This activity is not only bad policy; it's seriously bad politics. There is no doubt that Trump's approval numbers nose-dived after his Lafayette Square debacle. It turns out that Americans aren't keen on their citizens being tear-gassed and having the military mobilized against them. How do you think they are going to react to this secret-police style of policy in Portland? When asked about it, Ken Cuccinelli, the head of DHS, made it clear they intend to continue and take the tactic nationwide. That's just brilliant.

The biggest problem Trump has is that he has effectively alienated everyone but his base, and there are not enough of them to get him elected.

This woman is going to take away money from school systems that don't reopen to classroom teaching.

And of course the Biden campaign is trying to keep Biden from going off script!
