ProPublica - One of President Donald Trump’s lesser known but profoundly damaging legacies will be the explosive rise in the national debt that occurred on his watch. The financial burden that he’s inflicted on our government will wreak havoc for decades, saddling our kids and grandkids with debt.
The national debt has risen by almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s time in office. That’s nearly twice as much as what Americans owe on student loans, car loans, credit cards and every other type of debt other than mortgages, combined, according to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York. It amounts to about $23,500 in new federal debt for every person in the country. The growth in the annual deficit under Trump ranks as the third-biggest increase, relative to the size of the economy, of any U.S. presidential administration, according to a calculation by a leading Washington budget maven, Eugene Steuerle, co-founder of the Urban-Brookings Tax Policy Center.

CNN - Former President Donald Trump filed a petition Thursday seeking to move his New York state criminal case to a federal court in Manhattan and push off the upcoming sentencing for his conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records. The petition asks the court to confirm Trump cannot be sentenced while the litigation over the removal to federal court is pending. Trump’s sentencing is currently scheduled for September 18, though Judge Juan Merchan is expected to rule in early September on a previously filed motion from Trump’s legal team — which the Manhattan district attorney’s office did not oppose — to delay it until after the election.
NBC News - In Donald Trump's new book set to be released Tuesday, he threatens to imprison Mark Zuckerberg and says he "got along well" with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
NPR - Trump says he supports IVF and wants it to be widely available, Minnesota Public Radio’s Clay Masters says. But abortion remains an issue he is wrestling with. In an interview with NBC News earlier in the day, he indicated he would vote in favor of abortion rights in Florida’s ballot measure. The campaign pushed back quickly, saying Trump believes Florida's six-week abortion ban is too short but hasn't yet said how he would vote. During the town hall, he accused Walz without evidence of supporting abortions into the third trimester of pregnancy. He also attacked the Minnesota governor on a bill he signed that made tampons available in school bathrooms in the state.
Roll Call - The Trump campaign is promising to rescind Biden administration energy-sector regulations intended to curtail greenhouse gas emissions to help the nation reach international climate targets. The move, if former President Donald Trump is reelected, would set a future Trump administration for a repeat of its first-term policies, in which a number of previous regulations related to energy and climate were either scrapped or weakened.
