- President Trump spoke again about San Francisco at a White House news conference today — thanks a lot, Benioff! — spuriously claiming that "government officials" urged him to "start looking at San Francisco" for a National Guard deployment. Ironically, he claimed that San Francisco was "one of our great cities, 10 years ago, 15 years ago," clearly unaware that the city was being run by Gavin Newsom 15 years ago. [KRON4]

- And did you hear about the Trump plan to transform America's refugee system so that mostly only white people can come here? [New York Times]
