POTUS visits Puerto Rico for the first time since Hurricane Maria devastated the island last month. He visits during growing tensions with local Puerto Rican officials, most notably San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulín Cruz, over relief efforts.

He witnesses storm damage from Hurricane Maria after Trump attacked Puerto Rican officials who criticized the federal storm response. Everyone will be watching to see how he is received on the US island. As of this week, more than half of the island's 3.4 million people don't have access to drinking water and only 5% have power.

The tax-reform proposal announced by the White House and the GOP will do the opposite, adding trillions of dollars to US debt. If the business community still believes in fiscal responsibility, now is the time to speak up and say you're the boss. https://deargovernment.info/ https://dearmrpresident.org/

The legendary CBS TV News anchors take a probing look at today’s journalism and those who practice it as they discuss Bob Schieffer’s new book, Overload.

From the explosion of fake news to the challenges of the 24-hour news cycle, they’ll take an inside look at the changing role of media and ask whether today’s citizens are more informed — or just overwhelmed. And they’ll ask how well do today’s journalists believe they are carrying out their responsibility to provide Americans with the information they need to be good citizens.

Dispatches from some of our #DONews websites and independent journalists on the scene in Barcelona Spain, where polls are open.

Massive migrant crisis, huge public debt, rising unemployment, while some claim Spain is being run by idiots and point to many Catalans wanting to be independent. It cant happen here, you say?

Everything on our block is very peaceful but the center has had big protests and some riots this am and yesterday.

The Mossos (provincial police) came twice to the school that was occupied overnight by pro-independence civilians but didn't stop the voting.

Enjoy a slice of humble pie... Perhaps you may fall this Autumn, which comes with a deep desire for passion, as the leaves slowly drop from the tree of life, bringing a smile to our faces and warmth inside our souls.

Nature's true miracle, with unique colors, so amazingly beautiful, it's difficult to speak of them, so we just marvel with a deep admiration for the beauty that leaves us amazed, similar to a love we all desire.
