This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.

Iβm a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason.
Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.
"[A]gents engulfed my car in tear gas, smashed my driver-side window, and pepper-sprayed my face.... I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. No explanation. No charges. No apology. One day, I was just told, 'youβre free to go.'" #KavanaughStop

All because Trump saw a video of the 2020 Floyd George protests on Fox and was confused that it is happening now. At some point Fox has to be held accountable for the disinfo they feed to the old man President

During the Obama administration, Oregon Republicans were convinced the federal black helicopters were coming for them at any moment. Today theyβre posting videos of black helicopters over Portland & cheering giddily about it. They hate their senator who is speaking out against the black helicopters.

seriously, engaging with data would force them to come to terms that they were wrong. That isn't what pundits do. The best you can hope is they will become hypocrites and start attacking Democrats for doing the thing they said to do (and pundits love attacking Democrats)

Trump Canceled 94 Million Pounds of Food Aid. Hereβs What Never Arrived.
ProPublica obtained records from the Department of Agriculture that detail the millions of pounds of food, down to the number of eggs, that never reached food banks because of the administrationβs cut...
The Trump administration has cancelled 4,304 deliveries to food banks so far this year, refusing to deliver 94 million pounds of contracted-for food. Food banks simply canβt feed people enough anymore. Millions of Americans are going hungry as a result.

Kaepernick-Funded Autopsy Reportedly Finds Trey Reed Didnβt Die by Suicide β Family Attorney Ben Crump Hasnβt Confirmed
According to a source who isn't authorized to comment publicly, the autopsy of Trey Reed reveals that his death was not caused by a suicide.
Trey Reed, a student at Delta State University in Mississippi, was found hanging from a noose. Mississippi police ruled the death a suicide. Now an autopsy reportedly concludes that he suffered extensive blunt force trauma across his body before he died, meaning he was beaten before he was lynched.
