Washington — President Trump strode into the White House press room on Thursday and spoke for roughly 15 minutes about the 2020 election. His remarks were so laden with lies, misinformation, half-truths, and conspiracy theories that there’s no reason to repeat them.
Trump is trying to undermine U.S. democracy, and we’re not going to help him do it.
Instead, here are a few correctives to the president’s desperate attempt to undermine the public’s faith in its elections.

Donald Trump Falsely Claims “We Already Won,” Even Though Votes Have Not Been Counted Or Race Called
Donald Trump tonight raised the specter of a bitter challenge of the remaining ballots to be counted in the presidential race, telling a crowd of supporters at the White House that “as far as I am concerned we have already won.”
The incumbent also said that he would be going to the Supreme Court, saying, “We want all the voting to stop.” Trump added: “This is a fraud on the American public.”

Washington — Michelle Wolf’s monologue at the White House Correspondents Association dinner dominated the headlines coming out of the evening — even if it was a mere sliver of the four-hour event and only a moment in what is traditionally D.C.’s most social weekend.
The surreal aspect is usually the mix of newsmakers on opposite ends of the political spectrum or at odds in other ways — Michael Avenatti, Stormy Daniels’ attorney, was at the annual Garden Brunch on Saturday along with Kellyanne Conway.
Hollywood had a presence, although it was much more muted than in previous years. At Hamilton Live, Kevin Bacon and The Bacon Brothers at one point played “Footloose,” as they were the headliners to a series of journalist-bands, including Lester Holt and the Rough Cuts.
