Boxing promoter and convicted manslaughterer Don Kin joined Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump on Fox News host Sean Hannity’s town hall aimed at winning the hearts of African American voters today, a sentence we never thought we’d be typing.

“What I’m asking Donald Trump to do is what Donald Trump volunteered to do, it is to change the system,” King, who once kicked a man to death on a stretch of road now named after him, said. “It doesn’t matter about, whatever we seem right, wrong or indifferent. If the system doesn’t change, it’s going to be the same. So I say, why would Donald Trump be different from Obama or any other president? Because he will call them out.?

2.01am BST

Would-be Democratic presidential nominee Bernie Sanders may no longer have a shot at winning his (newly adopted) party’s nomination, but he has found a new role to take on: that of a young-adult nonfiction author.

Sanders’ upcoming book, Our Revolution, will reportedly be adapted for high school-age kids, according to CNN.

1.47am BST

Hillary Clinton’s campaign has responded to Donald Trump’s declaration that the only reason he abandoned his never-ending quest to prove that President Barack Obama was not born in the United States was that he wanted to “get on with the campaign.”

“After spending 5 years championing a conspiracy theory to undermine our first African American President, Donald Trump hasn’t actually changed his mind,” said campaign spokesperson Jesse Ferguson. “He only gave his 36 second press statement last week to try to change the subject - and it didn’t work.”

The foundation is really there. It gives money to that. It’s really been doing a good job. I think we put that to sleep just by putting out the last report.

Donald Trump’s endorsement of a nationwide “stop-and-frisk” policy at a town hall hosted by acolyte Sean Hannity this afternoon has been well reported, but here are a few other moments from the town hall that will likely spark intense conversations regarding the candidate’s policies:

On the shooting of an unarmed man in Tulsa, Oklahoma:

HANNITY: I saw it.

TRUMP: And a young policemen shot this man. I don’t get it. I don’t care where you’re coming from. There was something really bad going on.

You know, the one thing I see is that when you start to win, and I’ve watched this not just for me, I’ve watched it over the years, when you start to win and win and win, they have nothing to say and they can’t stop you, they always start using the racist word. It’s a very interesting phenomenon, but the word “racist” comes out and that means that you’re winning and that’s their last chance, and I don’t think it’s working.

12.48am BST

In a one-on-one interview with a local ABC affiliate before a campaign appearance in Toledo, Ohio, Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump told a reporter that the reason behind his reversal on his long-held stance on President Barack Obama’s citizenship was that he “wanted to get on with the campaign.”

11.32pm BST

Libertarian presidential nominee and former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson dropped a colorful bit of language during a Facebook Live interview this afternoon, telling a journalist that rumors that his running mate, Bill Weld, is on the verge of dropping from the ticket are “bullshit.”

The rumor, started last week by reporter Carl Bernstein, implies that Weld, startled by the possibility that the Libertarian ticket could spoil Hillary Clinton’s chances of winning the White House and functionally hand the election to Republican nominee Donald Trump, will soon drop out of the race and endorse Clinton.

10.28pm BST

House Democrats and civil rights experts have warned that tens of thousands of African American voters face potential disenfranchisement in November’s presidential election, the first since the supreme court struck down key provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

Donald Trump’s oldest son has defended comparing Syrian refugees to poisoned Skittles today, telling the Utah-based Deseret News that the failures of refugee programs in Europe are evidence that he is right.

“We’ve seen what’s going on in Europe,” Donald Trump Jr. said. “We can’t be naive to that and pretend that’s not happening there. If there’s one death associated with it because we messed up and we didn’t do it right, that’s a problem for me.”

This coming weekend, cast members from Aaron Sorkin walk-and-talk political drama The West Wing will campaign for Hillary Clinton in Ohio, the biggest instance of liberal showbiz wish fulfillment since... well, since The West Wing was on the air in the first place.

