It's all about the Venmo payment timing, take a pic, get paid, job done, no reason to stick around. I read somewhere that the place he held the rally only had a 5,000 person capacity. Criminal trump pays for the place, pays for the thousands of people trying to fill it up, and we pay the 10's of $millions for his security, money laundering, tax dodging, all his corruption, and the people's court system. Something terribly wrong with this picture.
4,000 people left Trump's North Carolina rally after ten minutes when their attendance payment arrived in their Venmo account.
A reporter asked many why they were leaving, they all said they were paid to attend the rally if they uploaded a photo after the 10 minute mark to their account at Trump's payment website.
Here they are leaving on their buses! They are bussing them in!pic.twitter.com/DxaEUn355y

Sen. Whitehouse Opens Bombshell Budget Hearing on Big Oil Avoiding Accountability for Climate Change
REMINDER: President Biden Is Combating Fentanyl Trafficking After Trump Ignored the Opioid Crisis
https://democrats.org/news/reminder-president-biden-is-combating-fentanyl-trafficking-after-trump-ignored-the-opioid-crisis/
In response to President Biden combating the flow of fentanyl into the United States, DNC National Press Secretary Sarafina Chitika released the following statement:
“After Donald Trump ignored the fentanyl crisis for four years, President Biden is working with our international partners, investing in law enforcement, and coordinating with state and local partners to combat fentanyl trafficking and save American lives. While President Trump and MAGA Republicans push cruel and inhumane immigration policies that would do nothing to address the fentanyl crisis, the Biden-Harris administration has delivered real progress, seizing more fentanyl than any other administration in history.”
NEW: President Biden held a meeting at the White House this morning to accelerate efforts to counter the flow of fentanyl into the country.
Bloomberg: “President Joe Biden pressed lawmakers to approve more funding and tighten laws to help block fentanyl trafficking, following his agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping to crack down on the deadly drug. Biden on Tuesday heralded an agreement with Xi, who pledged during their summit last week to carry out a law-enforcement campaign against Chinese fentanyl components, and his talks with Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador on stopping the flow of drugs across the southwest border.”
President Biden last week announced a new agreement with China to crack down on illicit fentanyl production.
Axios: “Biden and Xi agree to curb fentanyl production”
“President Biden said Chinese leader Xi Jinping on Wednesday agreed to take steps to crack down on companies in China that produce chemical precursors for fentanyl. … The Biden-Xi deal to crack down on a major source of fentanyl to the U.S. could be a domestic win for the Biden administration — both politically and in terms of its effect on the country’s fentanyl supply. Biden said in a press conference after Wednesday’s meeting that the agreement is going to save lives.”
President Biden’s proposed 2024 budget made major investments in border security, and he signed into law a major funding boost for border patrol last year.
USA Today: “In his proposed 2024 budget, the president would allocate nearly $25 billion to U.S. Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement. It’s a nearly $800 million increase over the 2023 enacted level.”
Government Executive: “Border Patrol is in line for a whopping 17% funding boost, which includes the funding for 300 new Border Patrol agents that the Biden administration had repeatedly stressed as necessary to handle the record-high numbers of migrants crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.”
The Biden-Harris administration launched a whole-of-government coordinated response to combat overdose deaths from fentanyl combined with xylazine.
Spectrum News: “The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy earlier this week unveiled a plan to combat the growing threat of overdose deaths from fentanyl combined with xylazine, a powerful animal sedative. … The White House in April officially designated the combination an ‘emerging threat’ to the United States. The whole-of-government response announced earlier this week builds on that declaration in an effort to combat the scourge.”
Fact checkers have repeatedly debunked Republicans’ lies blaming President Biden’s border policies for fentanyl trafficking and overdose deaths.
