Push Notification

Former President Donald Trump is pushing a new narrative that the Biden administration has falsified job numbers and was "caught" in the act — something the former president proclaimed was a "massive scandal" on Truth Social and repeated at his rally in North Carolina on Wednesday.

But his claims are completely false, Philip Bump wrote for The Washington Post. And they're based on a fundamental misunderstanding of how the Bureau of Labor Statistics compiles job numbers.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) made news this month when he stopped a huge rally when an attendee fell ill. From the podium, he asked other rallygoers to pass bottles of water to the individuals who were bringing in medical care.

Out of concern for other rally attendees, Walz asked a staffer to pass out water to anyone in the packed crowd who might need it.

Former President Donald Trump attacked the Democratic National Convention at a joint rally in North Carolina on Wednesday alongside his running mate, Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH).

This comes as the ratings for the Democratic convention in Chicago show that it is pulling higher viewership than the RNC in Milwaukee last month.

Former President Donald Trump's allies have been lobbing attacks at Gov. Tim Walz's military service record, despite the fact that Walz served 24 years in the Army National Guard, while Trump has been accused of dodging the draft during the Vietnam War.

Speaking to CNN's Brianna Keilar on Wednesday, Republican campaign surrogate Rep. Mike Waltz (FL) defended the attacks on Walz's record by alleging that the Minnesota governor deliberately exaggerated his achievements during his decades of service.

Donald Trump's campaign was sent scrambling Wednesday after a group of Republican lawmakers accused Gov. Tim Walz of stolen valor then faced the same accusation from some of their fellow veterans.

Team Trump was forced to retract a letter, purporting to come from dozens of Republicans who described themselves as retired from military service, after the progressive advocacy group Vote Vets looked at their service records and debunked the claim.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump complained about former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama a day after the couple spoke about him at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

During a campaign speech in North Carolina on Wednesday, Trump went off-topic while talking about President Joe Biden's withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Former President Donald Trump may have called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss a potential ceasefire deal with Hamas that President Joe Biden's administration is currently negotiating. Now, experts are saying Trump may have committed a felony.

Newsweek reported that two anonymous "U.S. sources who were briefed on the call" confirmed to Axios that Trump spoke with Netanyahu. And according to the New Republic and PBS, the former president reportedly urged Netanyahu to reject the deal currently on the table.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell was met with hostility this week when he tried to sell his sleep products to pro-Palestinian protesters at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

While recording an interview with his Frank Speech network amid protesters in Chicago, Lindell was heckled by demonstrators on Tuesday.

A former grocery executive told a progressive media outlet in a video released Tuesday that "people f------ need to go to jail" over a long-running scheme in which dominant U.S. meat industry players have used information provided by a little-known data analytics company to increase prices and pad their bottom lines.

"This is probably one of the top five food scandals of the 21st Century, and we can't underplay it," said Errol Schweizer, the former vice president of Whole Foods' grocery division. "People need to go to jail for this s---."

Admitting that he is trying to not get caught up in the excitement while attending the Democratic National Convention in Chicago, conservative pollster Frank Luntz told CNN that there is definitely a shift underway in the country towards Vice President Kamala Harris.

Speaking with host Briana Keilar, the 62-year-old Luntz noted that the ascension of Harris since Biden stepped aside was the "best launch" he's ever seen.

"Frank, how is it looking? How was this race looking in those few states that she was talking about these key battleground states," the CNN host asked.

"There's been a shift over the last four weeks and that shift is significant," he replied. "You see in the polls, you see in the focus groups, Joe Biden was definitively losing those states by a narrow margin. But she is now definitively even or up in the key states, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, those are the states that absolutely matter most."

"And these last two nights, you actually can, I've been in the hall, I can see the level of intensity, the level of passion," he continued. "I don't want to go overboard because these are the people who care the most about a Democratic victory but it is palpable."

A federal judge has agreed to give Donald Trump more time to obtain records from the Secret Service and Washington, D.C. police in a lawsuit brought by lawmakers.

Attorneys for both Trump and the lawmakers had previously told U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta subpoenas sent to Secret Service and Metropolitan Police Department had gone unanswered for more than a month, and the judge ordered the former president's team to provide a status update on the request by next week, reported Law & Crime.

Donald Trump barraged Truth Social with questionable claims and baseless accusations against political foes in a series of posts published Wednesday in under 10 minutes.

In his initial post at 11:39 a.m. ET, Trump accused President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of manipulating job statistics to present a rosier picture of the U.S. economy than was truthful.
