Kamala Harris, Donald Trump make economic pitches to Latino voters – Los Angeles Times

Trump has also questioned people’s racial backgrounds — including Harris’ — and racial dog whistles and overtly racist rhetoric have been fixtures of Trump’s public life.

The federal government sued Trump for allegedly discriminating against Black apartment seekers in the 1970s. In 1989, Trump purchased a full-page ad in the New York Times calling for the reinstatement of the death penalty after five Black and Latino teenagers, known then as the Central Park Five, were accused of raping and beating a white female jogger in New York City. They were cleared of wrongdoing in 2002 after another person confessed to the crime.

Now known as the Exonerated Five, the men filed a lawsuit Monday against Trump. They accused the candidate of making “false and defamatory statements” against them in his debate with Harris last month in which Trump wrongly stated that the victim was killed and that the wrongly accused suspects had pleaded guilty.

Using the term “lazy” to describe Harris, who is Black and of South Asian descent, evokes racist tropes that paint Black Americans as lazy, unsophisticated, submissive or inept.

Scrutiny of Republican Tim Sheehy’s business grows amid US Senate race

Bridger Aerospace secured $160m in bond from Gallatin county to hire new workers, but spent $134m on debt

Scrutiny is growing about the Montana aerial firefighting company once led by Tim Sheehy, the former Navy Seal and Republican Senate candidate who could oust the Democrat incumbent Jon Tester in next month’s election.

According to NBC News, Sheehy’s Bridger Aerospace, a company he founded in 2013, negotiated a deal with Gallatin county in eastern Montana to use its pristine credit rating to raise $160m in bonds. The county was meant to benefit from Bridger’s plans to hire more workers and build two new aircraft hangers.

But the company used most of the money, or $134m, from the 2022 bond issue to pay back previous investment from Blackstone, a New York-based investment giant.
