A Maryland gun extremist was arrested after threatening to shoot and kill Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, his neighbors, and “anti-gun group leaders.” He said the assassinations would show “Biden/Harris supporters … what the Second Amendment is all about.” https://t.co/rDnaCxclZy

Incredible stuff from @katie_robertson inside the New York Post’s newsroom as the bosses rammed a story through on Rudy’s sayso, and over reporters’ objections https://t.co/4einsJKfCT

In an effort to legitimize their reporting on Hunter Biden’s email, the NY Post asked two veteran reporters to put their names on the story, per NYT. They refused. A 3rd, whose name appears on the stories, didn’t learn she’d be on until it published. https://t.co/CsCUf203ld pic.twitter.com/2SwzCntsfV

Michigan militiamen arrested in plot to kidnap Gov. Whitmer
Just so you know, this isn’t one of those “let’s put in a confidential informant and see what we can egg them on to do” indictments. The details are pretty scary, and I’m glad that at least Chris Wray (who Trump plans to fire) is doing his job.
They were affiliated with a separate white nationalist extremist group, known as the Wolverine Watchmen, and the state’s attorney general accused them of publicizing addresses of police officers, threatening to start a civil war “leading to societal collapse” and planning to kidnap the governor and other government officials.
Notice, as always, the special kind of hate they reserve for women.
The F.B.I. said it had learned about the six men it charged by intercepting encrypted messages the men had sent and because it had undercover agents and confidential informants working with the group. https://t.co/2vxbjccXTD

Trump campaign official Jason Miller is on Fox News attacking Gretchen Whitmer, the victim of a kidnapping plot: “If we want to talk about hatred, then Gov. Whitmer, go look in the mirror — the fact that she wakes up everyday with such hatred in her heart for President Trump.” pic.twitter.com/sMXv7mgBfa

Proud Boys and their hero
Less than a day after telling the white supremacist group to "stand back and stand by" when asked if he'd condemn white supremacists, President Trump now says he doesn't "know who the Proud Boys are." https://t.co/BFBoCgPDZa

Trump's vile "Proud Boys" comment is looking worse than we thought. Former DHS insider Elizabeth Neumann has explained that serious efforts were made to get Trump to understand the right wing extremist threat. He refused. Her claims deserve more scrutiny:https://t.co/7qO8VZAHwF

Race has featured heavily tonight. Biden flatly called Trump a racist, then said that Trump’s “racist dogwhistles” about suburbs don’t work any more, and then Trump declined to categorically condemn white supremacists and instead told the Proud Boys to “stand back and standby.”

“Stand back and standby” to the #ProudBoys is literally the scariest thing I’ve ever heard from an American President ever. #Debates2020
