President Trump has gutted the U.S. government's support for AIDS healthcare around the world while ordering an end to commemorations of World AIDS Day, observed annually on December 1. Cuts to U.S. foreign aid are having a disproportionate impact on LGBTQ communities in many countries, says journalist and scholar Steven Thrasher, speaking from Uganda. "There are people who've been harmed very immediately," he says. Thrasher, who teaches at Northwestern University, also comments on the school's $75 million payout to the Trump administration to settle a discrimination probe and restore frozen federal funding, calling it a "travesty."

 Fox NewsFox News host Bret Baier recapped his Wednesday night interview with Vice President Kamala Harris, telling his colleagues that he got a sense early on that Harris "was going to be tough to redirect without me trying to interrupt."
The interview, Harris' first on the right-wing network since becoming the Democratic nominee, was broadcast on Special Report after being filmed in the previous hour. According to Baier, the interview had been scheduled for 5 p.m., but Harris showed up 15 minutes late. This, he complained, was like "icing the kicker" in football.

And then the vice president showed up at about 5:15 p.m. We were pushing the envelope to be able to turn it around for the top of the 6:00 p.m.. So that's how it started," Baier said.
