This ABC News memo about Trump-Harris debate is fabricated | Fact check

The memo is a fabrication. It originated on a satirical account.

LOS ANGELES, CA - APRIL 25: Canada geese fly over the San Gabriel River where the mosquitoes that can carry West Nile Virus are believed to have bred in previous seasons on April 25, 2007 in the Los Angeles, California metropolitan area community of Pico Rivera. Many birds and mammals are susceptible to the virus. California health officials announced this week that West Nile Virus season is starting earlier than usual because of an unusually warm March. Mosquitoes that   carry the virus have begun breeding earlier than usual and the West Nile Virus has been detected in mosquito pools, birds, or horses in eight California counties. Although the virus has not been detected in humans so far this year, 24 people have died and 1,200 sickened by the virus over the past two years in California. West Nile can be transmitted from infected birds, squirrels, and other animals to humans and animals such as horses through several varieties of female mosquitoes. The disease first appeared in the United States in 1999 in New York and killed hundreds of people during its westward expansion before gaining a firm foothold in California in 2004. In reaction to the early   start of West Nile Virus season, the California State Legislature this week declared April 23-29 "West Nile Virus and Mosquito and Vector Control Awareness Week". The effected counties include Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, Santa Clara, San Diego, Sonoma and Stanislaus. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)

The sun lights up a seagrass meadow close to the beach of Falckenstein, near Kiel, Germany, July 10, 2023. Europe alone lost one third of its seagrass areas between the 1860s and 2016, one 2019 study found, releasing carbon into the atmosphere and speeding up global warming. While there are other initiatives to restore the plants worldwide, the SeaStore Seagrass Restoration Project in Kiel, run   by the GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research is one of the first that aims to enable citizens to do so autonomously.
