Moving scene here outside St. Rita of Cascia Shrine Temple in Chicago where thousands of officers are gathered for the funeral of CPD Officer Ella French.
This line of folks outside East Palestine High School waiting for tonight’s Open House stretches down the block. A lot of anger & frustration here over the Norfolk Southern train derailment that sent cancer-causing chemicals into the air, ground, & water.

Shots fired at George Floyd Square in Minneapolis. It sounded like an exchange of gunfire with around 10 shots. Our crew evacuated the area and aren’t in a position to see more right now. I’ll update with more if/when we can.
This used car dealership in Kenosha that had dozens of cars completely burned out during riots last week now has signs posted asking “Where is our justice?” & “What did our community do to deserve this?” Another says “Help needed” and directs ppl to a GoFundMe page.
The 31st Rolling Thunder “Ride for Freedom” has begun! These are the first of what organizers estimate will be 400k motorcycles taking part in this demonstration to raise awareness of the 82k US soldiers who are still MIA.

Heavy police & SWAT response to what I’m told is a gunman barricaded in a store about 4 blocks from the DNC at the United Center in Chicago. Police chopper in the air, armored vehicle rolled up, SWAT team w/ shields.

Quite a sight as Air Force One arrives at Des Moines Intl Airport for President Trump’s rally tonight. At least several thousand people here on the tarmac after having their temperatures checked & being given masks to wear.
To those asking if the health concerns/alleged symptoms of those in East Palestine are real, I can say after spending the past week in the area they are...
This is a pic of 87 yr old Angie Engilsbee. 3 of her daughters just came to Wal Mart, one of them sobbing as she cried out “I just want to find my mom. I just want to know wher she is & if she’s still alive.” Angie came to the store this a.m. & they haven’t heard from her since.
Was it a "head"? Or was it a mask covered in ketchup? Do you actually think I used blood? Is this what you think? And it's actually been more than a year since that photo Garrett.
And if you want to talk about personal attacks go look up the statement Melania put out about me..

We’ve seen this across the city today. Folks coming from all over the area, bringing their own supplies from home, to help clean up the damage left behind after another night of riots in Minneapolis. No real organization to it -just ppl showing up & helping out wherever they can.
My crew & I have experienced various symptoms off and on since arriving - headaches, skin rashes/irritation, and a strong metallic taste in our mouths, to name a few….
That’s our experience sleeping in a hotel 30 mins away, while those who live here are in this environment 24/7 and their exposure to whatever is/could be causing those symptoms is constant…
A member of the family who owns the dealership tells me more than 100 cars were destroyed over 2 nights of riots. Around 90 were torched Sunday night & the couple dozen that survived were then torched during the riots Monday night. Estimates $2.5-million in losses.

The symptoms are varied and a little different for everyone we’ve spoken to, and some people say they feel perfectly fine. The frustrating part for so many is they just don’t know what’s causing these health issues. Is it chemical exposure? Seasonal illness? Random sickness?

Minneapolis voters have rejected a proposal that would’ve dismantled the city’s police dept & replaced it w/ a new Dept of Public Safety. This is a big blow to progressives & the defund/dismantle movement, who believed success here could pave the way for action in other cities.
Worth noting that just last night President Biden’s motorcade drove right past this strip mall on his way to the United Center for the DNC. It’s also just outside the expanded security perimeter that went up over the weekend.
Huge crowd here in Dubuque for

El Paso truly is such a unique & incredible city. After spending the past week here, I can honestly say few places are as welcoming, loving, & giving as this community. I’ve been inspired & uplifted by their examples amidst this horrific tragedy.

Outside Grace Lutheran Church, Jacob Blake’s uncle said Jacob Blake Sr called Joe Biden “A hell of a guy” after meeting w/ him & Jill Biden this afternoon in Kenosha. Said before Blake Sr could even bring it up Biden was taking to them about reforms he wants to make.
“They are operating with impunity, they are not afraid to be caught, they are not afraid to be prosecuted, they are not afraid to shoot people and they are doing it everywhere. It’s day and night, anytime, and that's why I am no longer a Chicago resident.”
