If I were the Mayor of Portland and I had access to any street cameras, I would make their feed public. I might go so far as to create a mosaic of the various camera feeds showing reality in Portland. And then I would call a news conference to talk about it. With the URL to the feed and or a QR

Again, this is not what needs to be done. "Why are you breaking the law & violating the Constitution & your oath of office?" is the question. When he doesn't answer it, the next journalist needs to ask it, & then the next one, & the one after that. Stop giving him & John Thune free passes every day.

FOX: You said last week that you would swear in Grijalva whenever she wants. She has written a letter to your office. You have not sworn her in. Doesn't your resistance add fuel to the fire that this is about Epstein?

MIKE JOHNSON: No. This is another partisan manufactured thing

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

One thing I actually don’t understand is how Jones has not been booted out of everything he owns and his business stuff sold. Watching families losing everything to medical debts, they were able to keep up to $7k of business equipment so they could work. Why is Jones different? Garnish his income!

I'm sorry, is the Trump Administration talking to a tech platform?

Is it...requesting content moderation?
Today following outreach from @thejusticedept, Facebook removed a large group page that was being used to dox and target @ICEgov agents in Chicago. The wave of violence against ICE has been driven by online apps and social media campaigns designed to put ICE officers at risk just for doing their jobs. The Department of Justice will continue engaging tech companies to eliminate platforms where radicals can incite imminent violence against federal law enforcement.

Let’s make a deal with the most corrupt president in U.S. history— Donald Trump.

Farmers grow what they grow because of farm policy.

We don’t need all the soy and corn that we grow, but those are the commodities that receive subsidies and markets.

If we want something better, if we want to heal the Earth and grow food, now is the time to do it.

California just banned employers from forcing workers to pay a debt, fee, or penalty to leave their job.

Bosses have increasingly been trapping workers with debts incurred in training and other exploitative fees.

Now that's illegal in the nation's biggest state.

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

The questions remain. Why did White House border czar Tom Homan accept a bag with $50,000 cash? Who was it from? What was promised in exchange? Why did the DOJ close the investigation? How does bribery and corruption make America great? www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Pressed on Tom Homan controversy, JD Vance and Pam Bondi struggle to answer
The attorney general and the vice president confronted straightforward questions about the scandal surrounding the border czar. Both Republicans struggled.
