Kelly has repeatedly trashed Swift based on FACTUAL CLAIMS that are OBJECTIVELY FALSE
Follow this thread for the truth
🧵
2. On September 10, Taylor Swift endorsed the Harris/Walz ticket in an Instagram post. Swift said she "was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman’s right to her own body for decades."
Kelly was ENRAGED
@timwalz 3. @megynkelly has repeatedly claimed that a law signed by Walz in 2023 "take custody of the children from parents who don't want them to chop off their body parts and put them in Minnesota Court's custody so the body parts can be chopped off"
1. There are 49 days until Election Day & although the presidential race remains very close Trump has escalated his attacks on the legitimacy of the election
The difference is that this time Trump has the full support of tech billionaires who are amplifying his false claims
🧵
2. Yesterday, Trump said the USPS has admitted that it is incapable of handling election mail.
This is false.
The USPS says its prepared to handle mail-in ballots.
The National Association of Secretaries of State says Postmaster DeJoy (appointed by Trump) should ensure that USPS staff are appropriately trained.
Election mail is supposed to be prioritized.
3. On 9/7, Trump pledged to jail Democrats who repeat "the rampant Cheating and Skullduggery that has taken place by the Democrats in the 2020 Presidential Election"
In nearly 4 years since the 2020 election, Trump has produced no evidence of cheating
3. Several months before the 2022 invasion, Putin published an essay called “On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians” in which he claims that Ukrainians are actually Russians. The Kremlin has maintained this narrative.
But this narrative is false. While Ukraine has been controlled by Russia at certain times, it has a history of its own dating back to the 9th century and has been independent since 1991. And although there are certain regions of Ukraine where Russian is spoken, Ukrainian is a distinct language and is highly favored as the country’s official language and the language of education.
1. Trump is not just running for president; he's also partnered with a professional pickup artist to launch a new crypto company
THE COMPANY IS STRUCTURED SO IF TRUMP WINS IN NOVEMBER HE CAN USE THE POWER OF THE PRESIDENCY TO GENERATE MILLIONS IN PROFITS FOR HIMSELF AND HIS FAMILY
Follow this thread for details on how the scheme works
🧵
2. Trump is the "Chief Crypto Advocate" for the nascent venture, World Liberty Financial.
Donald Jr. and Eric are the company's "Web 3 Ambassadors."
18-year-old Barron Trump is World Liberty Financial's official "DeFi Visionary."
3. Trump has already blurred the line between World Liberty Financial and his presidential campaign. In an August 29 post on X, Trump used an excerpt from his July campaign speech at the BitCoin Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, to promote the new company. In the speech, Trump pledged to make the United States "the crypto capital of the planet."
1. For weeks, major media orgs — including @washingtonpost, @politico, and @nytimes — have possessed internal Trump campaign docs
But all 3 outlets have declined to publish or excerpt them
It's a radically different decision than the same pubs made when Clinton's campaign was hacked in 2016
🧵
2. @washingtonpost Executive Editor Matt Murray defended the decision: "The news organizations in this case took a deep breath and paused, and thought about who was likely to be leaking the documents, what the motives of the hacker might have been, and whether this was truly newsworthy"
@washingtonpost 3. But when hackers connected to the Russian government leaked internal emails from Clinton campaign officials and the DNC, @washingtonpost published dozens of stories based on the hack
1. Tens of thousands of Florida students are getting NO SEX EDUCATION at all, thanks to the policies and incompetence of the DeSantis administration
Popular Information has obtained internal documents that reveal the disfunction

🧵
2. In May 2023, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis (R) signed Florida House Bill 1069, a law that requires sex education classes in the state to conform to right-wing ideology.
Specifically, the law requires all sex education classes to teach students that sex is binary, "either male or female," even though that is inaccurate.
Schools also must "teach abstinence from sexual activity outside of marriage as the expected standard for all school-age students" and "the benefits of monogamous heterosexual marriage."
3. To enforce these new rules, HB 1069 also requires "all materials used to teach reproductive health" to be approved in advance by the Florida Department of Education (FDE).
