White guy doesn't see white supremacy as a problem. Fox News

GOOD MORNING, PORTLAND! Nevertheless I'm hella fresh, rollin' joints like a cigarette. LET'S GO TO PRESS.

Trump is making uninvited visits today to horrific mass murder scenes (that he's partially responsible for) in both El Paso and Dayton. (He may accidentally show up in Toledo, though.)

While Republicans and Trump are considering "red flag" legislation that would deny guns to those with mental illness or a history of violence, it's pretty easy for mass shooters to work around the system.

In the racist screed from the El Paso shooter, the murderer touched on a common theme (at least with white supremacists): A fear of "the great replacement" or the extinction of the white race.

Speaking of white supremacists, Fox News Tucker Carlson is convinced that white supremacy is "a hoax"—no surprise there.

Texas Rep. Joaquin Castro is coming under fire from the right for tweeting out the names of 44 people in his district who are donating to Trump's campaign and therefore "fueling a campaign of hate."

Failed businessperson Donald Trump continues to play chicken with China, and the health of the global economy is at stake.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has slammed Moscow Mitch McConnell for a photo on social media that depicts seven white young men in "Team Mitch" T-shirts groping and choking a cardboard cutout of AOC.

In yet more Republican male toxicity: "A Montana man allegedly slammed a child's head to the ground at a county fair because he didn't remove his hat as the national anthem began, a witness told news outlets. The child's skull was fractured, and the man was arrested."

Nobel prize winning author Toni Morrison (author of Beloved as well as many other novels) has died at the age of 88.

The new season of American Crime Story will recount the affair that led to President Clinton's impeachment proceedings—and Monica Lewinsky is one of the show's producers. YESSSSSSS.

Bad news for you Pete Buttigieg fans...

IN LOCAL NEWS: Mayor Wheeler and Chief Outlaw have issued stern warnings that police will arrest anyone who commits violence or vandalism (regardless of political affiliation) at the upcoming right-wing instigated protest on August 17. REMINDER: These right wing creeps are here for one purpose only—to lure Portland protesters into a fight so they can share the video with Fox News and other hate media. DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.
