It’s been claimed that voting by mail leads to massive corruption and fraud. But what are the facts?

This was the best press conference of either of Trump’s terms. Change my mind.

@HQNewsNow This should be enough to tank his chances for election. He’s so out of touch.

Trump lies about EVERYTHING.

On Trump’s latest 9/11 story:
- He was miles away from the World Trade Center on 9/11, at Trump Tower
- There’s no evidence he was whisked out of any building; in 2016 he claimed he was “not so far” from a building thought to be unstable, didn't hint he was inside
- There’s no public evidence he organized a Ground Zero rescue crew, let alone the 100-strong crew he has previously claimed
- Rescue workers repeatedly did run away from the building he was referring to, One Liberty Plaza, over collapse fears that proved unfounded. Trump discussed these rushes in one Sept. 13, 2001 interview but didn’t say he was personally swept up in one, though it’s theoretically possible
- One Liberty Plaza does not “still creak.” It was closed for less than two months and has been functioning for nearly 25 years now

"However, new Center for American Progress analysis finds no evidence that National Guard deployments have reduced violent crime. Moreover, if these deployments are extended and continue through the end of 2026, they could cost American taxpayers more than $1.7 billion."

She “declined?” “Declined”? You can’t just decline to get a security clearance. You either get one or you don’t have a job. So much dysfunction in this White House. When will the GOP have had enough? Why risk the country for this? https://t.co/X0unu3P0FX

The difference between the Vietnam War and the Iran War is that Trump had a plan to get out of Vietnam.

Never forget that RFK Jr. testified in his divorce proceedings that he couldn’t afford alimony because he was so brain damaged he couldn’t hold a job.

Anyway, now he’s the Secretary of Health and Human Services.

Many of you are asking how you can help me.

My only ask is this: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. https://t.co/7W0yoPHmq2

Fact check on some of President Trump's comments at his Cabinet meeting:

- On the cyberattacks against local water systems, there’s absolutely zero basis for Trump’s bizarre assertion that Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz was “behind it.” Trump made no mention of the governors of the six other states the FBI says have been targeted this week. CNN reports that US and state officials consider Iran a suspect in the attacks.

- Trump said Iran still has “some” missiles and “some” drones but then said a bit later, again, that “everything is all gone,” which he had implicitly fact-checked himself with his acknowledgment that not everything is all gone...

- Trump said he’s “ended eight wars.” He simply hasn’t; his list is wildly inflated; see my previous tweet.

- Trump said, “We're building more factories and plants in this country than we've ever built before.” The White House could not identify any source for this claim when I inquired this week. Federal figures show that spending on manufacturing construction has declined month after month this Trump term after a spike that occurred during most of the Biden presidency.

- Trump said, "When we took office, we inherited a total catastrophe. The last administration created the worst inflation in 48 years.” The inflation rate did hit a 40-year (not 48-year) high under Biden, 9.1%…but that was in June 2022, two-and-a-half years before Trump returned to office, when he inherited a rate of 3.0%, which was lower than the 3.5% rate of this June.

- Trump said, "This month, it was announced that inflation is dropping at the fastest rate in more than six years.” *Did* drop last month, true, but not “is dropping” now; the steep decline of June was largely because gas prices fell sharply amid the ceasefire with Iran. In July, gas prices have jumped back up.

- Trump said, as usual, that Biden let in “25 million” migrants, a massive exaggeration even wilder than the previous “21 million” figure he has further inflated without explanation; he also said, as usual, that Biden let in 11,888 murderers, a gross distortion of federal data on people who entered over the course of decades including Trump’s own first administration.
