Vice President Kamala Harris blasted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Saturday following his comment that the GOP may look to repeal the Chips and Science Act if they maintain control of Congress.

“I want to speak to the comments that have been recently made by the speaker of the House,” Harris told reporters in Milwaukee, according to NBC News. “It is just further evidence of everything that I’ve actually been talking about for months now, about [former President Donald] Trump’s intention to implement Project 2025.”

Documentary filmmaker R.J. Cutler (“Billie Eilish: The World is a Little Blurry”) is enjoying a busy fall with two documentaries releasing back to back. Netflix is now streaming “Martha,” his searing and fascinating portrait of the lifestyle icon, and Disney+ will air his moving tribute “Elton John: Never Too Late” after its November 15 theatrical release. Screen Talk sat down with Cutler for a live interview at the Toronto International Film Festival (the full conversation is here) to dig into both films.

What’s surprising about “Martha” is how much Stewart cooperated, letting Cutler look at her prison diaries, for example. Her powerful personality is not always a pretty picture.

Updated: Hundreds of protesters were arrested on Capitol Hill today as they demonstrated inside the Cannon Office Building, chanting for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war.

The demonstrators initially protested on the Capitol grounds, but then made their way into the rotunda of the office building, where a number of media outlets have crews for correspondents to do standups during congressional proceedings.

The protests were organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, which says it is the largest progressive anti-Zionist organization in the world.

Demonstrators unfurled a banner in the rotunda that read “Jews Say Ceasefire Now!” and another that read “Let Gaza Live.” Throughout the afternoon, demonstrators under arrest were lined up in hallways with plastic shackles to be processed, at times singing and chanting.

A Capitol Police spokesperson said that 308 people were charged in the protest, most for demonstrating inside a capitol office building. The public is allowed to enter the Capitol office buildings,...
