JUST IN: President Trump unloads on the nation's governors on a call, calls on them to step up enforcement: "You have to dominate, if you don’t dominate you’re wastin...
I'm deeply troubled by how Mayor Wheeler has been handling this. Portland should be *leading the way* in finding a path towards reconciliation and listening to the voices of the black community. Not upping the level of confrontation! twitter.com/jonathan_maus/…
