Trump is going to continue to do everything in his power to try to incite violence somewhere. If Portland and Chicago don’t work, he’ll probably go to New York.

He’s looking for a reason to invoke the Insurrection Act.

We already found the line - he briefly wanted to raise taxes on millionaires and they told him absolutely fucking not.

Everything else appears to be fair game.

NYT will not sign the Pentagon's press policy.

It's a clear attempt to restrict access to information and control how the administration is portrayed. Every org and journalist should refuse to sign this affront to the 1stA.

Why is KEGSETH such a pathetic, incompetent ‘leader?’

There are very rational explanations for why we treat undocumented (or in the case of TPS, documented) migrants in our hospitals.

But why does anyone care that we provide medical assistance to someone here who’s hurting, or dying?

It’s just the moral thing to do.

CNN searched for ANTIFA in Portland, here's what they found: Bananas, Frogs, a Unicorn, dance parties, and a guy who doesn't know what any of this is and just wants ICE to leave. (Also look how they treated reporter Shimon Prokupecz.)

They're stopping wind and solar because the president is an idiot who doesn't understand how anything works, doesn't try to learn, and assumes he knows more than all the experts about almost everything that he knows nothing about.

Also because Big Oil gives him lots of money.

Schatz: They’re stopping wind and solar because this guy has some very strange ideas about the energy mix. And it’s consistent with the rest of his political and economic philosophy — if there’s less of everything, it gives him more authority to dole out favors