PolitiFact: “Are Biden’s border policies to blame for fentanyl deaths? Experts say no”
FactCheck.org: “More important, if stopping large amounts of fentanyl from being distributed to Americans is indicative of a ‘crisis’ at the southwest border, as those tweets imply, it’s a problem that Biden largely inherited from his predecessor.”
Fentanyl trafficking at the border began to spike under the Trump administration.
FactCheck.org: “The amount seized accelerated dramatically toward the end of fiscal 2020, while Trump was still president, when there was a 190% increase from 233 pounds seized in May to 676 pounds in June. May 2020 was the last time there were fewer than 600 pounds of fentanyl seized at the southwest border in a single month, and the largest monthly haul to date was 1,171 pounds in October 2020, the start of the 2021 fiscal year.”
FactCheck.org: “But the fiscal year comparisons obscure the fact that the steep rise in seized fentanyl started in mid-2020 under Trump, as the chart above illustrates. In fact, 36% of the fentanyl seized in FY 2021 was during the first four months of that fiscal year, when Trump was president for a full 111 of those 123 days.”
Synthetic opioid overdose deaths soared during Trump’s four years in office.
Forbes: “Overdose deaths from synthetic opioids soared during the time Donald Trump was president, raising questions about efforts to blame the Biden administration’s border policies for drug overdose deaths.”
Forbes: “Between 2016 and 2020, annual drug overdose deaths from synthetic opioids (excluding methadone) increased by 192% (from 19,500 to 56,894). … The average annual growth rate of drug overdose deaths from synthetic opioids was 31% while Donald Trump was president. Between 2019 and 2020, the last year of Trump’s presidency, the increase in drug overdose deaths from synthetic opioids was 55%.”
Trump’s proposed budgets would have slashed funding for substance abuse treatment and the office that coordinates White House drug policies.
Washington Post: “Every year since taking office, President Trump has proposed gutting the office charged with coordinating the response to the nation’s opioid crisis. His 2020 budget is no different: it seeks to slash the Office of National Drug Control Policy by 95 percent — even as a record high of 70,000 people died from overdoses in 2017.”
Politico: “[Trump’s FY18 budget proposal] would target the federal mental health and substance abuse treatment agency with nearly $400 million in cuts while keeping funding for many initiatives aimed at fighting the opioid epidemic flat. The budget for the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration cuts the Community Mental Health Services block grant by $116 million and reduces other state mental health grants by $136 million. Substance abuse treatment grants for states would fall by $73 million and public awareness programs would decline by $74 million.”
Cuts proposed by congressional MAGA Republicans could lead to thousands fewer border patrol agents and thousands more pounds of fentanyl and other drugs being allowed across our border.
The Hill: “Bates claimed that the bill, if enacted, would result in the termination of 2,000 Border Patrol agents, slash the budget of the Drug Enforcement Agency and allow 150,000 pounds of cocaine, 900 pounds of fentanyl, 2,000 pounds of heroin and 17,000 pounds of methamphetamine into the U.S.”
Government Executive: “In response to inquiries from congressional Democrats, agency officials have suggested the cuts included in the Limit, Save and Grow Act would force layoffs, furloughs, hiring freezes or other means to trim workforce costs. Customs and Border Protection said, for example, it would be forced to shed 2,400 front-line agents and officers, while the Justice Department said the FBI would lose 11,000 agents.”
MAGA Republicans in the House this summer brought America to the brink of shutdown while doing nothing to pass the nearly $800 million in additional funding the White House requested to fight fentanyl trafficking and drug addiction and overdoses.
NBC News: “The White House on Thursday asked Congress for nearly $800 million in additional funding to fight drug addiction and overdoses, which killed more than 100,000 people in the U.S. last year, according to provisional data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
NBC News: “White House presses for money to prevent opioid deaths as congressional dysfunction stymies aid”

