According to the Worst "President" Ever,
Portland is “burning to the ground.”

The reality feels a lot different.
But how can you be sure?
A new website, isportlandburning.com
answers the question.

How?
Live cameras of the city,
fact-checked claims &
a live map of fire incidents in the city.

Is Portland Burning?

No. See real-time Portland cameras, PulsePoint incidents, and sourced fact checks.

From Donald Trump's Roundtable on Antifa just now —
"Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost 100 years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany."

I have officially confirmed a meeting with Kirill Dmitriev, Special Envoy to the President of Russia, for later this month.
It is important, not just for my fellow Americans, but to the world, that we continue to foster the relationship and conversations of peace and trade between Russia and the United States as President Trump has so openly called for.
Our two countries do not need to be enemies. Allies in trade benefit everyone. I know I am not the only member of Congress or American who believes that maintaining this open dialogue is essential.
As elected officials, we owe this not just to our own people, but to humanity to ensure that talk of peace and a willingness to extend an olive branch be maintained and never ends, as war is the default to failed policy.
My colleagues and I look forward to this meeting.

The war in Gaza ended 6 to 9 months ago. It’s been pure genocide—a straight-up slaughter-and-starvation campaign—since then. Under no circumstances should anyone pretend that Netanyahu is still fighting a “war” just so that Trump can get a photo op and say he “ended” it.

Do better, corporate media.

The Atlantic @theatlantic.com · 1h

Trump’s Gaza peace plan does not resolve all the issues, @yair-rosenberg.bsky.social argues. "But Trump is counting on the force of his personality, the exhaustion of the parties, and the momentum created by the initial agreement to ultimately end the war entirely."
