Press: Shares an unverified NY Post

Intel: It’s Russian disinformation.

Press: Our bad! We didn’t know.

...

Press: Ooo now look at these new texts!
It’s entirely reasonable at this point to ask whether journalists actually care if they’re conduits for a foreign adversary interfering in our election. So long as it’s click worthy, it seems many don’t care.
Major news organizations failed their readers during the 2016 election. Yet, following these systemic failures, not a single outlet conducted an independent audit to assess what happened, nor publicly acknowledged their failures.
On election coverage, CBS is falling for the same trap it did four years ago mediamatters.org/cbs/election-c…

17M+ Americans have already voted.

Biden is banking a substantial 54-point lead among these early voters, as most Trump voters wait until Election Day.

This vote method gap is unprecedented. Image
This election is turning into a referendum on honesty and integrity.

In our poll, we asked voters what words come to mind when they think of Donald Trump and Joe Biden.

The top word for Trump: Liar
The top word for Biden: Honest Image

Oh my god — CNN just aired a recording of Melania Trump caught on tape saying “Give me a fucking break” in response to questions about children separated from their parents at the border.
Full Melania Trump video: “They said, ‘Oh what about the children that were separated?’ Give me a fucking break.”
Be best, huh @FLOTUS?

Fired up after that nightmare?

Chip in now and let's turn this night into a historic fundraiser for @JoeBiden.

It's time to bring it home. secure.actblue.com/donate/bidende…
Here’s an idea: let’s raise $5,000 for @JoeBiden by the end of tonight.

Already $1,500+ raised in 20 minutes!

Join me & chip in now. secure.actblue.com/donate/bidende…
Awesome! Over halfway to our goal! 💪

The debate was a mess, but made one thing clear: we need to dump Trump.

Chip in & help Biden make it a reality. secure.actblue.com/donate/bidende…

Joni Ernst told @DMRegister in 2018:

[Waiting until the election] is “precedent set. So come 2020, if there's an opening, I'm sure you'll remind me of that."

She now supports filling Ginsburg’s seat. Ernst lied. Her Senate seat is a tossup.
Now is a great time to chip in & help @GreenfieldIowa defeat Joni Ernst. secure.actblue.com/donate/greenfi…
Awesome stuff! We raised over $2,000 for @GreenfieldIowa off this tweet alone. Can we get to $4,000 to oust Joni Ernst?

This is, of course, untrue. But more perplexing, Trump repeatedly attacked Biden for wanting to shut down the economy. Pence is now saying Trump did exactly as Biden urged?
Put plainly: the Trump campaign continues to lack a coherent campaign message and, at the moment, seems to be taking credit for something they’ve repeatedly attacked Biden for urging.
This is called an incoherent message. ImageImage