Actors Richard Schiff, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford, Dulé Hill, Joshua Malina and Mary McCormack join the Clinton campaign for “grassroots organizing events” across the Buckeye State this weekend, including stops in the Mahoning Valley, Cleveland, Sandusky and Toledo areas on Saturday and in the Dayton and Columbus areas on Sunday.

Here’s Clinton’s conclusion:

We don’t thrive on tearing each other apart, or separating ourselves.

We know that we’re stronger together. We believe in equality and dignity for all. And when we fall short, we strive to do better, to be better… to come closer to becoming that more perfect union.

.@HillaryClinton says she carried this Boston Globe article around with her: https://t.co/h3rKeYVWLb

8.08pm BST

Here’s the meat of it. Clinton lays out planks for equality for people with disabilities: making colleges and universities accessible; standing up the Autism Works employment program; and ratifying the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

Clinton:

These ideas are just a start. We’re working with advocates to come up with more. And if you’ve got an idea, we want to hear it. Because this issue is very close to my heart.

8.03pm BST

Clinton quotes Christopher Reeve, whom she identifies for the younger folks, extemporizing that Reeve “was unbelievably good-looking” (that wasn’t in her prepared remarks):

I’ll never forget something the actor Christopher Reeve said. Some of you may be too young to know who he was – he was a huge star, played Superman, he was unbelievably good looking. He and his wife were friends of mine, and then he was paralyzed in a horse-riding accident.

And he once said that he had been thinking about a phrase that comes up a lot in our politics – “family values.” “Since my accident,” he said, “I’ve found a definition that seems to make sense. I think it means that we’re all family. And that we all have value.”

7.59pm BST

Clinton talks about meeting children with disabilities at the Children’s Defense Fund in the 1970s and observing that some of them were excluded from school and life opportunities by a lack of basic awareness and infrastructure:

There were kids who were hard-of-hearing. Kids with intellectual disabilities. I remember one little girl in a wheelchair, who was smart, curious, and absolutely desperate to go to school. But that chair held her back. Not all schools had ramps or accessible bathrooms.

And most teachers and aides weren’t trained to help her. So she didn’t get to go. It felt like the world had said to her, “Sorry kid – your life just isn’t going to be worth very much.” And she and her family weren’t rich and powerful, so what could they do about it?

That little girl reminded me of another little girl – my mother. She didn’t face the exact same challenges growing up – but she, too, was blocked from a full and happy childhood. She was abandoned by her parents, raised by grandparents who didn’t want her, and ended up on her own when she was just 14, supporting herself as a housemaid. But finally, something went her way. The woman she worked for encouraged her to finish high school.

And that family showed my mother what a happy family looked like. After many lonely years, it was the start of a better life.

7.53pm BST

Clinton gets into the thick of her speech about building opportunities for Americans with disabilities:

I’m talking about people with disabilities. Men and women, boys and girls who have talents, skills, ideas, and dreams for themselves and their families, just like anybody else. Whether they can participate in our economy and lead rich, full lives that are as healthy and productive as possible is a reflection on us as a country. And right now, in many ways, we are falling short. We’ve got to face that, and do better – for everyone’s sake. Because this really does go to the heart of who we are as Americans.

I intend this to be a vital aspect of my presidency – bringing us together, as a nation, to recognize the humanity and support the potential of all our people.

7.51pm BST

While Trump in Toledo hammers on about “extreme vetting,” Clinton is saying this:

And that’s why we’re all here today – because in just 48 days – can you believe it? – in just 48 days, Americans will go to the polls and choose our next president.

I want to just stress that our campaign is about the fundamental belief that, in America, every person, no matter what you look like or who you are, should have the chance to go as far as your dreams will take you. That’s the basic bargain that made our country great. And it’s our job to make sure it’s there for future generations.

