Quick Glance: Trump Melts Down Online During Harris’ DNC Speech
- Donald Trump erupted into a public meltdown just two minutes into Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination acceptance speech during the Democratic National Convention. His response included around 50 furious posts on Truth Social, which started when Harris entered the venue and continued after her speech concluded. Trump's posts revealed his displeasure with Harris' remarks, questioning why she was discussing topics like childhood instead of pressing issues such as the border crisis, inflation, and crime.
- Harris specifically criticized Trump and his associates for their plans to restrict reproductive rights, outlining proposals from Project 2025, a conservative initiative aimed at advancing a far-right agenda. These included limiting access to birth control and implementing a national abortion ban. Trump vehemently denied these claims, labeling them as lies and insisting he supports women's safety, while accusing Harris of contributing to societal problems through her immigration policies.
- In addition to his social media rants, Trump called into Fox News to vent his frustrations. He argued against Harris' growing popularity in polls and demographics, asserting that he was performing well among various voter groups. Despite the anchors' attempts to moderate the conversation, Trump seemed flustered and repeatedly interrupted himself due to technical mishaps on his phone.
- After his Fox News appearance, Trump continued his tirade by calling into Newsmax, where he expressed disappointment that Harris did not address issues like human trafficking. His erratic behavior and inability to stay composed were noticeable throughout these broadcasts, leading to comments from hosts about his unique demeanor.

Texas, other GOP-led states sue over program to give legal status to immigrant spouses of U.S. citizens
pbs.org/newshour/politics/texas-other-gop-led-states-sue-over-program-to-give-legal-status-to-immigrant-spouses-of-u-s-citizens
Quick Glance: Legal Battle Over Immigration Program Intensifies
- Sixteen Republican-led states have filed a lawsuit to terminate a federal program that could provide nearly 500,000 undocumented immigrants married to U.S. citizens with a path to citizenship. The lawsuit claims the Biden administration bypassed Congress to establish this program for 'blatant political purposes.'
- Under this program, which began accepting applications, many undocumented spouses can request 'parole in place,' allowing them to remain in the U.S., apply for a green card, and eventually pursue citizenship. The initiative has faced significant backlash in an election year, with many Republicans labeling it as a form of amnesty.
- Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton stated that the plan 'violates the Constitution' and exacerbates the illegal immigration crisis. The lawsuit targets the Department of Homeland Security and other Biden administration officials, accusing them of attempting to grant parole to spouses en masse, which the states view as an abuse of power.
- To qualify for the program, immigrants must have resided continuously in the U.S. for at least 10 years, pose no security threats, and have no disqualifying criminal history. Applicants must pay a $580 fee and submit extensive documentation. The administration estimates around 500,000 individuals and 50,000 of their children may be eligible.
