Hey @RichardGrenell, would you like to walk back your “no tear gas was used” propaganda? cc: @RyanLizza

US Park Police: It was a “mistake” to say no tear gas was used in Lafayette Square. "It was a mistake on our part for using ‘tear gas’ because we just assumed people would think CS or CN [two common forms of tear gas] "vox.com/2020/6/5/21281604/la… via @AlexWardVox

US Park Police said using “tear gas” in a statement was a “mistake.” It just used the term again.

The new statement denying use of tear gas in a protest near the White House comes after immense criticism, including from Congress.

These words of Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. were first expressed in 1964. 56 years later, they remain every bit as timely and relevant. We need to remember them. Even more, we need to act on them. Now. – at New York, NY

Sigh...this is big news: BLS says it is working to fix a "misclassification error" and after fixing it the unemployment rate would have been about 3 points higher than reported, meaning 16.3%, not 13.3% as Trump was gloating about. washingtonpost.com/business/…

A ‘misclassification error’ made the May unemployment rate look better than it is. Here’s what...

The Bureau of Labor Statistics said the unemployment rate would likely be 16.3 percent, not 13.3 percent, if not for the misclassification of a large number of workers as 'absent' from work instead...

I am hereby ordering all military and national guard presence off the streets of the nation effective immediately. Because just like Donald Trump, I am the unelected President of the United States.
