It's not lost on me that the part of the White House we are destroying is the part that has to do with women's history in the White House.

Trump: "By the way, a friend of mine called us the other day and he said 'I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have because of the Democrat shutdown. I'd like to contribute any shortfall you have with the military.' Today, he sent us a check for $130 million. It's gonna go the military."

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Because Faux is “entertainment” they are not even entertaining journalistic standards. This guy makes a mockery of the “News” in the channel’s title.
Last week Jesse Watters spoke to man named Eric who claimed he was formerly a member of antifa. Two years ago Watters interviewed Ramon "Mundo" Mendoza, a former Mexican Mafia member. Some folks thought the men looked similar. This is a side by side comparison. 🤷♀️

I might say that the FBI can’t do that because the FBI lacks jurisdiction, but we all know that this administration doesn’t care about following the law. Unless you’re a brown-skinned person, of course, then you must follow the law, while they make their own rules.
Sen. John Cornyn said FBI agents had been assigned to help Texas law enforcement track down the more than 50 Democratic lawmakers who left the state amid a messy redistricting fight.
But it's unclear what steps the FBI is taking, if any.

What can the FBI do in Texas redistricting fight? Not much, experts say.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) has said the FBI granted his request to help bring Democratic lawmakers back to the state. But the bureau appears to have taken few concrete steps.
