Week. Lets get to some of the conversations you might have missed. Lets talk about the debate. In your latest piece you write quote, the most important thing i saw Kamala Harris who was pre blocking, not debunking, was waiting for someone to lie, and hit back with the truth.

Yesterday two elementary schools, city hall, dmv and the county court facilities had to close because of bomb threats. Today two elementary schools were evacuated and a middle school had to close. Yesterday the mayor of springfield told nbc news he believes these bomb threats are directly connected to the baseless rumors spread online in the wake of viral social media posts claiming haitian migrants were abducting people s pets in springfield in order to eat them.