7.45pm BST

Before her speech on creating economic opportunities for disabled Americans, Clinton talks about the killings by police of Terence Crutcher and Keith Lamont Scott:

I’m here to talk about how to make our economy work for everyone – but first, I need to say something about two very upsetting incidents that took place over the past few days. First, an unarmed man named Terence Crutcher was shot and killed by a police officer in Tulsa. Then, a man named Keith Lamont Scott was shot and killed by a police officer in Charlotte. I’m sending condolences and prayers to the families, and I know a lot of you are as well.

There is still much we don’t know yet about what happened in both incidents. But we do knowthat we have two more names to add to a long list of African Americans killed by police officers. It’s unbearable. And it needs to become intolerable.

We also saw the targeting of police officers in Philadelphia last week. And last night in Charlotte, 12 officers were injured in demonstrations following Keith Lamont Scott’s death.

7.41pm BST

“She is a true friend and mentor, a true advocate and a true leader,” Somoza concludes.

Clinton takes the stage, hugs Somoza and thanks the crowd and the mayor and other dignitaries.

I want to thank Anastasia for that introduction. Didn’t she do an amazing job? I first met Anastasia when she was 9 years old. She raised her hand at a town hall and said,

“my twin sister can’t speak. Because of that, they put her in a separate class, apart from the rest of the kids. But she can communicate with a computer.

7.37pm BST

Somoza is delivering a moving tribute to Clinton’s work on behalf of Americans with disabilities:

Hillary Clinton has always saved a place for us at the table. Whether it’s education, employment opportunities or community integration, she has been our advocate each and every day, for each and every one of us. ...

Hillary had our back for 30 years. Now it’s time for us to have hers.

7.35pm BST

Disability rights activist Anastasia Somoza takes the stage in her wheelchair to introduce Clinton. She first met Clinton at 9 years old. She talks about how Clinton has supported her and why she supports Clinton: “she is also by our side as we fight our own personal battles.”

As the U.S. presidential election enters the home stretch, we see overwhelming evidence that a Donald Trump presidency would put U.S. national security interests at risk. Trump’s cozy relationship and lavish praise of Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump’s criticism of the historic U.S. alliance with NATO partners, his invitation to Russian hackers to meddle in the presidential election, and his campaign staff’s financial ties to pro-Russian politicians in Ukraine all pose a danger to America’s vital national interests.

Through Election Day, www.putintrump.org will analyze and raise awareness on this critical set of issues. Our goal is to be the Web’s most rigorous and thorough source for news and information on the dangerous Putin-Trump connection.

Clinton spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri has told reporters traveling with the candidate that “debate preparations are happening” in the Clinton camp, and while Clinton “is not practicing every day, she has material that she reviews everyday.”

“She feels the moderator should play a role of someone who makes sure the audience know the truth,” Palmieri said.

OK, let’s argue over whether Trump can steal Wisconsin. NB: NGH stands for Not Gonna Happen.

To #TrumpTrain responding to above with "what about Wisconsin?" Trump has never led in a poll there. Mitt lost by 7 pts/200k+ votes. NGH.

there's a lot of difference between a "3-point lead" that's 41-38 and a "3-point lead" that's, say, 51-48.

If the Clinton campaign starts advertising in Wisconsin, we'll know there's something major going on.

Whoa. Wisconsin looking tight as a tick. Add it to PA/NH as possible winning state for Trump https://t.co/w3K9UQXRyG

Poll was conducted September 15-18. Margin of error is +/-4.4 percentage points for the full sample. 677 out of 802 people said they were certain to vote, which we label likely voters. Margin of error for them is +/-4.8 points.

Among registered voters, Feingold backed by 46%, Johnson backed by 40%. #mulawpoll

This is a good flag... the Smoking Gun reads Trump Foundation tax returns every year (as a nonprofit, the organization must make them public) and has long reported that the foundation doesn’t give away much and Trump had not contributed since 2008:

Gotta give due credit to the Smoking Gun; they were out in front on the Trump Foundation story in January. https://t.co/15lnxfEGEU

For the sixth straight year, Donald Trump made no contributions to his own charitable foundation, instead relying on a hefty contribution from a New York City ticket scalper to underwrite the group’s activities, according to a new Internal Revenue Service filing. [...]

