I'll drive any national journalist around Portland for a day and night, plus parking @ $16, Asian fusion food cart @ $21, 2 craft brews @$14 on a converted double decker bus in the Pearl District, a gourmet hot dog @$15... and we can dance in front of the ICE facility at night. Deal?

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Making people feel they need to carry citizenship papers.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

NEWS: James Comey pleaded not guilty to criminal charges that followed President Trump’s demand to prosecute.

The judge set a Jan. 5 trial date — but Comey is expected to try to kill the case before it starts, including by disqualifying Lindsey Halligan

Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson: "This president is unstable, unhinged, a double-minded individual that quite frankly is a threat to our democracy. It's certainly not the first time that Donald Trump has called for the arresting of a Black man unjustly."

Stephen Miller said the quiet part out loud. Trump has “plenary authority,” then suddenly went silent. Their plan wasn’t to be public yet. Clearly, someone hit the panic button in his earpiece.

It gets weirder: CNN uploaded the interview with the “plenary authority” comment edited out.

Thanks for sharing that, Shawn 🙏
I've never seen that skit.

Sadly, this is the only clip that I could find of Fred Armisen's "Jasper the Parrot" SNL skit.