Entire Earth vibrated for nine days after climate-triggered mega-tsunami
Landslide in Greenland caused unprecedented seismic event that shows impact of global heating, say scientists
https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2024/sep/12/entire-earth-vibrated-climate-triggered-mega-tsunami
A landslide and mega-tsunami in Greenland in September 2023, triggered by the climate crisis, caused the entire Earth to vibrate for nine days, a scientific investigation has found.
The seismic event was detected by earthquake sensors around the world but was so completely unprecedented that the researchers initially had no idea what had caused it. Having now solved the mystery, the scientists said it showed how global heating was already having planetary-scale impacts and that major landslides were possible in places previously believed to be stable as temperatures rapidly rose.
The collapse of a 1,200-metre-high mountain peak into the remote Dickson fjord happened on 16 September 2023 after the melting glacier below was no longer able to hold up the rock face. It triggered an initial wave 200 metres high and the subsequent sloshing of water back and forth in the twisty fjord sent seismic waves through the planet for more than a week...............................................................

Woman Behind Springfield Haitian Immigrants 'Eating Pets' Rumor Speaks Out
https://www.newsweek.com/springfield-woman-erika-lee-haitians-eating-pets-rumor-speaks-out-1953851

Trump Promises Mass Deportations Will Begin In Springfield And Aurora
By Gabe Whisnant
Deputy Weekend Editor
Erika Lee, a woman from Springfield, Ohio, who initially made a Facebook post alleging that local Haitian immigrants were "eating pets," leading to significant national attention on the small city, has confessed she had no direct evidence supporting such a claim.
Amid the 2024 presidential election where immigration is a hot topic issue, city officials have consistently debunked these rumors, but the claims gained even more prominence when former President Donald Trump, the GOP presidential nominee, repeated them during the televised presidential debate on Tuesday night.
"In Springfield, they're eating the dogs—the people that came in," Trump claimed about Haitian immigrants. "They're eating the cats. They're eating the pets of the people that live there, and this is what's happening in our country, and it's a shame."
While Springfield officials and community leaders have sought to dispel these claims, tensions have run high and bomb threats were made on Thursday and Friday, leading to the closures of schools and municipal buildings.
"It just exploded into something I didn't mean to happen," Lee told NBC News on Friday.
Lee said the incident has left her ridden with guilt and anxiety due to the controversy it generated. Her post detailed the disappearance of a neighbor's cat and included her neighbor's suspicions that their Haitian residents were involved in the incident.
According to NewsGuard, an organization dedicated to combating internet misinformation, Lee was one of the first to spread the baseless rumor on social media, the screenshots of which were widely shared. The neighbor, identified as Kimberly Newton, reportedly got the information about the alleged incident from a third party, as per NewsGuard's findings and reported by NBC News.
Lee told NBC News that she never imagined her post would become part of the national conversation, while also spreading conspiracy theories and hate.
"I'm not a racist," she said, adding that her daughter is half Black and she herself is mixed race and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. "Everybody seems to be turning it into that, and that was not my intent."

'Unfit to lead': Barron Trump's new NYU professors publicly condemned his father

September 10, 2024 6:41AM ET
A slate of Barron Trump's new business school professors at New York University warned the nation four years ago that then-President Donald Trump was "unfit to lead."
Fourteen administrators from the NYU Stern School of Business, where 18-year-old Barron matriculated this fall, added their names to an October 2020 open letter signed by more than 1,000 professors from elite institutions across the nation.
"It is time for business leaders to declare publicly what so many have been saying privately: that President Trump is unfit to lead and is a threat to the Republic" wrote Harvard University professor Professor Deepak Malhotra in the letter which was then signed by the other academics.
ALSO READ: How the press corps is Trump’s assisted living program
"And it is time for journalists to start asking America’s CEOs whether they believe four more years of Trump would be good for the country."
Among the signatories is Interim dean J. P. Eggers, whom the Daily Beast reported Barron met this week. The Beast also reports that more than half of the administrators who signed the letter remain at the school.
Barron Trump enters college as his father remounts a bid for the White House that, four years ago and before the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riots, professors nationwide warned could be catastrophic to the nation.
"Demanding a peaceful transfer of power ought not to reveal your political affiliation," the professors said in the letter. "And safeguarding our laws, institutions, and norms is important to both Republicans and Democrats."

Right-winger Leonard Leo pledges $1B to 'crush liberal dominance'
https://www.rawstory.com/marble-freedom-trust-2669156671/
September 10, 2024 6:47AM ET
Conservative activist Leonard Leo is pledging a major financial investment to "crush liberal dominance" he perceivers in corporate America and the media.
The former executive vice president of the Federalist Society and architect of the right-wing U.S. Supreme Court assembled by Donald Trump told the Financial Times in a rare interview that his nonprofit Marble Freedom Trust intended to turn its attention – and considerable war chest – to the private sector.
“We need to crush liberal dominance where it’s most insidious, so we’ll direct resources to build talent and capital formation pipelines in the areas of news and entertainment, where leftwing extremism is most evident,” Leo told the publication.
“Expect us to increase support for organizations that call out companies and financial institutions that bend to the woke mind virus spread by regulators and NGOs, so that they have to pay a price for putting extreme leftwing ideology ahead of consumers."
Leo has worked to shape the judiciary for more than two decades with the Federalist Society and played a crucial role in getting three ultra-conservative justices appointed to the Supreme Court during Trump's presidency, but he stepped back from daily operations of that organization after the 2020 election.
He founded Marble the following year with a $1.6 billion donation from electronic device manufacturing mogul Barre Seid, and public financial disclosures show he's spent about $600 million in that organization's first three years.
Leo said his goal was to find “very leveraged, impactful ways of reintroducing limited constitutional government and a civil society premised on freedom and personal responsibility and the virtues of western civilization."
His $1 billion pledge will go toward opposing diversity, equity and inclusion policies, climate and social concerns in the investment sector and the supposed “debanking” of politically conservative customers, and he intends to invest in an as yet undetermined local media company in the next 12 months.
“The political environment is more topsy-turvy and more uncertain than it’s ever been in my lifetime,” said Leo. “Political investing is not as good a bet as it used to be.”

