First two last night:
A very sad time for America when the Supreme Court of the United States won’t allow a question of “Is this person a Citizen of the United States?” to be asked on the #2020 Census! Going on for a long time. I have asked the Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice....— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2019
This one 9 minutes ago:....to do whatever is necessary to bring this most vital of questions, and this very important case, to a successful conclusion. USA! USA! USA!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2019
The News Reports about the Department of Commerce dropping its quest to put the Citizenship Question on the Census is incorrect or, to state it differently, FAKE! We are absolutely moving forward, as we must, because of the importance of the answer to this question.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 3, 2019
Good for him!!

Portland Police Union Tells Mayor To ‘Remove The Handcutffs’ He’s Put On Cops
Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner called on the mayor to let officers do their jobs during protests.
Portland, OR – After violent antifa protesters sent police and citizens to the hospital on Saturday in downtown Portland, the head of the Portland police union has called on the mayor to “remove the handcuffs from our officers” and let them do their jobs.
Portland Police Association President Daryl Turner held nothing back in a statement he released following the June 29 melee that left eight people injured, including three police officers, KATU reported.
“Where are the voices condemning the lawlessness and violence?” Turner asked. “If this violence had been directed at Antifa, there would have been an immediate call for an independent, outside investigation. This is a perfect example of Portland politics at work and why our great City is now under fire in the national news.”
“The Mayor, our Police Commissioner, is not allowed to use the rank and file officers of the Portland Police Bureau as a shield to deflect Portland’s negative press nationwide,” the union leader continued. “As we have said before and will continue to say: Police officers work to uphold the Constitution, including the right to free speech. It’s our job to ensure that our community can peacefully protest without fear of violence but right now our hands are tied.”
