We’ve finished our politics of the day, thank you for following us. Some links and progress of the day:
The Minnesota Department of Health said it had tracked 20 Covid-19 cases at a Trump rally in Bemidji in September, CNN reports:
Sixteen of the 20 cases are other people who were at the rally, while two other people are now hospitalized, according to CNN.
Donald Trump is now speaking at a rally in Macon, Georgia, attacking the media and Democrats with lies and unstoppered claims.
In his last speech today, the president continually mocked Joe Biden for verbal statements, but he misrepresented himself in many ways, CNN fact-checker Daniel Dale notes:
At Macon’s rally, a state representative and Trump supporter surfed through the crowd, an activity that obviously violates the patterns of social estating:
Congressman Joe Kennedy III’s failed Senate crusade report today that he mistakenly spent $1. 5 million on general election donations, number one in opposition to Senator Ed Markey, the Boston Globe reported.
Federal crusade finance regulations prohibit applicants from spending their electoral budget on primaries, the Globe reported.
“After an internal review, I think it was a bug right in the component of those involved, as a result of misinformation, not malice,” Kennedy told The Globe. that happened and I’ve tried to rectify it as temporarily as possible. “
Kennedy also stated that he was unaware of unnecessary expenses.
Markey won the close race with those of progressive groups.
QAnon’s conspiracy theory has been linked to several acts of violence since 2018, with QAnon supporters arrested for threatening politicians, breaking into the Canadian prime minister’s residence, an armed stalemate near Hoover Dam, a kidnapping plot and two kidnappings, and at least one murder. .
QAnon members say Donald Trump is looking to save the world from a clique of satanic paedophiles. The narrative of conspiracy theory includes centuries-old anti-Semitic tropes, such as the confidence that the clique is collecting the blood of abused children, and their names express individuals, adding Democratic politicians and Hollywood celebrities, as participants in a global conspiracy. Experts call these claims excessive and unfounded “incitement to violence. “
The claims of conspiracy theory put others at risk. The FBI met QAnon in 2019 as a potential national terrorist risk and the West Point Counterterrorism Center described it as a “new public safety challenge. “
QAnon supporters will soon be mass arrests and that clique members will be brought to justice If conspiracy theorists begin to lose confidence in Trump’s ability to prevent child abusers, Travis View, one of the presenters of the QAnon Anonymous podcast, that said, they may simply start making more direct violent movements.

Trump’s closet is “struggling to pass regulatory adjustments affecting millions of Americans” for fear that he will lose re-election, according to a new New York Times report.
The proposed rules, according to the Times, include:
The bombardment is so hasty that some of the adjustments may be vulnerable to legal challenges, the Times reported.
A concert in Montana attended by Republican Congressman Greg Gianforte, also a gubernatorial candidate, was linked to a Covid-19 outbreak, the AP reports.
Gianforte has not been examined since, his spokesman said, saying he had no symptoms and his physical care provider said it was not necessary.
The outdoor concert, held on October 3 in Helena, had been approved through the local fitness service, The Independent Record reported. Since then, the event organizers have been criticized for not complying with Covid’s local regulations, which stipulate that public events have no more than 250 participants.
Gianforte has already been criticized for dressing up in a mask and hugging his followers:
Ronna McDaniel, president of the Republican National Committee who also recently had Covid, provides a mask at Trump’s rally:
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris tested negative for Covid-19 today, according to campaigns:
This happens a day after either report traveling on planes this week with others who tested positive for coronavirus, or said they had no close contact with those affected.
The U. S. Supreme Court agreed today to hear the arguments in a closely supervised case about whether Donald Trump can exclude undocumented immigrants from the overall population count used for the number of seats in the U. S. House of Representatives obtained by each state.
The court announced Friday that it will hear the oral arguments in the case on November 30. Trump issued an executive order banning the count of undocumented people before this summer, but a three-judge panel blocked the measure in early September. the census, which is used to allocate seats in the House, includes all “people. “In September, the judges wrote that because the 10-year census raised questions about citizenship, the prestige of citizenship can be taken into account when assigning seats.
But the Supreme Court’s decision alone to hear the case is disturbing, the case took an exclusive procedural direction to the court, and, as it came here from a three-judge panel, the court is required to do so. the decision of the three-judge panel without oral argument: the fact that it has established one would possibly be a sign that it is ready to be revoked.
