Hello twitterverse! PolitiFact is covering #TrumpRallyOrlando tonight, live fact-checking @realDonaldTrump's campaign launch from Amway Center. Stay tuned:
The last time we fact-checked an event like this was Trump's first rally since being cleared of criminally conspiring in Russia’s 2016 election interference in Grand Rapids, Michigan. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
We also live fact-checked Trump's 2-hour speech at CPAC in April. He stayed on relatively firm ground when talking about the economy. But on immigration, abortion and the Democrats’ Green New Deal, he took liberties with the facts. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
.@VP Mike Pence is opening the #TrumpRallyOrlando talking about President @realDonaldTrump's promises. Here's where PolitiFact is tracking them on the Trump-O-Meter: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
"No collusion and no obstruction," #TrumpRallyOrlando. The Special Counsel report specifically said, "While this report does not conclude that the President committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him." politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Whether Russian efforts made a difference in the election is unproven, but the Russians clearly wanted Trump elected. The Mueller report, along with every national intelligence agency, found a singular focus by the Russians. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
“We’ll have over 400 miles built by the end of the year.” Trump has said this before: 400 miles of wall are coming soon. But most projects replace existing barriers: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said his administration created the biggest tax cut in history. — Nope, four were larger: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
On black unemployment numbers: “The lowest unemployment numbers in the history of our country.” He’s right about the low rates. But his statement that the Democrats "did nothing" is an exaggeration. Under Obama, black unemployment fell by more than half. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
We fact-checked the hotly contested 2018 midterm FL gubernatorial and senate races and subsequent recounts:

politifact.com/florida/electi…
politifact.com/florida/articl…
Departing @PressSec Sarah Huckabee Sanders has taken the stage at #TrumpRallyOrlando. After she gave false information during a press briefing, some were calling for her removal. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Fact-checking @realDonaldTrump's claim on the lowest-ever unemployment rate among African Americans, Hispanics and Asian Americans along with women: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
“Wages are rising at the fastest rate in many decades. And rising the fastest for the lowest paid workers.” We rated a similar claim Mostly False: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said his admin has reduced the price of prescription drugs. A similar claim takes a number from a couple of months during the year to paint a misleading picture. In 2018, while drug prices didn’t go up as much as in the past, they continued to rise. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump is wrong that Veteran's Choice health plan wasn’t passed until he came into office.
Congress passed a new version of a Choice program in June 2018 — but the program itself has been around since 2014, during Obama's presidency: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said “The Democratic agenda of open borders is morally reprehensible.” He said similar statements in the past:
politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
"We wil always protect ptients with pre existing conditions," @realDonaldTrump said at #TrumpRallyOrlando. The GOP protections are not as iron clad as those in the ACA. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Fact-checking Donald Trump's tweet saying Democrats 'don’t mind executing' babies after birth: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said 120 Democrats in Congress have signed on to Medicare For All. "They want to end Medicare as we know it and terminate private insurance." There's an element of truth there. See our explanation of #M4A. politifact.com/truth-o-meter/… #TrumpRallyOrlando

President @realDonaldTrump told @GStephanopoulos he’ll win re-election based on safety, security and a great economy. Here are some of his campaign promises that have to do with those issues that might come up during #TrumpRallyOrlando:
❗️Renegotiating the Iran deal: In 2016, candidate @realDonaldTrump said he would create a “totally different deal” from the Obama-era nuclear pact. We rate that promise Stalled: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said the deal handed the regime "many billions of dollars, some of it in actual cash. A great embarrassment to me as a citizen and to all citizens of the United States." He also said Iran got $150 billion and $1.8 billion in cash. That's Half True: politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…

THREAD: We're fact-checking President @realDonaldTrump's speech tonight in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Trump is expected to cover AG Barr's summary of the Mueller report, increased apprehensions on the border and auto manufacturing #TrumpGrandRapids #GrandRapidsRally
Trump said AG Barr's summary of the Mueller report amounted to a "complete exoneration." That's wrong.

politifact.com/truth-o-meter/…
Trump said the Russia investigation was launched by those who lost the election. That's wrong.

July 2016: FBI opens an investigation into links between the Trump campaign and the Russian government.

Nov. 8, 2016: Trump is elected president.

Here's what Sen @BernieSanders said about health care in Canada, which has a single-payer system: "In Canada, for a number of decades, they have provided quality care to all people without out-of-pocket expenses. You go in for cancer therapy, you don't take out your wallet."
@BernieSanders As long as the care comes from a doctor or at a hospital, the Canadian system covers the full cost. But the country’s public insurance doesn’t automatically pay for all services, most significantly, prescription drugs, including drugs needed to fight cancer.
@BernieSanders Out-of-pocket spending is about 15 percent of all Canadian health care expenditures, and researchers said prescription drugs likely represented the largest share of that.

