Before Trump's Ohio rally, he tweeted to tell people to vote Steve Stivers. Stivers isn't running. Trump deleted, posted a Vote Troy Balderson tweet.

Then, at the rally, he pretended his own error was a media error for which he was owed an apology. The crowd chanted CNN SUCKS.

@AndyRichter Hi! Usually enjoy your posts. Request: can we please not use pussy next time as a pejorative? I am certain we can find a better word. Please and thank you!

ok this is my new fav letter to the editor

[Heather W. @funnygirrl]

@elephantjournal This is the least empowering article on love I’ve read in a long time. The “it must be magic and he must long for me” message about relationships doesn’t allow for the reality and gorgeous messiness of being human.

[scott horsley @HorsleyScott]

This is just wrong. Farm income hit an all-time high in 2013. And the plunge in soybean prices this summer is a direct result of the president’s trade war.

[Amy Siskind @Amy_Siskind]

In the last 48 hours alone, 1) Trump’s Treasury Dept has changed rules on disclosing dark money donors to orgs like the NRA, 2) Trump’s FCC has changed position on Sinclair acquisition of Tribune AFTER Sinclair says it will launch new streaming app to compete with Fox News.

WTF: The Trump Administration is planning to eliminate a vast trove of medical guidelines on 7/16/18, that for nearly 20 years has been a critical resource for doctors, researchers and others in the medical community.

Not even an archived version of the site will remain. https://t.co/Tk5coWKmnR

Republicans taking more steps to destroy stable health care system. Pushing rates up. Insurance companies once again able to deny you coverage or charge you outrageous premiums because you have a pre-existing condition. Upcoming elections about this. Vote. https://t.co/ebBocs926p

This is so senseless. If you were hiking Quandary on Tuesday, please share any information that can help catch the person or persons responsible. https://t.co/1udWaHcXHW

[David Fahrenthold @Fahrenthold]

UPDATED; @realDonaldTrump's Mar-a-Lago Club is asking permission to hire *61* foreign workers, to serve as cooks and waiters this winter.
Says it can't find qualified American workers for these jobs (at least at the salary Trump is offering). https://t.co/D5QrdUPXzV

@bouldercounty Thx! Read @dailycamera article for more and pics of open drinking of hard alcohol in a city park. From Eben G Fine west to Canon Park was rough. @bouldercolorado can we all please partner to ensure we don’t have this again? Is this the message we want folks to have about Boulder?

[Heather W. @funnygirrl]

@bouldercounty conditions on Canyon heading East and West yesterday due to the huge creek party were dangerous. Traffic was backed up and intoxicated folks were getting into illegally parked cars, stopping traffic, and driving way. What’s the plan to tackle this?

[Boulder County Sheriff’s Office @BldrCOSheriff]

To be clear, immigrants, legal or not, are people who want to improve their lives. To refer to them as animals or insects is to foster hate. What’s happening in Washington and on our border is sad, wrong, and unamerican.

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

A person's dignity does not depend on them being a citizen, a migrant, or a refugee. Saving the life of someone fleeing war and poverty is an act of humanity. #WithRefugees @M_RSection

In any normal times, the story of the day would be a cabinet secretary fielding questions about his financial holdings, then immediately shorting the stock in question and profiting from the loss when the article came out https://t.co/8xQvwTr4Cz

[Josh Dawsey @jdawsey1]

Steve Wagner, a senior HHS official, says on an administration conference call this morning that the new policy is working and it's about deterrence. Kirstjen Nielsen, the DHS secretary, says it is not a policy, not new and not about deterrence.

[Chris Hayes @chrislhayes]

There is a very obvious throughline connecting the worst moments and policies of this administration, the travel ban, Charlottesville, Puerto Rico and family separation at the border.

[Ryan Lizza @RyanLizza]

Think about what it says about the information environment in America right now that in 48 hours Trump can convince his supporters that Trudeau is a backstabbing enemy and Kim is a heroic statesman.
