My other colleague @joshscampbell is also on the scene in Minneapolis. He just reported that police approached him, asked him who he was with, he said CNN. And they say “ok, you’re good.” This is minutes after Omar, who is black and Latino, was arrested nearby.

Everything Trump does is a distraction.

He wants you to focus on anything other than the pain of 100,000 U.S. deaths and the 41 million jobless claims since the start of the #coronavirus crisis.

He's been an astronomical failure and a terrible example who must be voted out. pic.twitter.com/FfJbUA8eql

Another way to say this is that the Trump administration is still using a drug *pushed by Trump's donors* to treat veterans, even after discovering the drug *kills COVID-19 patients* and has no therapeutic benefit.

Why is Georgia appearing to do so well with COVID-19?

Because its government is lying.

Georgia improperly inflated its testing numbers by 78,000 and is counting COVID-19 hospitalizations only of people who tested positive WHILE HOSPITALIZED. https://t.co/qNJRKSGFKd

Lots of talk of agents provocateurs on here. Evidence is needed but I wouldn't dismiss it.

During the "Battle of Miami," I personally saw a hoodie-clad protester throw a can at a line of riot cops and then retreat, pull out a badge on a lanyard and run behind a police line.

This is really important. Florida is cooking the books on COVID-19 deaths. Look at the excess death rate. In Florida the number of deaths from Covid so far are likely 3200 more than they are saying.