We rate this statement Half True. bit.ly/2NDKxnz

Official Campaign Kickoff Edition: June 19, 2019

On June 18, 2019 we saw the official kickoff to @realDonaldTrump campaign for a 2nd term as President Of the United States Of America in Orlando Florida. #MAGA2020Orlando #KAGA2020 #KAGARally

@POTUS
Before we begin on yesterday’s event I must touch on my previous thread being deleted once again. This is not the first nor probably the last time this will occur by @Twitter however this needs to stop. Cencerorship is unacceptable on this or any other platform.

@DevinNunes
I’ve been here for 10 years and I’ve seen the censorship the whole time. Remember #ArabSpring #StandingRock #OccupyWallSt? Now you can add #QAnon & Conservatives to the growing list. Time for @POTUS and others like @DevinNunes to do something about this.

Just in time for lunch... Happy Friday, #twitterverse! One more lesson before school lets out for summer: James Beard-nominated chef Ronnie Killen (@ze1chef) from @killensbbq has the *most necessary* tips for the perfect brisket. Stay tuned… #Houston
TIP #1 from @ze1chef: “Source good product, don’t mess it up.” Simply, great barbecue begins with sourcing great cuts of meat. Worry less about marbling and instead seek out meat with a light pink hue, which means the cattle ate quality feed, which will yield a tastier result.
TIP #2 from @ze1chef: A thick fat cap will provide big flavor, but pros know to trim brisket a bit to create a streamlined, aerodynamic shape. This ensures that smoke will waft evenly over the meat and no parts become overly smoky. #BBQ

#kiribaku | Aftermath of a Sex Pollen Night

When Eijirou wakes up, he's not in his bed.
The pillow is too hard for his tastes, the posters on the walls are all wrong and the sheets smell overwhelmingly like...
Bakugou.
NOTES:
- it's a #NSFW thread, of course
- kiribakus are in their third year of UA
- there's angst
- I hc Kiri as gay and Baku in the demi spectrum
- POV alternating
- to comment: quote retweet, please!
- sorry for the potential eng mistakes 🙏

I have reached a whole new level of #PISSEDOFF.

I didnt think such a #dark and #scary state, or level, could be reached. It may top 12-14-17's causation. It's. That. Bad. So, I've prepared a statement...

docs.google.com/document/d/1_J…

#PascoSheriff #HaveYouAllNoShame @CigarCityBeer
Dear @FBI,
I must implore you ask your colleauges in @FBITampa to help research this new level of #PISSEDOFFNESS. As locals, they may offer a special indepth knowledge of this new level I have reached. This is not fair & law enforcement must #investigate. No one deserves this.
This is my #apogee of #Pissedoffness.
If #motherfuckers & #tears werent a noticable level.
If #HUSH or #INTIMIDATION tactics being deployed didnt strike a chord.
If #EVIDENCE, PROOF, or 30k Bonds didnt #WOW YOU.
If posting mom with no shred of investigatable value wasnt enough...

#Khashoggi Case Thread: I am going to ‘pin’ this post to use it as an ‘Info Thread’ on the #Khashoggi Case. I am in #Turkey. I’ve been following the case closely and with access to sources & experts here. This is a very ‘sensitive’ criminal case due to ‘Diplomatic Booby Traps’!!!
The Evidence Obtained Outside Cameras will not show any evidence of ‘tempering’ but other than license plates of dozens of diplomatic cars (Many with tinted windows-large trunks) with related time stamp, drivers Info, model/year: Nothing.
#Turkish Intel-Investigative Bodies also have the list of all Diplomatic & Private Saudi & “other significant’ Planes in #Turkey for the period of ‘interest.’ Many of the Target airports have their own security cameras & related evidence.

1/
So, Dimitri Simes is the President of The Center for the National Interest (formerly known as The Nixon Center) and has been since the group was founded in 1994.

This event in April 2016 was at the Mayflower Hotel. cc @LincolnsBible @ericgarland
2/ This event:

"Attorney General Jeff Sessions appeared to waver when asked by the Senate Intelligence Committee on Tuesday if he met privately with Russian ambassador Sergey Kislyak during an event at the Mayflower Hotel last year."

3/ Remember this too? Dimitri Simes was briefing Dole on Gorbachev the same year Trump first visited Russia (1987).
