outline their futures for America with Harris focusing on the middle class and Trump on rebuilding the economy and national security.

Harris tried to distance herself from President Biden while describing her potential presidency as a change agent that would move the country forward.

Trump countered by highlighting the numerous failed policies under the Biden administration.

In the closing arguments, Harris reiterated her focus on the future and the middle class, leading Trump to ask, “Why hasn’t she done it?” while in office for the past 3.5 years.

Southern California is ablaze, with more than 100,000 acres scorched in eight separate fires as of Tuesday. Here’s a map and list of the major fires.

Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency this weekend, and evacuation orders have been issued to thousands of residents of communities in the county. Here’s video of the blaze.

Meanwhile, the smaller Airport Fire in Orange County has burned over 9,000 acres and is 0% contained. Firefighting efforts have been complicated by triple-digit temperatures, a small earthquake, and thunderstorm winds, causing erratic fire behavior.

Officer Danny Torres, a 27-year veteran, was placed on administrative duty pending investigation.

According to reports, Hill was driving a black 2018 McLaren Sunday morning when officers stopped him for speeding. After a brief detention, Hill was cited $179 for careless driving and $129 for failing to wear a seat belt.

One prominent sports analyst placed blame on both parties, saying the officer “went overboard” and Hill was “uncooperative.”
