BRENNAN: What percentage of those you have in custody have committed crimes?

NOEM: 70% of them

B: It's not 70%

N: Yes it is. You guys pick and choose numbers

B: Your agency says 47% have criminal convictions

N: Wrong again. We'll get you the correct numbers

B: Well, that's from your agency

The Trump administration is attempting to intimidate Minneapolis by ordering around 1,500 active-duty soldiers to prepare for a possible deployment to Minnesota.
Pentagon readies 1,500 troops for potential Minnesota deployment, US officials say
The army placed the units on prepare-to-deploy orders in case violence in the midwestern state escalates, officials said, though it is not clear whether any of them will be sent.

It's one of those nights the state of things is weighing heavy on me. Don't know how to keep my love, my family safe. And disheartened by the people that seem happy with how things are

My father has been very conservative all my life, very church going. He is also old enough that he remembers WW2 Germany as his family left that country before it. He's making comparisons between that government and this one. That should be a warning

My father, who is in his late 80's and has been a conservative republican for as long as I can remember, told me he is registering as a Democrat because he can't countenance the actions of the republican party anymore.

Im nearly 50. Just a few more weeks. With the state of the world, and my life...I find myself wondering if any of it has been worth a damn... just feeling alone tonight I guess.

Right now, in this very moment, I'm feeling "worth it" it's something I've struggled with a lot in life. But right now, I feel it. Thank you for helping me see that
