 Michael Ciaglo/Getty ImagesDonald Trump, while giving a speech Friday in Colorado during which he used teleprompters, falsely claimed that he doesn't use them.
Not only that, but the chronically truth-averse candidate repeated a debunked assertion on the same topic: that Vice President Kamala Harris used a teleprompter during her Univision town hall the day prior.
"Did you see where she did a town hall yesterday and she used a teleprompter? I never saw a town—you don't use teleprompters. We don't use teleprompters, period, pretty much. You don't use them for town halls," Trump said, part of remarks that saw him imitate his critics by calling Harris a "threat to democracy," even as his own former generals and cabinet members are saying that about him.

 Isaiah J. Downing/ReutersTurning the tables with an ironic twist, Donald Trump called Kamala Harris a threat to democracy on Friday and announced a plan to use a 1798 law to round up and deport undocumented migrants.
"We will begin the largest deportation operation in the history of the United States," Trump said at a campaign stop in Aurora, Colorado.
Trump said if he wins another term in the White House, he'll create "Operation Aurora" to target Venezuelan gang members and other "illegal aliens," who he also referred to as "animals," who have poured over the border. And it's all Harris' fault, he said.

Christie—who previously supported Trump's last two campaigns before speaking out against him more recently—told Bruni that he has seen declines in the GOP nominee's mental acuity and speaking ability.
"He wasn't as good in 2020 as he was in 2016," Christie said. "I saw decline in his skills in '20 from '16, and you see significant declines still. What masks it is that he is still physically pretty vibrant and energetic, unlike the president. But if you listen to him and his ability to make a point, it's not nearly as good now as it was in 2016, not nearly."

Vance told The Interview host Lulu Garcia-Navarro that he was "focused on the future," reported the New York Times.
"There's an obsession here with focusing on 2020," Vance said in the interview. "I'm much more worried about what happened after 2020, which is a wide-open border, groceries that are unaffordable."

 Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesElon Musk's X social media platform has reportedly worked with Donald Trump's campaign to censor material that could be harmful to the former president's White House chances as part of a pattern of election interference that is unprecedented in U.S. history.
According to The New York Times, Trump told one associate that Musk was pumping $500 million into his campaign. The two men are said to speak "multiple times a week."
The Times reported that the Trump campaign "connected with X" to prevent the spread of hacked information supposedly from a dossier drawn up by GOP staffers tasked with vetting running mate JD Vance.

 Reuters/Randall HillThe aerospace manufacturer Boeing will lay off 17,000 employees—10 percent of its workforce—amid a strike, production delays, and safety concerns with its aircrafts, its CEO announced Friday.
"Our business is in a difficult position, and it is hard to overstate the challenges we face together," said Kelly Ortberg, who took the company's reins in August. "Beyond navigating our current environment, restoring our company requires tough decisions and we will have to make structural changes to ensure we can stay competitive and deliver for our customers over the long term."
The company, which last reported a profit in 2018, saw its largest, 33,000-person union walk out almost a month ago after rejecting a labor deal. The stoppage is reportedly costing the firm a billion dollars a month as the two sides struggle to reach an agreement.