IRS records show that the last time Trump personally deposited funds into his eponymous foundation was 2008, when he cut the organization a check for $30,000.

Until Trump releases his personal tax returns, the true level of his charitable giving will remain unknown.

A “shit ton of famous people” have banded together to get US voters to the polls on 8 November. Gathered together by director Joss Whedon, the celebrities made their pitch to the public in a three-minute video titled Important, writes the Guardian’s Nicole Puglise:

A new (high-quality) poll of likely voters in New Hampshire has Hillary Clinton leading Donald Trump by 9 points in a four-way race – but Republican incumbent senator Kelly Ayotte is ahead of Democratic governor Maggie Hassan by two points in the poll.

On the presidential side it’s:

Clinton has the advantage among voters under 50 years old (45% to 35%) as well as those age 50 and older (49% to 41%). Clinton leads among women (56% to 30%) and voters with a college degree (54% to 31%). Trump leads among men (47% to 37%) and voters without a college education (47% to 40%).

Last time Trump led in a live interview poll that called cells in New Hampshire? Never.

In an op-ed published Wednesday in the New York Times, Hillary Clinton writes that “we have to do better” to prevent children in the United States from growing up in poverty. “Advocating for children and families has been the cause of my life, starting with my first job as a young attorney at the Children’s Defense Fund,” she writes.

The message is amplified by a new ad from the Clinton campaign weaving together clips of Clinton speaking over the last 40 years about poverty and income inequality. The ad is called She Always:

The true measure of any society is how we take care of our children. With all of our country’s resources, no child should ever have to grow up in poverty. Yet every single night, all across America, kids go to sleep hungry or without a place to call home.

We have to do better. Advocating for children and families has been the cause of my life, starting with my first job as a young attorney at the Children’s Defense Fund, and if I have the honor of serving as president, it will be the driving mission of my administration.

Nearly 40 percent of Americans between the ages of 25 and 60 will experience a year in poverty at some point. The best way to help families lift themselves out of poverty is to make it easier to find good-paying jobs. As president, one of my top priorities will be increasing economic growth that’s strong, fair and lasting. I will work with Democrats and Republicans to make a historic investment in good-paying jobs — jobs in infrastructure and manufacturing, technology and innovation, small businesses and clean energy. And we need to make sure that hard work is rewarded by raising the minimum wage and finally guaranteeing equal pay for women.

Reads like the typical Clinton speech I’ve been to — of course, the news is always what she said re Trump. https://t.co/uMCvDL6BiI

Trump:

As you know I’m a tremendous believer in police and law enforcement because we need that for ourselves. They’re great people. Great people. With great people – you always have problems...

I watched the shooting in particular in Tulsa. And that man was hands up. That man went to the car hands up. Put his hands on the car. To me it looked like he did everything he’s supposed to do. And he looked like a really good man. And maybe I’m a little bit clouded because I saw his family speak after...

John F Kennedy says sometimes party loyalty asks to much. This is the coming of a man who has taken on a system... a law that makes right wrong, and wrong right. He undertook that challenge, and from his lips to god’s ears, he says we will create a whole new system...

What I will say I put it in this category so you understand.. the white woman and the slave.. when the system was created they did not give her, the white woman did not have her rights and she still does not have her rights... Donald... when I see them try to ridiculize him, or when they try to ostracize... I want you to understand that every white woman should vote for Donald Trump... to knock out the system.

Hello and welcome to our live-wire coverage of the 2016 race for the White House. Donald Trump’s charitable foundation, whose coffers appear filled with other people’s money that Trump reportedly taps to pay his own legal settlements, is due to lay out “factual errors” in such recent alarming reports, Trump’s running mate Mike Pence said late Tuesday.

The announcement came after the latest in a series of stories by Washington Post reporter David Fahrenthold describing strange dealings at the foundation.

A claim that a reporter has made factual errors without identifying the errors is frivolous.