“Heritage Foundation Spreads Deceptive Videos About Noncitizen Voters”
September 7, 2024, 9:47 amfraudulent fraud squadRick Hasen
https://electionlawblog.org/?p=145575
NYT:
In July, two men went door to door at a sprawling apartment complex in Norcross, Ga., an Atlanta suburb that is a hub for the region’s fast-growing Latino population, asking residents if they were U.S. citizens and whether they were registered to vote.
Speaking in Spanish, often peeking from behind half-closed doors, seven people told the men that they were not citizens but that they were registered to vote.
Although the two men claimed to represent a company helping Latinos navigate the election system, they were actually working with the Heritage Foundation and carrying a hidden camera. Days later, the conservative think tank posted a video on the social media platform X containing some of the footage the men had captured, calling it “staggering” evidence that 14 percent of noncitizens in Georgia — which Heritage said extrapolated to more than 47,000 people — were registered to vote.
“Based on our findings,” the video concluded, “the integrity of the 2024 election is in great jeopardy.”
The video was reposted by Elon Musk, X’s owner, who called it “extremely disturbing.” It quickly went viral.
But under scrutiny, those claims do not hold up. Three of the seven people Heritage filmed later said they had misspoken. State investigators found no evidence that any of the seven people on the tape had ever registered to vote. A spokesman for Georgia’s secretary of state, Brad Raffensperger, a Republican, called the video “a stunt.”
It was one of several misleading videos that the Heritage Foundation has pumped into social media feeds this year. While the once-staid think tank has received attention recently for Project 2025, the right-wing blueprint for a future Trump administration that the group funded, it has also made its mark with an aggressive effort to shape public opinion, seeding falsehoods about the integrity of the 2024 election across social media and conservative news outlets.
At the center of that effort is the Oversight Project, an arm of Heritage that conducts what it describes as investigations into immigration policy, among other topics. Borrowing from covert tactics used by the group Project Veritas, the Oversight Project has published videos about the supposed threat of migrant voting in shelters on the Texas border, in New York City and in North Carolina.
The project says it is preparing to release investigations of other states, including what its executive director, Mike Howell, recently described in a livestream on X as “a pretty big thing” targeting voter registration at the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles.
“We view our role in this cause as breaking the bombshell news,” said Mr. Howell. The recording of the livestream appears to have been deleted after The New York Times contacted Heritage for this article, and the Oversight Project has so far not posted any videos about alleged noncitizen voting in Virginia.

Trump doesn't deny that he's capable of sexual assault, just that a woman who is now decades older (he misidentified a photo of her at the time during his deposition as his 2nd wife Marla Maples) wouldn't be his choice. That's exactly who Trump is. Women are just objects. https://t.co/tQ5p4QP4Ra

100 law enforcement officials endorse Harris

Just over 100 law enforcement officials endorsed Vice President Harris on Friday, ahead of former President Trump’s address to the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP).
In a letter signed by 101 law enforcement officials, the group declared that Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D) are “the only candidates we trust to keep our communities safe.”
The group cited Harris’s work as a prosecutor, district attorney, and attorney general, during which she took on issues ranging from child sexual assault to transnational crime organizations. It also noted that the Biden administration’s American Rescue Plan, which President Biden signed into law in 2021, included public safety investments for states to hire and retain officers.
It also cited Walz’s investment in law enforcement in Minnesota, including $300 million in public safety training and community engagement.
And the group argued that Trump “has repeatedly shown he does not respect law enforcement or the rule of law,” citing that the former president has said he would pardon those who stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, while police officers were injured during the riots.
“This November, Americans will choose between someone who spent her career enforcing our laws and someone who has been convicted of breaking them,” the group wrote.
Trump is set to speak to the FOP’s national board of trustees on Friday in Charlotte, N.C., Spectrum News 1 reported.
Officers who signed the letter for Harris came from Colorado, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, Texas, Illinois, Virginia and New York, among other states, and include ranks like sheriff, police chief, retired chief of police, retired detective, captain, state trooper and FBI special agent.
Former Capitol Police officer Harry Dunn, who unsuccessfully ran for Congress in Maryland in the Democratic primary, signed the letter.
Crime is a hot-button issue that Republicans ran on in 2022 and are using on the campaign trail in 2024, too. They are using crime in major blue cities as a talking point against Biden and Democrats.
Biden in March touted the decrease in crime in 2023, citing data from the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) that found the U.S. experienced 11 percent less crime in cities over 1 million people compared to 2022, 13 percent fewer murders overall and 6 percent less violent crime.
