Almost too perfect. "Anonymous" is Miles Taylor, the former chief of staff to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, who served during the implementation of family separation and personally defended the Muslim ban
Taylor then quietly joined Google as "head of national security policy engagement" buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanma…
As of September, Taylor has been a paid CNN contributor talkingbiznews.com/we-talk-biz-ne…
Taylor was also named in a whistleblower complaint earlier this year that alleged DHS officials pressured staff to modify intelligence assessments to suit President Trump cnn.com/2020/09/09/pol…
Taylor also apparently lied about not being Anonymous on air to the network he's now paid to contribute to

After a federal task force killed the self-described antifa activist Michael Reinoehl on Sept. 3, President Trump praised it as “retribution.” Our new investigation raises doubts about whether officers made any attempt to arrest Reinoehl before killing him nytimes.com/2020/10/13/us/…
Based on interviews with 22 people who lived nearby and Lt. Ray Brady, the commander of the investigation team, we’ve reconstructed what happened. What we found suggests that officers may have opened fire without warning or even seeing a gun.
Reinoehl was a fixture at racial justice protests in Portland since the May 25 killing of George Floyd by Minneapolis police, often carrying a gun and providing security. On Aug. 29, a man who looked like Reinoehl shot and killed far-right protester Aaron J. Danielson. Image

Seems clear there were at least two explosions in the Beirut port area, the second one far more massive than the first and likely touched off by it. Lots of rumors circulating as to the source.

What happened when Trump sent Homeland Security officers to Portland this month? Our latest video shows how the president’s task force reignited protests and led to chaos in the streets. Thread:
nytimes.com/video/us/10000…
