Every single one of these clips was taken today in downtown Portland. Portland doesn’t want or need a federal takeover. If Trump insists on sending federal “resources” he can start with funding health care, bridges, affordable housing, and wildfire protection to name a few.

I do not believe people should be shot. I do not believe in dehumanizing others, certainly not for profit or power. These beliefs would not bond me to Mr. Kirk. For those who are hurting, I wish space to grieve and, I hope, to reflect on how these beliefs may apply in the society we share.

Republicans renew a bid to remove noncitizens from the census tally behind voting maps
GOP lawmakers are trying again to exclude millions of non-U.S. citizens living in the states from census counts that the 14th Amendment says must include the "whole number of persons in each state."

Th sanwashing continues. I have yet to hear a media report describe Trump’s behavior in relation to Iran as anything other than just (his!) normal negotiation strategy. Excuse me, it is ERRATIC. Not normal! He is not some savant negotiator.

Reporter Tells Trump To His Face That The Media Sanewashes Him
This was a fascinating moment as Trump rambled on with his 60 Minutes/Kamala Harris conspiracy theory, a reporter reminded Trump that the media sanewashes him every day.

No need to watch US-produced films until this BS is shut down. The world is producing a lot of great films and art that are well worth the time and extra cash to experience them.

We are in deep shit.
Having watched with growing alarm the developments of the last 24 and 36 hours in Washington, I thought I’d take a stab at how the US media would cover this story if it was happening in a foreign country. Here’s that story that should be written this weekend: www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/musk-s-jun...

@carlbergstrom.com is right--this is bad, very bad. Yes, we're in the shock and awe phase of the Trump Administration, but that quip obscures the real damage that is now being done to biomedicine in America in real time in front of our eyes.
Today the Trump admin abruptly and indefinitely terminated many of the activities of the National Institutes of Health, the $50B/year collection of agencies that power the US biotech and health ecosystems. Even if these orders were lifted tomorrow, the disruption would be enormous.

Why should the public care about the freeze on the NIH? Aside from the need for scientific pursuits to make our society better…
-For every dollar we invest in NIH research, there is a $2.5 return.
-Research dollars help fund universities that employ non-academics. (1/)

Thousands of doctors urge Senate to block RFK Jr. as health secretary for Trump administration
Their letter calls the choice of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who is known for promoting false medical claims, “a slap in the face” to health care professionals.
