*** This is a developing story. Please refresh the page for updates *** Night three of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) kicks off Wednesday, and Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) will close out the night with his acceptance of the vice presidential nomination. The only question is whether or not he can get through his speech — said to focus on “his lifetime of service and his commitment to safeguarding the freedoms that we all hold dear” — without adding another whopper to his growing list of fabrications. What’s happening? Governor Tim Walz (D-MN) is expected to accept the Democratic Party’s nomination for vice president, but before that happens, the parade of speakers is set to include former President Bill Clinton and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg. John Legend is expected to perform a tribute to Prince on Wednesday as well. According the Alex Hornbrook, executive director of the Democratic National Convention Committee, the evening will highlight “everyday Americans whose freedoms and livelihoods hinge on this election.” Who’s speaking? Also on tap for Wednesday  — in addition to Clinton, Buttigieg, and Walz, are House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD), Gov. Josh Shapiro (D-PA), Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT), Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). What are people saying about it?

Pritzker (D-IL) thusly: “The entire DNC last night was built on the premise that living your entire life as a politician paid by the taxpayers, confiscating the wealth of others, and then making bank off said politics is legitimate — and that private wealth isn’t.” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW!

Wow…just wow.

Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo was called out during a live interview on Wednesday for falsely suggesting that Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump made up numbers that were released earlier in the day by President Joe Biden’s Bureau of Labor Statistics. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that job growth throughout the 12 months ending in March would be revised downward by 818,000 jobs, a hefty drop that is roughly equivalent to 0.5% of total jobs. The downward revision was the largest in decades. When asked during an ABC News interview whether the damaging jobs report could hurt Democrat presidential nominee Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign, Raimondo responded: “No, when I hear that, first of all, I don’t believe it because I have never heard Donald Trump saying anything truthful.” The ABC News host quickly interjected: “It is, though, from the Bureau of Labor.” “I don’t, I don’t, I’m not familiar with that,” Raimondo claimed. Earlier in the week, Raimondo said the thing she hates the most about Republicans was “they just peddle bulls***.” Trump slammed the revised jobs report in a social media post earlier in the day, calling it a “MASSIVE SCANDAL!” Tickets for “Am I Racist?” are on sale NOW! Buy here for a theater near you. “The Harris-Biden Administration has been caught fraudulently manipulating Job Statistics to hide the true extent of the Economic Ruin they have inflicted upon America,” Trump said. “New Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics shows that the Administration PADDED THE NUMBERS with an extra 818,000 Jobs that DO NOT EXIST, AND NEVER DID.” “The real Numbers are much worse than that and, if Comrade Kamala gets another four years, millions more Jobs will VANISH overnight, and Inflation will completely destroy our Country,” he continued. “YOUR LIFE SAVINGS WILL BE WIPED OUT. With a TRUMP VICTORY, we will once again have the Greatest Economy in History.”
