NEW: We reviewed 700+ videos, hours of footage from ICE protesters and counterprotesters in Portland.
In 2 months before Trump said he was sending the National Guard, federal officers fire on, grab, pepper-spray or tear gas people 20 times -- without charging anyone. "Gratuitous," one expert said.

I don’t care who Chuck voted for; I need to know who Joe and Eileen Bailey voted for!!
For anyone in NYC waiting to hear who Chuck Schumer voted for to see how to vote, apparently he isn’t saying so you’ll just have to pick for yourself.

A UPS cargo plane crashed. At least 3 people are dead, if not more. The air smells horrible, and big pieces of ash are falling in my yard.
