I just got home from shopping in “bombed out” #Portland and I didn’t see one fire, or fight, or any boarded up windows! Just a vibrant colorful city filled with awesome restaurants and stores, all open for business! Even saw some new ones I want to check out!

Is Portland Burning?

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

Turns out the “party of fiscal responsibility” can’t even pay for its own parties. Leaked racist chats and $23K in unpaid hotel bills later, NY’s Young Republicans have gone full Titanic under Peter Giunta.

Young Republicans busted for racist chat stiffed NY hotel on booze, food bill after 'lavish' party

Besides thousands of leaked chat messages left behind by a group of young Republicans, members of the New York State branch also left unpaid bills from "extravagant gatherings" before the group…

Trump “wants us to believe that Portland, Oregon, in my home state, is full of chaos and riots. Because if he can say to the American people that there are riots, he can say there’s a rebellion. And if there’s a rebellion, he can use that to strengthen his authoritarian grip on our nation.”

There are people so incomprehensibly stupid that they actually believe that this ear was torn apart by a high-velocity round from an AR-15, and that it healed— without the tiniest scar— in a matter of days.

These are the same people who were allowed to choose our President.

#ICEMonsters are terrorizing our fellow human beings, in our name.

Notice how these little kids all report being attacked by “Soldiers.”

Bc they can’t tell the difference between the U.S. military & ICE/CBP.

And neither can we, they are all the same now.

I am completely awestruck by the ease with which Mike Johnson lies on a daily basis. I'll never understand how such a transparently fraudulent "man of faith" can live with themselves. Life is too short to be that phony.

Donald Trump is sending soldiers into American cities.

Federal agents are acting on Trump and Stephen Miller's agenda, disappearing loved ones and taking away our due process — trampling on the rights generations of Americans fought to secure.

That's Trump's America.

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

I watched an interview w/ this man by a local Portland station and it was heart wrenching. He was holding a teddy bear as he recounted the abuse by ice/dhs agents.

Abusing this man is next level evil. Those agents deserve all the hate coming to them when this story makes the national news.

ICE is stockpiling arms, including chemical weapons, guided missile warheads and explosive components. The spending dwarfs anything we've ever seen in the agency - a 700% increase.

The President is building an army to attack his own country.

BREAKING

President Trump is demanding that the DOJ pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Any settlement will ultimately be approved by senior department officials who defended him or those in his orbit.

I.C.E. is stockpiling weapons of war because the federal government is waging war on our neighbors and friends.

The President of the United States has repeatedly referred to them as vermin and “the enemy within.”

This is America’s future. Dark days ahead. 🇺🇸

TRUMP (FIRST TERM): Look at me! I'm refusing my $400,000 presidential salary—and only making tens of millions shaking down foreign nationals at my DC hotel!

TRUMP (SECOND TERM): Put $230 million in an unmarked bag or the country gets a *fucking* shiv in the jugular. Schnell! Schnell, motherfucker!
