This intro is actually about how Trump's new asylum policy isn't stopping the caravans.

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:02 am

Earhardt: But that is not stopping three separate caravans from marching closer to our border.

Kilmeade: The numbers are tremendous.

Here's the Ingraham tweet from last night.

Times fit.

Left, Fox & Friends, 6:00 am

"Members of the Homeland Security appropriations committee set to discuss what are the best ways to secure our nation's borders. A major obstacle in their way is getting House Speaker Nancy Pelosi on board."

Right, Trump, 6:49 am
That's followed with a clip of a GOP rep saying: "It's gotta be a serious, credible offer. Her only credible offer -- not credible, the only offer she put on the table up until now is a dollar. What's Nancy Pelosi willing to put on the table?" Video:
(Rep. is Steve Scalise; comment from an interview on yesterday's Your World with Neil Cavuto on Fox)
The other option would be that he's inverted the two segments and is responding to the F&F proposal to prevent a shutdown.

Love all the native advertising about the need for wealth taxes and higher marginal income tax brackets.
tbh this whole section should be reported as an in-kind donation to the Warren campaign.
Why should I, a normal person who definitely should not face a higher tax bill, spend $240 million on a NYC penthouse when I could instead buy 2 Monte Carlo Pink Mansions or both three "gigantic quail plantations in Georgia" AND three San Francisco penthouses?

It's quite simple. If journalists want to the president to stop calling them the enemy of the people, all they have to do is act like Sean Hannity.
I kind of want to see what happens if a reporter were to ask Trump to name a negative but accurate story about him or his administration.

Never appearing in public again is an interesting choice for James Dolan to make.

Trump admin is enforcing a new asylum policy today. Here's what it does:

-Refugees & border-crossers seeking asylum based on fear of domestic or gang violence will be immediately rejected
-Asylum seekers w/ legitimate fears of persecution will be rejected if they cross illegally
This defies international law, which states that asylum claims are valid even when a person enters a country illegally (because finding a legal entry point is generally lower on the priority list than NOT DYING).

Re. the Trump admin's new asylum policy: "When you put it all together, this is his grand scheme to just close any possibility for people seeking protection — legally — to claim that protection that they can under the law."

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
