Jailed reporters, silenced networks: What Trump says he'd do to the media if elected

The NYT has added 9 audio clips from Mike Schmidt’s interview w/ #JohnKelly.
The #Trump campaign’s response to the article & Kelly’s statements is laughable; Trump says the stories are long “debunked” which isn’t true, it was that Kelly hadn’t gone on record so it couldn’t be verified. Obviously, now he is on the record.

A new poll shows 68% of voters consider LGBTQ rights when choosing a candidate.
Let's compare Harris and Trump:
Trump's record on LGBTQ rights includes banning transgender individuals from military service and reinforcing religious liberty exemptions to anti-discrimination laws.
As California AG, Harris declined to defend the state's same-sex marriage ban and joined briefs supporting transgender bathroom access in North Carolina.

When hurricane season and election season collide, disaster relief becomes a political hot potato.
The complex system of federal, state, and local coordination opens the door for misinformation and blame-shifting (In part, by Donald Trump who spread falsehoods about the federal government’s response to recent disasters).

Remember, the last debate, the lying, liar lied every 3.9 seconds. It was an avalanche of lies. The orange dictator wannabe told over 602 verified lies in 40 minutes. A literal firehose of falsehoods.
Every day we see more unprecedented lies about everything.
The convicted fraud and sexual abuser facing dozens of felonies in 3 states and federal jurisdictions; has half a billion dollars in federal judgments he has no way to pay; he will declare personal bankruptcy —face new criminal cases in several jurisdictions; and is suffering inexplicable daily mental lapses.
And he lies constantly. He is mentally and ethically unfit.

U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris warned Monday that former President Donald Trump was “unstable,” “unhinged” and out for “unchecked power” as she sent a jolt of urgency though her campaign with 21 days to go.
From CNN: "'Watch his rallies. Listen to his words. He tells us who he is, and he tells us what he would do if he is elected president,' Harris told a large crowd in Pennsylvania after a weekend when Trump’s authoritarian rhetoric reached chilling new levels and hinted at the extreme nature of his potential second term."

In Texas’ third-largest county, the far right’s vision for local governing has come to life.
@ProPublica and @texastribune report: "Tim O’Hare’s leadership in Tarrant County, Texas, gives a glimpse of far-right priorities: cutting programs for at-risk youth, targeting elections and stifling dissent. Home to 2.2 million people and the city of Fort Worth, [the county] is the most significant political battleground between Republicans and Democrats in Texas."
