Miss Sassy is safe. Another embarrassing snag has been hit by J D Vance's pet-eating hoax. JD Vance's claim that Haitian immigrants are stealing and eating pets has encountered yet another awkward turn of events. In response to criticism regarding the hoax, Vance's campaign this week provided the Wall Street Journal with a police report that described a Springfield, Ohio, resident's allegation that her cat had mysteriously disappeared in August. According to Vance's team, the report provided evidence that there was cause for concern regarding the safety of Springfield's pets. But as it happens, Miss Sassy, the missing cat, was safe all along, just like Sassy, the cat from Homeward Bound. Her owner, Anna Kilgore, reported to the Journal that her cat's journey home was a little bit shorter. She spent the entire time hiding in her basement, only to reappear a few days after she reported her missing to the police. Kilgore told the Journal that she used her daughter and a translation app to apologize to her Haitian neighbours. Kilgore was seen holding a Trump 2024 flag and sporting a shirt bearing the same slogan.

FBI announced on Wednesday that Iranian hackers have attempted to intervene in the 2024 U.S. presidential election. The hackers sent emails to contacts of President Joe Biden’s campaign, using information allegedly stolen from former President Donald Trump’s campaign. The messages included excerpts from Trump's campaign documents aiming to lure Biden's team. The FBI found no evidence that anyone responded to these emails. Kamala Harris' campaign called the emails “unwelcome and unacceptable malicious activity,” treating them mostly as spam or phishing. Harris's campaign spokesperson, Morgan Finkelstein, stated, “We condemn in the strongest terms any effort by foreign actors to interfere in US elections.” The emails were sent before Trump’s campaign publicly acknowledged the hack on August 10. Iranian hackers reportedly stole and spread confidential Trump campaign documents. News outlets, including Politico, The New York Times, and The Washington Post, received these materials but have not reported the details.

Q. What is the core of your research? A. I work on administrative and constitutional law — I focus closely on immigration policy and how Latinos, Latinas and other minority groups are treated in America. We’ve heard Donald Trump recently claiming immigrants were ‘eating pets’ in Springfield, Ohio — what are the roots of such discourse? It’s intriguing that we’ve just started hearing these claims which were first made in the Presidential debate held last week. This was Donald Trump’s response to a direct question about his plan for immigration. Trump has promised to conduct mass deportations of undocumented immigrants. The question on that was pointed. The answer was a deflection, with Trump claiming immigrants — he was referring to Haitians — were apparently eating pets.

Kamala Harris is set to conduct a rare extended campaign interview Tuesday, taking questions from a trio of journalists from the National Association of Black Journalists just a month after former President Donald Trump 's appearance before the same organization turned contentious over matters of race and other issues. The Trump interview opened a chapter in the campaign in which the Republican candidate repeatedly questioned Harris' racial identity, baselessly claiming that she had only belatedly «turned Black» at some point in her professional career. Trump has since repeatedly questioned Harris' racial identity on the campaign trail and during the September presidential debate Harris, the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, has repeatedly dismissed Trump's remarks as «the same old show.» During her September debate with Trump she said it was a «tragedy» that he had «attempted to use race to divide the American people.»

Republican nominees Donald Trump and JD Vance have strongly criticized The New York Times for a headline used in an opinion piece against Vance. The article, written by Opinion columnist Jamelle Bouie, was titled «JD Vance’s Blood-and-Soil Nationalism Finds Its Target.» It criticized Vance, the vice presidential candidate, for claiming that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio, were eating pets and wildlife. The same claims were mentioned by Trump during a recent presidential debate. Bouie's column also linked Vance's comments to bomb threats made against schools and government buildings in Springfield. Trump campaign advisor Alex Bruesewitz called the headline «disgusting» and demanded an apology from the newspaper.

US election 2024 is witnessing a peculiar subject hogging the limelight and it's related to the dogs and cats of Springfield, Ohio. Ever since former President Donald Trump claimed on national television that immigrants were stealing and devouring the household pets of Springfield — «they're eating the dogs,» he practically shouted, «they're eating the cats» — the rhythms and routines in the city have not been the same. City officials say they have received no credible reports of anybody eating household animals. Karen Graves, a city spokesperson, said she was not aware of recent hate crimes targeting Haitian residents but that some had been victims of «crimes of opportunity,» such as property theft. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump pledged on Friday to conduct mass deportations of Haitian immigrants from the Ohio city of Springfield, even though the majority of them are in the United States legally.

Springfield, Ohio, has been dealing with bomb threats for two straight days after the city was catapulted into the international spotlight on Tuesday when former president Donald Trump pushed a narrative, without evidence, about Haitian immigrants during the presidential debate with Vice-President Kamala Harris.

Trump made a controversial claim about undocumented Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio. Trump stated that these immigrants were eating local pets, a claim quickly debunked by officials. Trump emphasized his stance on immigration by saying, “In Springfield, they’re eating the dogs, the people that came in. They’re eating the cats. They’re eating the pets of the people that live there.” Vice President Kamala Harris reacted with visible confusion to Trump's statement, which had previously gained attention on social media through Trump's running mate JD Vance. The claim went viral on X (formerly Twitter), where the phrase “They’re eating the dogs” trended and generated nearly 270,000 posts. Many users created humorous content, including setting the comment to music.

Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris, Trump made an unexpected move by entering the spin room. Trump confidently told reporters that he believed he had emerged as the victor of the night. He described the debate as his «best» performance, noting that it felt like a «three against one» situation, referring to the ABC News moderators. Trump spent several minutes answering questions from reporters before heading to a live interview with Sean Hannity on Fox News, where he reinforced his claim of winning the debate.

Donald Trump's side of the presidential debate stage to introduce herself and shake hands. It is widely acknowledged that Donald Trump lacks strength and is incorrect when it comes to foreign policy and national security, she declared during what could prove to be a crucial discussion in which the outgoing president was unable to consistently avoid confronting his own worst impulses. As the underdog going into Tuesday's highly anticipated event in Philadelphia, hosted by ABC News, Harris frequently referred to the scowling Trump as weak. The three-time GOP contender was left with nothing more than a frown on his face and blank looks in his mouth. On the other hand, Trump offered little insight into his much-discussed replacement for Obamacare, instead focusing his efforts on spreading false social media stories about Haitian immigrants eating the pets in Ohio and other places. The anti-wonk former president acknowledged having concepts of a plan when he was pressed. The aggressive vice president knew exactly where to aim and what the response would be, unlike Hillary Clinton or Joe Biden. After the ninety-minute debate and its concluding remarks, Trump appeared haunted and, to be honest, elderly.
