I am a student at Brown University. There is an active shooting situation on campus. While some news sites have reported the suspect in custody this is not true. At 5:51 EST the school said the situation is ongoing and to keep sheltering in place. We’ve heard lots of emergency responders.

Even though President Trump says a suspect is in custody, Brown University just sent out an alert urging people to continue to shelter in place as the situation is ongoing.
Brown University is NOT saying, yet, that a suspect is in custody.

It’s abhorrent and dangerous for the President of the States to post that the mass shooter at Brown University is in custody when in fact they were not.

Trump is causing mass confusion right now amid an active shooter situation at Brown University. Trump posted that the suspect was in custody, but Brown University and media reports say that is not true and that the situation remains active.

Donald Trump is lying. Providence Police, in cooperation with Brown University Police, are still searching - room by fucking room - Brown University buildings.

Trump is live tweeting the Brown University mass shooting, and he isn’t even getting the details correct.
This is appalling.
People are scared. Families aren’t sure if their kids have been hurt.
The President must let law enforcement do their job.
Someone take away his phone.

The fever dream is to use tariffs to pay off the national debt. In other words, tax the poor to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy.

Good morning and happy Friday to everyone. Now Fat Satan wants all foreign tourists to provide their social media histories from the last five years to enter the country. It will be all of us to stay in this country before you know it. Fuck this guy.

It's not just social media. Looks like visitors to the US from Europe and other countries that are part of the visa waiver program will have to submit an enormous amount of data about themselves and their families, including DNA, if proposed new rules are accepted

Buttigieg on Indiana: "The big part of how Trumpism works is to make you feel totally disempowered. To make him feel inevitable. And yet the clear takeaway from this is he is not unstoppable and you are not without power."

In addition to 5 years of social media history, CBP would also require tourists to provide all phone numbers used over that period, any email addresses used in the past decade, DNA and iris scans, and the names, addresses, birthdates and birthplaces of family members

NEW POLL: Trump at an all-time low on the economy.
Instead of waking up and doing the right thing for Americans, he’s bellyaching about why we aren’t grateful for the stock market that we’ve watched him manipulate for his rich buddies with his on-and-off tariffs.
The disconnect in one graphic.
