Good morning from the Trump court, where I’ll be spending the day outside! It’s cool but not cold, and the sun is out. 🥰

Threading updates here. Unlike last two weeks, the street directly next to one entrance is shut. Hundreds and hundreds of cameras and reporters here

Greetings from Manhattan Criminal Court where a Trump indictment may come any day now.

Not sure what to expect but I’ll be threading any updates here.

Lots of police and media, the latter of who are swarming a group of anti-Trump demonstrators. Their chant goes something like this:

“Falsifying business records! Guilty guilty guilty!

Money laundering! Guilty guilty guilty!

Tax evasion! Guilty guilty guilty!

Election fraud! Guilty guilty guilty!”

Bit of drama at the Nikolas Cruz trial just now: an old friend of his adoptive mom said she was surprised to learn Cruz was living with another woman after she passed bc Cruz's mom told her years before that woman's son had sodomized him. Hearsay objection. Court in sidebar. Aaaand they just went to lunch. Guess we'll find out what happens when court resumes at 1.30ET

Truly deranged stuff at this Trump camp press conference in NV. Matt Schlapp cites an unnamed "whistleblower" in a counting center who saw a Biden/Harris van pull up, unload ballots, open them with a letter opener, swap votes, and replace them — all apparently in plain sight! 🤡 No evidence for this claim, remind you! Just a guy somewhere! Ok!

NZ PM just now: "Our gun laws will change." NZ PM Ardern, citing the fact that the shooter had a license for his weapons, says "that will give you an indication of why we need to change our gun laws."

ok i finally watched this and i am floored at the bullshit that Ellen let him spout uninterrupted. He's concocting an alternative history here and Ellen didn't challenge him on the facts one bit. let me explain... Hart: "My first thought was I'm going to ignore it. I'm going to ignore it, because it is 10 years old. And this is stuff that I have addressed. I've talked about this."

This implies you previously apologized for this. That's not true.

The two kids had names. They were Jakelin Caal and Felipe Gomez Alonzo. They were 7 and 8. Trump is also wrong here. The father of the "young girl," whose name was Jakelin Caal, has vehemently denied that he didn't give his daughter water. He says he made sure she was fed & had water.

[2016 2nd debate] Clinton lays out how Wikileaks and the Russians are trying to help Trump "maybe because he has praised Putin ... maybe because he wants to do business in Moscow."

Trump says he doesn't deal in Russia & has no businesses there. Clinton: "[The Russians are trying] to influence the election for Donald Trump. Now, maybe bc he has praised Putin, maybe bc he says he agrees with a lot of what Putin wants to do, maybe bc he wants to do business in Moscow, I don't know the reasons. But we deserve answers"

The Onion gets a lot of well deserved credit for its first post-9/11 issue. I think a lot in particular about the article "Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake" which was just so beautiful in the way it captured the mood. local.theonion.com/not-knowing-wh…Image There were so many quiet, small moments in "Not Knowing What Else To Do, Woman Bakes American-Flag Cake" that still feel so raw & real all these years later.

holy shit I can't overstate how big this is. Trudeau JUST got in front of the cameras to announce they'd managed to show some unity at G7 and all sign on to a statement.

Then Trump, seemingly mad at Canada's retaliatory tariffs, has blown it to bits via Twitter. buzzfeed.com/albertonardell…

Trump "congratulates" foreign leaders for taking advantage of the US on trade, saying he blames his predecessors. Arguing for Russia to re-join the G7, Trump says, "Something happened a while ago where Russia is no longer in. I think it would be an asset to have Russia back in."

(The "something" was Russia invading Ukraine and annexing Crimea).
