The Democratic Party’s vice-presidential nominee has been falsely accused of sexually molesting students. The claims have been spread by a former deputy sheriff from Florida, now openly working in Moscow for Russia’s propaganda apparatus, on dozens of social media platforms and fake news outlets.

A faked video purporting to show one victim — creating fake people is a recurring Russian tactic — received more than 5 million views on X, a platform owned by the world’s richest man, Elon Musk. Mr. Musk has not only leaned all in for the Republican nominee, former President Donald J. Trump, but he also used his platform to reanimate discredited claims about the validity of the election’s outcome.

Smears, lies and dirty tricks — what we call disinformation today — have long been a feature of American presidential election campaigns. Two weeks before this year’s vote, however, the torrent of half-truths, lies and fabrications, both foreign and homegrown, has exceeded anything that came before, according to officials and researchers who document disinformation.

Minnesota dad kills his wife, ex and two children - as his chilling social media posts are revealed

A man has killed his wife, ex partner and two sons in a devastating murder suicide which has shattered a tight-knit community.

Anthony Nephew, 46, was found dead with a self inflicted gunshot wound inside his home on West 6th Street in Duluth, Minnesota on Thursday afternoon.

Three years before his death, he spoke candidly about the mental health crisis in the United States, warning 'breakdowns lead to suicide - or homicide before suicide.'

His wife, 45-year-old Kathryn Ramsland, and seven-year-old son Oliver were found dead with gunshot wounds inside the home they shared with Nephew.

Earlier, police had made a grim discovery inside the home of Nephew's ex, Erin Abramson, less than one mile away.

Responding to a welfare call about 2pm, police found 47-year-old Abramson and her 15-year-old son, Jacob Nephew, dead with multiple gunshot wounds.

The blended family had appeared close. Kathryn, who went by Kat, was often sharing public messages on Facebook about Erin.

She described Erin as her 'son's brother's mom' and said she was the 'best baker,' sharing snaps of Erin's baked goods and videos of little Oliver asking for them.

'He was such a sweet little boy,' one neighbor said, describing Oliver.

Kathryn always gushed about Nephew, describing him as 'elite' when wishing him a happy Father's Day recently. The pair celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary last month.

Nephew, meanwhile, appears to have descended into somewhat of a conspiracy theorist in recent months, discussing aliens and 'harnessing the power of the center of the galaxy' in bizarre social media rants.

A federal disaster relief official ordered workers to bypass the homes of Donald Trump’s supporters as they surveyed damage caused by Hurricane Milton in Florida, according to internal correspondence obtained by The Daily Wire and confirmed by multiple federal employees.

A FEMA supervisor told workers in a message to “avoid homes advertising Trump” as they canvassed Lake Placid, Florida to identify residents who could qualify for federal aid, internal messages viewed by The Daily Wire reveal. The supervisor, Marn’i Washington, relayed this message both verbally and in a group chat used by the relief team, multiple government employees told The Daily Wire.

The government employees told The Daily Wire that at least 20 homes with Trump signs or flags were skipped from the end of October and into November due to the guidance, meaning they were not given the opportunity to qualify for FEMA assistance. Images shared with The Daily Wire show that houses were skipped over by the workers, who wrote in the government system messages such as: “Trump sign no entry per leadership.”

It is unclear whether the same guidance was issued elsewhere in the country. The employees were part of a Department of Homeland Security surge capacity force team, meaning they volunteered from other DHS agencies to help an understaffed FEMA as it dealt with a second major hurricane in a span of just a few weeks.

move over poutine and maple syrup and make room for tacos and cats. Canada is bracing itself for tons of illegal immigrants. Last time Trump was president tens of thousands of haitians fled to canada, where I hope they stayed. With any luck the rest of the haitians will also go to canada and eat those geese

>Democratic National Committee women’s chair and Kamala Harris surrogate Lindy Li unloaded her frustrations to Fox News on Saturday, saying the Harris campaign was a “$1 billion disaster” and pinning the blame for it on Joe Biden.

>Li, a donor to Harris, told Fox News host Will Cain that the problems began with Biden’s swift endorsement of Harris on the day he left the presidential race.

>“I actually think President Biden, the whole endorsing her 30 minutes after he dropped out, I think that was a big, ‘F you’ to the party. ‘If you don’t want me, here’s somebody you may not like, deal with it,’” Li said.
