Vice President Kamala Harris made headlines when she arrived at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago earlier this week wearing a tan suit. But delegates and other attendees at the convention have mostly been awash in red, white and blue.
Many have been sporting customized fashion accessories, like T-shirts, hats and earrings — even a cape — emblazoned with Harris's name or image.

Others inside the United Center have come with vintage merch, featuring Democratic candidates of yore, such as former President Barack Obama, who addressed the convention on night two, Hillary Clinton, the 2016 Democratic nominee who spoke on night one, and even former President Jimmy Carter, who has spent more than a year in hospice care.

And, just like any convention, there are the buttons and pins. Lots and lots of buttons and pins.
The four-day convention continues Wednesday.

Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey issued a slew of aggressive executive orders on his first full day as West Virginia's chief executive Tuesday, including one enabling families to receive religious exemptions from required school vaccinations — a massive departure for a state with one of the strictest vaccine policies in the nation. Another order called for the termination of all Diversity, Equity and Inclusion, or DEI, initiatives from state-run institutions, something Morrisey said he believes will protect West Virginians from racial and gender discrimination — especially “inappropriate” preferential treatment for certain groups over others. According to U.S. Census estimates for 2024, West Virginia’s population is just under 93% white, making it among the least diverse U.S. states.

STORY: South Korea's impeached president Yoon Suk Yeol was arrested Wednesday, a first for a sitting president of the country.It's the latest turn in a political crisis sparked by his short-lived declaration of martial law last month which eventually saw Yoon hiding out at his residence for weeks, protected by personal security, to avoid authorities who wanted to detain him on grounds of insurrection.More than 3,000 police officers marched on Yoon's residence Wednesday and a motorcade later took him to the country's anti-corruption agency - the CIO, or the Corruption Investigation Office for High-ranking Officials. South Korean journalists snapped the moment he stepped out of the car, and into the agency's offices in Gwacheon, just south of Seoul.Investigators have 48 hours to question him.After that, they must release him or seek a warrant to detain him for longer.In a video message recorded before his detention, Yoon said he turned himself in for questioning to avoid any bloodshed and disputed the legality of the investigation and arrest. "Today, when I saw them break into the security area using firefighting equipment, I decided to respond to the CIO's investigation - despite it being an illegal investigation - to prevent unsavory bloodshed. However, that doesn’t mean I am acknowledging the investigation of the CIO.”Earlier in the morning, scuffles broke out between Yoon's supporters and police who were trying to arrest him.Many of his supporters have compared his situation and that of U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, who claimed voter fraud contributed to his election defeat in 2020.Yoon has also made unsubstantiated claims of election fraud - one of the reasons he gave to justify his short-lived martial law declaration.His lawyers have said the arrest warrant is illegal.They say it was issued by a court in the wrong jurisdiction and the team set up to investigate him has no legal mandate to do so.Lawmakers voted to impeach Yoon last month after his martial law order on December 3 ushered in unprecedented political turmoil.In a previous attempt to arrest Yoon on January 3, the presidential security service and military guards blocked CIO investigators in a six-hour standoff. The agency has since apologized for initially failing to arrest Yoon on that day. Separately, the country's Constitutional Court is deliberating whether to uphold Yoon's impeachment and permanently remove him from office, or restore his presidential powers.
