1. The Trump campaign has accepted thousands of dollars from neo-Nazi leader Morris Gulett.

Gulett set up an outpost of the Aryan Nations in Louisiana and touted it as the "most-feared and revered white supremacist organization the world has ever known."

2. Gulett's website promoted white Anglo-Saxons as "the supreme ruling race." He said that he would celebrate Black History Month when "when every Negro becomes just that – history."

Now, the Trump campaign has accepted over $2K in donations from Gulett

3. Gullet is also virulently anti-Semitic, ending every sermon with a Nazi salute. His website asserted that "the Jew is the literal child of Satan and is the natural enemy of the White race, the Children of God."

4. The Trump campaign did not respond to a request for comment. But it is aware of Gulett and his background. In 2018, when Gulett had donated just $200, The Forward asked the Trump campaign to comment. That request was also ignored.

5. There are 2 months until the election and there will be an avalanche of horse race coverage about who is up and who is down.

I'll be focusing on digging up FACTS.

1. Facebook talks a lot about everything its doing to stop disinformation on COVID-19

But it doesn't appear to be working

Health disinformation gets massive distribution on Facebook, according to a new report, swamping authoritative sources

2. @Avaaz looked at the top 10 health disinformation websites, and compared them the top 10 websites of leading health authorities (CDC, WHO, etc)

The disinformation websites generated FOUR TIMES as many views

3. In the context of a pandemic, this kind of disinformation is particularly dangerous. An article by RFK Jr. falsely claiming Bill Gates was sneaking a "sterilization formula" into vaccines generated 3.6 million views.

1. In the 2016 election, there were 57.2 MILLION votes cast by mail.

Trump raised no objections.

Instead, he falsely claimed that 3 million undocumented immigrants voted.

Then Trump himself voted by mail in subsequent elections.

2. The first time Trump raised objections to mail in voting was THIS APRIL.

AFTER the pandemic made in-person voting potentially dangerous for many people

And AFTER his poll numbers started to sink due to his mishandling of the pandemic

3. Less than a month later, in MAY, the USPS Board of Governors installed Louis DeJoy, a GOP fundraiser and political operative, as Postmaster General

DeJoy has donated "more than $650,000 to the Trump Victory Fund and more than $1 million to the RNC"

What is Congress doing?

Both the Senate AND House have recessed until September.

1K+ Americans are dying every day of COVID

Tens of millions are unemployed

Kids cannot safely return to school

The Postal Service is under attack

Why are they taking vacation?
I understand that Mitch McConnell may be conspiring with Trump to undermine the Postal Service.

But why is the House doing this?

Why aren't they holding hearings on the multiple crises afflicting this country?
Normally, before an election, members of Congress would be eager to return to their districts to campaign.

But you can't even really campaign in person!

You can do Zoom events from anywhere!