Moreover, the Supreme Court this week allowed the Trump administration to finish counting for the census two weeks earlier, despite warnings that it would lead to insufficient population counting. Observers have speculated that the Trump administration is reviewing to speed up the census to ensure Trump has the opportunity to verify to exclude undocumented immigrants from the count before leaving office.
Donald Trump called Hope Hicks, his senior adviser who tested for Covid this month, to the level of his Florida rally:
He didn’t dress in a mask and said very little, but he joked, “Now we can put on a microphone. “
Trump is back on the crusade path this week after being hospitalized by Covid. In the city corridor last night, the president spread lies about the virus and masks.
Donald Trump has reversed his administration’s resolve to deny California’s request for more federal aid to wildfires, the state governor announced.
“I just hung up the phone with President Trump, who approved our request for a primary crisis statement,” Gavin Newsom tweeted. “I’m grateful for your quick response. “
Newsom’s tweet came hours after he said he had appealed to the president’s rejection to further clean up the damage caused by six recent primary fires. California’s wildfire season has been disastrous, with more than 8,500 fires burning more than 6,400 square miles (16,000 km2). since the beginning of the year.
Hello everyone: Sam Levin in Los Angeles, taking on our policy for the rest of the day.
California Sen. Dianne Feinstein, a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, faces a growing backlash from progressive teams who say she failed in her leadership role in Amy Coney Barrett’s nominating hearings.
After Demand Justice, a progressive group, asked him to resign yesterday, Naral Pro-Choice America, a leading reproductive rights group, also called it “completely out of tune with the American people,” saying that “the committee wants new leadership. “:
Naral criticized Feinstein for providing “an appearance of credibility to the procedures. “The high-ranking Democratic senator said, “This is one of the auditions I’ve attended” and gave President Lindsey Graham a hug:
California Congresswoman Katie Porter, a Democrat, also criticized Feinstein and told HuffPost: “I don’t agree at all with Senator Feinstein that this series of hearings was one of the most productive or even acceptable. I think Amy Coney Barrett didn’t fundamentally answer questions about her ideals and we’ve turned away from them several times. We receive much fewer direct responses than the Supreme Court’s highest hearings.
The Los Angeles Times received a first copy of Trump’s book, Tower of Lies: What My 18 Years of Working with Donald Trump Reveals About Him, and through Barbara A Res, a former employee of the Trump Organization.
“The e-book talks about racist, anti-Semitic and sexist behavior,” the Times reports, “as well as Trump’s ability to lie” so naturally “that” if you don’t know the genuine facts, anything can slip away. “
He resigned from Trump’s task two decades ago and has been criticizing him ever since. On the page, the Times said, sheArray. .
. . . Remember that Trump rebuked her when he saw a on the site of a structure.
“Let it go now, ” he said, “and never let that happen again. I don’t need other people to think the Trump Tower was built through other black people. “
Trump turned red when he took a young black candidate to the lobby of the building, he wrote.
“Barbara, I don’t need black kids sitting in the lobby where other people come to buy million-dollar apartments!”
Res wrote that Trump had hired a German residential administrator, believing his legacy to do so “particularly blank and tidy,” and then joked with Jewish leaders that “this guy still remembers the ovens, so it’s better to take care of him. “
Trump and his crusade occasionally cited Res in the 2016 election as an example of his progressive history of hiring and selling women.
One might think, see below, that if the election approaches, Trump’s e-book vein could be almost exhausted. Tim Murtaugh, communications director of the Trump campaign, hopes so. He said the Times Res e-book “is clearly a disgruntled former worker who wraps a lot of lies in an e-book to make money. “
That’s all from me today. My West Coast colleague, Sam Levin, will be back on the blog for a few hours.
Here’s the day so far:
Sam’s going to have more to come, so tune in.
Trump is now talking to Ocala, Florida, and the president is attacking Joe Biden as the head of a “corrupt family. “
When Trump attacked Biden and his son, Hunter, the Florida crowd began shouting, “Shut up!”
“Joe Biden is a corrupt politician, and he has been for a long time,” Trump said. “Biden’s family circle is a fraudulent enterprise. “
The president added: “Actually, they make the ‘Hillary Clinton crooked’ look like an hour of amateur. “
Trump has continually referred to a New York Post article about some of Hunter Biden’s emails that federal investigators are reportedly examining as a component of a imaginable foreign intelligence operation.
