Another huge crowd tonight in Portland, including a new "wall" on the front lines: a Wall of Vets.
Here's a look at the line of military veterans getting set up here in front of the federal courthouse. Behind them, the Wall of Moms and the Wall of Dads are arriving.
UNREAL. After seeing protestors taken off streets of Portland in unmarked cars, US Navy vet Christopher David approached fed officers, reminding them of their oath of office…THIS is how they responded! Mr. David, thank you for standing your ground & speaking up for what’s right!
Political implications for the Trump admin aside, it's hard to overstate what a major escalation this is from Russia. Election meddling and the occasional poisoning are one thing. Paying the Taliban to kill American troops, that's something entirely new. https://t.co/9wGVNo8Cjx
BREAKING: The Supreme Court has upheld DACA — handing a dramatic victory to immigration advocates and allowing the program that has permitted about 650,000 "Dreamers" to stay and work in the U.S. legally to continue. https://t.co/B7iz9fZJLU
Wonderful headline in tomorrow's London Times
'Uninformed Trump has to ask if the UK is a Nuclear Power'
You'd have thought that after three years as President...
We must strive for a better U.S. of America. As @RepCummings said " We are better than this!" @FrankBruni right. Trump is a Bigot in the White House who "with a wink" stokes the fires of hate in the worst elements of our great nation then lies about it. https://t.co/bgPC0wqZ2z
The Supreme Court is a LIFETIME appointment. I refuse to proceed as normal with the Kavanaugh hearings when we haven't even received the documents Chairman Grassley has asked for.
What is the rush? What are they hiding?
Here's why documents are important: Brett Kavanaugh's records from his time in the White House would show whether or not he lied to Congress during his previous hearing.
Republicans and the White House are doing all they can to conceal those records. #WhatAreTheyHiding
On the eve of Labor Day weekend, only days before the start of Brett Kavanaugh’s hearing, @realDonaldTrump announced he would stop the Senate from reviewing over 100k pages of Kavanaugh’s records from the White House Counsel’s Office. #WhatAreTheyHiding https://t.co/P7ycQBamvs
The Puerto Rican government just updated the official death count for Hurricane Maria from 64 to 2,975 people. @realDonaldTrump and his Administration utterly failed in their response, and US citizens died. That's the appalling, tragic reality.
Re-reading a very interesting book by the philosoper Aaron James. It's a psychological investigation of the mental processes of the typical "Asshole"
The asshole's chief characteristic seems to be a belief that no rules apply to him. He becomes aggressive if this is challenged
I feel like we've been invaded by a culture that doesn't share our values - Trump supporters. I long ago gave up asking "What would it take for them to turn...?", but this McCain gracelessness, Jesus. MY hat says "Really? That's your guy?"
As a human being I’m aware that we are all physically, mentally and emotionally the same and we all want to live a happy life. Scientists say our basic nature is compassionate. It’s clear that love and affection bring people together.
I keep imagining what it must be like being an American who puts his or her life on the line in the nation's service -- military, CIA, etc. -- knowing that the Commander-in-chief is a criminal and almost surely a foreign collaborator
