    CNN asks what the candidates would do about climate change.

    They got back answers about immigration, HBCUs, insulin, and clean air and water (which is not the same as climate change).

    Really baffling Trump line about how Charlottesville is made up / debunked.

    Does he mean, like... that it happened? I don’t know. What a time to cut to ads.

    In the middle of a back-and-forth about Jan. 6, Trump namedrops the city of Portland, Oregon.

    Just gonna throw out this old Verge feature about the Portland van snatchings.

    Trump calls The Atlantic a third-rate magazine.

    Trump is extremely sore about The Atlantic’s reporting that he said a cemetery for soldiers was full of “suckers” and “losers,” calling it a lie that was printed in “a third-rate magazine.”

    It is, frankly, very difficult to follow any of this.

    Was that a reference to tariffs on goods from China? Was that a commitment to drilling for oil? What on earth was that line about Medicare?

    The first presidential debate is on tonight.

    The Verge will not be doing a shot every time someone says “TikTok,” but we’ll be posting our live commentary here.

    Someone at SCOTUS pushed the wrong button and accidentally published a draft opinion in a pending abortion case.

    A draft opinion for Moyle v. US — a still-undecided abortion case — was briefly published to the Supreme Court website today. According to Bloomberg, the draft would allow emergency abortions in Idaho.

    The court is behind schedule with ten decisions left to go, including the NetChoice cases.

    House Republicans want to block that giant data privacy bill that had a really good chance of passing.

    The American Privacy Rights Act looked like it had a real shot; now it may become yet another victim of House GOP internal drama. I suppose aside from the communist plot to sap and impurify all of our precious personal data, Congress simply does not care about privacy?

    ByteDance would rather shut TikTok down than sell it, according to Reuters.

    Meanwhile, sources tell The Information that ByteDance is “internally exploring scenarios for selling.” It’s been literally one day since the divest-or-ban ultimatum became law, so I hope you’re ready for another nine to twelve months of spin.
