If our TV networks had not been captured by the right wing, some very easy journalism would be to play this clip besides a very not on fire Portland and then tell viewers that the President of the United States is living in an alternate reality.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

GOP dirty deeds

The Associated Press @apnews.com · 1d

Democrats are ramping up the pressure on House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat who won a special election last month to succeed her late father.

Who is Adelita Grijalva and what is the controversy over her being sworn in to Congress?

Democrats are ramping up pressure on Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson to swear in the newest member of Congress.
