The defense of Trump in this statement is that forecasts through September 1, when he made his comments about Alabama being likely to get hit hard, showed the "possibility" of Alabama getting tropical storm-force winds. As of the time Trump spoke, that possibility was...5-10%. https://t.co/JFbYOEhxw2 — PolitiTweet.org

As evidence that he was correct Sunday when he said new information showed Alabama was likely to be hit, the president tweeted a map from days prior about how there was a 5% to 20% chance that a part of Alabama would experience tropical storm-force winds. — PolitiTweet.org

Harris alleged last night that the Trump admin has secretly shipped nuclear waste to Yucca Mountain in the middle of the night. It has not sent any nuclear waste to Yucca. It has moved plutonium, not waste, to another Nevada site without state knowledge: https://t.co/sYfb5xigJz — PolitiTweet.org

WASHINGTON — Calling the media “fake,” the president tweeted more old maps he said proved him right when he falsely said new information showed Alabama being hit by Hurricane Dorian, falsely claiming he had been referring to such old information the whole time. https://t.co/cBkF6TL88m — PolitiTweet.org

Buttigieg said Syria's war was partly caused by climate change, and O'Rourke omitted the "partly." They didn't make this up; some climate scientists have come to that conclusion. But other scholars say the evidence isn't there. Brief rundown on the debate: https://t.co/sYfb5xigJz — PolitiTweet.org

Some of the most entertaining moments fact-checking Trump have come when I've had to inform some poor spokesperson or expert who doesn't deal with presidents that they're gonna have to comment on the president. — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

There's such a weird list of obscure and distant entities that Trump has forced into commenting on his dishonesty. I like to imagine the internal response meetings at these places -- the Boy Scouts! Finland! the South Florida Water Management District! https://t.co/6IrGNa1AQ0 — PolitiTweet.org

@IanSams Got it! I’d just disagree that it is bad fact-checking practice to point out that candidate did not sue a company she said she sued. — PolitiTweet.org

For the record, here Harris's spokesman on my fact check of her inaccurate claim to have sued ExxonMobil: https://t.co/KlLqRV8OT3 — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

When she became a senator in 2017, Harris left the Exxon matter to her successor, who has faced pressure to pick it up. Unlike the AG of New York, neither of them has sued the company. https://t.co/iVEb4wDZNu — PolitiTweet.org

Asked last night if she’d sue ExxonMobil as president, Kamala Harris had a sharp response: “I *have* sued ExxonMobil.” She hasn’t. She opened an investigation, but that’s where it ended; she’s sued other oil companies, but notably not Exxon: https://t.co/tdGC7K8iGH — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

Trump’s whole point on Sunday was that Alabama had not originally been anticipated to be hit but that it “just came up” that it now might be. He’s now saying — obviously falsely — he had been talking Sunday about the original forecasts that no longer applied at the time. https://t.co/A8Qg5yN1nu — PolitiTweet.org

Daniel Dale @ddale8

The president claims he was “accurate” for warning Alabama on Sunday that it’d just emerged it might be hit hard by the hurricane, even though no major forecast showed that at the time, because he has found one model from days prior where Alabama was “hit or grazed.” https://t.co/92KywQ147x — PolitiTweet.org

I’m just using the words he used, and he said “oil.” (Thanks everyone for your replies, particularly the military people.) https://t.co/teEEl4Mz1e — PolitiTweet.org

@stanveuger @nealemahoney Thanks Stan. — PolitiTweet.org

Andrew Yang told a story tonight he said was "secondhand" and he couldn't verify: at the end of the fiscal year, a fighter pilot flies over the Pacific and dumps oil, to use it up, so they don't have the budget cut next year. If anyone has any insights here, please let me know? — PolitiTweet.org

The president tweeted an Aug. 28 storm map from a Florida water district to demand for a media apology for reporting that federal authorities said he was wrong when he declared Sept. 1 that it "just came up" that Alabama was likely to be hit harder than first anticipated. — PolitiTweet.org

@LeslieKFoster ? I've spent three years fact-checking Trump daily. Democratic candidates also need to be fact-checked — PolitiTweet.org

The US is ranked 10th in the world in air quality in the Environmental Performance Index. It’s tied for first on drinking water but 29th overall on water and sanitation. It became the #1 energy producer under Obama, whom Trump accuses of perpetrating a war on energy. https://t.co/H6XeGoSvGG — PolitiTweet.org

CNN is running seven hours of climate change town halls with 10 Democratic candidates, starting now with Julian Castro. Feel free to let me know if you think you hear any false or dubious claims. — PolitiTweet.org

Updates: - Source at DHS, of which FEMA is a part, tells CNN that DHS didn’t bring that map - CNN Weather says 1/10th of one county in south Alabama was included in one Dorian forecast on Friday, but that map does not resemble the one Trump showed https://t.co/N1Sy4V5ukx — PolitiTweet.org
