If you're wondering why Trump is quiet this morning on the shooting in Kenosha, it appears to have been carried up by a 17 year-old white boy from IL who was playing militia along with far-righters who infiltrated peaceful protests. Waiting for media confirmation.
What's more disturbing, similar to videos and reporting out of Portland on Saturday with police and Proud Boys, it appears officers in Kenosha may have been allied with the militia and hate groups who came to peaceful protest. Again, waiting for media confirmation of videos.
It appears the white militia organized to come to Kenosha on Facebook in a "call to arms."

David Williams, former USPS Inspector General and former Vice Chair of the USPS Board of Governors testified that Mnuchin and the White House were behind the slowdown in mail. This is the exact opposite of what DeJoy said today under oath!

Williams said he resigned "when it became clear to me that the administration was politicizing the Postal Service with the treasury secretary as the lead figure for the White House in that effort."
Williams: Trump "was determined that the Postal Service should inflict harm on Amazon delivery by sharply raising parcel shipping prices on everyone by 400% or more."

McConnell adjourned the Senate until Sept 14. An entire month. No relief bill passed in the Senate. He wasn't even involved in negotiating one. He just left. With tens of millions not getting a $600 a week payment. He just left. With long lines at food banks. He just left.
"Last month, the US Census Bureau published polling showing almost 30 million Americans (about 12% of the 249 million respondents) said they did not have enough to eat at some point before July 21. About 5.4 million said they "often" didn't have sufficient food."
