  1. With #Election Day looming, #JohnKelly — deeply bothered by #Trump’s recent comments about employing the #military against his #domestic opponents — agreed to three on-the-record, recorded discussions with a reporter for The New York Times about the former president, providing some of his most wide-ranging comments yet about Trump’s fitness & character.

  2. The moves are the latest example of #Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies, which have formed the bedrock of his political message for yrs. Just in recent weeks, for example, Trump has seized on fabricated tales of migrants eating pets & Venezuelan gangs overtaking cities in pushing his anti-#immigration message as he seeks a second term in office.

  3. And this month, #Trump refused to sit down for an interview w/CBS’s “60 Minutes” because he objected to the show’s practice of fact-checking.
    
Campaign advisers also expressly asked CBS News to forgo fact checking in its VP debate w/ Trump’s running mate, Ohio Sen #JDVance — who then complained on air when a moderator corrected him.

  4. #Trump nearly backed out of an August interview w/ #NABJ, a group of Black journalists, after learning they planned to #FactCheck his claims. The following month, he & his allies repeatedly complained about the fact-checking that occurred during his debate w/VP #KamalaHarris, berating #journalists & #news executives in the middle of the televised debate.

  5. #Trump goes to war against real-time #FactChecks
    
The moves are the latest example of Trump’s long-held resistance to being called to account for his #lies.

Trump & his campaign have waged an aggressive campaign against #FactChecking in recent months, pushing TV networks, #journalism orgs & others to abandon the practice if they hope to interact w/Trump.

    After court rulings that first outlawed the boxes & then made them legal again, #ConspiracyTheories continue to stir opposition that will result in heightened surveillance at sites this #election. The hijacking of one box reflects the controversy.

  11. Since #Hurricane #Helene caused widespread devastation throughout the South, the #Trump
    campaign & other #conservatives have touted a #lie that federal agencies are intentionallyresponding slowly to #Republican-voting areas. In a fiery response, FEMA spokesperson Jaclyn Rothenberg slammed the idea that FEMA takes party affiliation into account.

  12. "#FEMA helps all people": Agency responds to #Trump’s BS claims that they aren't helping #Republicans [no weirdo that was YOU; ‘withhold crucial funding/services from blue states,’ yeah, you insurrectionist criminal rapist it was you who wanted to only fund your “loyalist” states]

    As Trump claims FEMA leaves Republican areas behind, the agency says #disinformation discourages relief applications.

  13. There is no way to translate that gibberish. President Joe #Biden gave a disastrous debate performance, & people called for him to step down over 1 lousy night. Yet #Trump turned into a potato at the rally, & nothing is said. And that clip wasn't the only part where Trump's mental acuity should be questioned. The former President's entire speech was glaringly deranged.

  14. Silence From Crowd As Blithering Idiot Rambles Incoherently

    #Trump has always had issues w/his mental health. I'm not a psychiatrist, but it's been plain to see for yrs. However, he's gotten much worse. But move over sharks & electrocution because at his small rally in Erie, PA, the fmr President started rambling incoherently, & the crowd went silent.

  20. …The campaign stop was part of the “Courage Tour,” a series of multiday #religious revivals organized by #Wallnau meant to electrify the #evangelical vote in swing states. At these weekend events, Pentecostal worship & reactionary #politics intermingle: There’s plenty of praise-singing, faith healing, & speaking in tongues.

  22. #JDVance’s willingness to campaign w/ #Wallnau—who preaches that #Trump is prophesied by God to be president so that Christians can take over American government & society—did not go unnoticed by the press. It was, many analysts concluded, an indicator of #Vance’s growing ties to #ChristianNationalism.

  28. “He’s not here anymore,” said Farokh Sarmad, the #crypto entrepreneur who hosted the livestream. “We took too long. We’re gonna try & get him back.” It would have marked #BarronTrump’s first major speaking role in public.

    “Damned teenagers,” joked #Trump’s eldest child, 46-yr-old Donald Jr., who sat in on the livestream along w/his 40-yr-old brother, Eric.

  29. #Barron Bails On His #Trump #Crypto Launch Speech Because Dad's #Blathering Took Too Long

    In what may be the most perfectest Trump product launch ever, Barron (evidently eager to prove #KamalaHarris right about his Dad’s rallies) decided to bail on his presentation as the “visionary” behind the project because his Dad’s blathering took too long. Perfect. So so perfect.

    The task force would have the authority to audit federal #spending & #regulations, & came at the recommendation of #Musk himself, Trump said in remarks Thurs to the Economic Club of New York.
