Mayor Ted Wheeler was tear gassed in downtown Portland early Thursday morning, according to video and posts on Twitter from a New York Times journalist. The video shows Wheeler, in distress as a cloud of tear gas drifts by him. "It stings. It's hard to breathe. I can tell you with 100% honesty I saw nothing that provoked this response," Wheeler said to the Times camera. "I'm not afraid but I am pissed off."
The video appeared to come after Wheeler joined crowds to listen to protesters and answer their questions in response to violent clashes between demonstrators and federal forces, whose camouflage, troop-like uniforms and aggressive tacticshave exacerbated the protests.

"It will probably, unfortunately, get worse before it gets better,"
"Something I don't like saying about things, but that's the way it is." ...Trump read grimly from a script during a subdued news conference on Tuesday.
The admission became the first in a series of remarkable about-faces this week for a President ordinarily loath to course correct. After spending the last month in denial about the worst health crisis in a century and downplaying a surge in coronavirus cases by falsely claiming it was artificially juiced by increased testing, Trump this week -- prodded by aides and sinking poll numbers -- has tried to show Americans he is taking the pandemic seriously.

(CNN) As he tried to rescue his reelection campaign this week, President Trump seemed to be in full retreat on key coronavirus topics - - from the efficacy of mask-wearing to the risks of holding the GOP convention in Florida. The one exception was school reopenings, which he has insisted must happen in person this fall. Of all the mind-bending coronavirus decisions that Trump has made, the political risks of his back-to-school gamble are perhaps the greatest. At a time when he is struggling with shrinking support among women, moderates and seniors, he is urging parents to send their children back into the classroom even though much is still unknown about the long-term risks to their health and how rapidly they could spread it to vulnerable adults, including grandparents and teachers.

Trump's team dodges virus blame while jobless benefit cuts loom
CNN, Mon July 27, 2020
President Donald Trump's top aides are stepping up blame-game tactics against the states, saying coronavirus testing problems and rising cases are not his fault as they try to counter new polls suggesting that his leadership failings could cost him reelection.
The new administration drive to absolve Trump of responsibility and to speed up economic activity by encouraging people to go back to work follow the President's previously misjudged gamble to goad states that are now suffering terribly from the pandemic to open before they had properly suppressed the virus. It also coincides with his demands that all schools open while ignoring concerns of parents and teachers.

Covid-19 relief bills show that Trump is a failure at negotiating
Opinion by Charlie Dent Updated 6:44 PM ET, Mon July 27, 2020
Now, with Senate Republicans releasing their proposal - - the HEALS Act -- on Monday afternoon, it's clear that President Donald Trump, who has long touted his own negotiation skills, has already made major concessions, including sacrificing his payroll tax cut and agreeing to additional billions for coronavirus testing. As these negotiations continue, millions of Americans are suffering from both the economic and health toll of the pandemic. And despite splits within the party, Republicans are keenly aware that their prospects for holding onto power are diminishing each day. https://tinyurl.com/yypgj7ok

There are a lot of awful Republican governors in this country, with only a handful (in Maryland and Massachusetts) taking the coronavirus pandemic seriously from the start. But most have been forced to reverse course in the face of this new wave of infections, even in places like Arizona and Texas, with the Trumpiest governors.
Yet two states stand out in their continued refusal to acknowledge the dangers of the pandemic.

You continually reference links to tinymind.com. I don't think that is a website you should be promoting.

It's a simple tool to shorten otherwise very long URLs (links from other sources) down to a tiny size so that a "source link" can fit neatly on just one line. So simple in fact, I'll bet even YOU could figure out how to use it.
