Keep watching - Trump and his circle almost have their precious goal: invoking the Insurrection Act.
As per said before: a great deal of what is being done is simply Trump and his circle working backwards from this objective.

Well. My 12 years as an officer in the US Army Chemical Corps, my 6 years as CBRN advisor in the White House, my 6 years in the US Secret Service in chemical/biological countermeasures, my vast record of published work, and all of the books on, erm, what's actually in smoke grenades. For a start.
On what are you basing your assertions that the US government is using a harmless coloring agent rather than the toxic gas deployed previously?

Bizarre. If you offer officials the chance to speak on camera and they decline, it isn't your job to hold a critical story until they change their minds. The right of reply is not a right to delay.

Can I just say, as I've seen a few posts along these lines, it's a logical fallacy to suggest that because you're criticised by both sides you must be being neutral or impartial.
One (or both) sides may be criticising unfairly or in bad faith. Indeed, they very often are.
Please don't do this.
