@NPR this is excellent news, like when left coast tech companies choose to voluntarily sponsor climate stuff or fund their local failing public schools or homeless needs in their failing cities.
Even the big government left can see that it doesn't require federal or global policy to make a change, we all can at the individual, community, corporate and local government levels.
Certainly the only people upset about tear gas at the border are those who were outraged when it was used monthly under Obama, as this is just a continuation of the Obama policy. Link and excerpts from source CW for length
Obama administration used tear gas at border once a month
The same tear gas agent that the Trump administration is taking heat for deploying against a border mob this weekend is actually used fairly frequently — including more than once a month during some years under President Obama, according to Homeland Security data.
“The facts are, the policy written under President Obama allows us to use tear gas to disperse a crowd that was very dangerous,” he told the network.

So yet again we have outrage at Trump for doing what Obama did. I don't know that you're seeing things clearly if things are always okay for "us" to do but bad for "them" to do.
Love that there's #noBias here. I'm sure they contrasted the previous presidents praise for Iran against his attacks against the courts and police. Where was that...will report back when I find that unbiased reporting...
We were told by the left that not only is this not a problem, but she could even set up a personal server, kept in a bathroom in Denver, and send not only messages, but classified information, then wipe the server when it came into question.
How is this newsworthy?
So relieved. The money, power, and influence were obviously not enough. Finally they gave awards to each other on TV and got their due.
Strangely Trump got the media to say : it's because McRaven isn't a Clinton fan that he's credible.

Here Are the Trailblazing Republican Women Who Made History on Tuesday Night
Republican women made history during the 2018 midterm elections.

Hate on the left, violence, mobs, anti media
Mob at Tucker Carlson's home: Antifa mob gathered at his home where his wife was alone, chant that he must leave town, smash down the door of their home, threaten a bomb.
Clearly the hate is on the right.

Someone HANGED an effigy of a Republican from a tree – with ‘STOP the HATE’ sign!
The winner of the political demonstration most lacking in self-awareness is this effigy of a Republican hung from a tree in Tennessee with the sign, “stop the hate.”
This chaos must stop, it's terrible! Vote for change! The number of employed Americans has never been higher. The 156,562,000 Americans employed in October is the twefth record set under President Donald Trump. CW for length, more jobs numbers below.
In October, the number of employed men age 20 and up -- 80,405,000 -- set the 12th record since Trump took office; and likewise, for the 12th time, the number of employed women age 20 and up set a record, reaching 70,909,000 in October.
The unemployment rate held at 3.7 percent, the same as September, which is the lowest it's been in decades -- since the end of 1969. And the Hispanic unemployment rate, 4.4 percent, has never been lower.
The unemployment rate for African-Americans, 6.2 percent, remained near the all-time low of 5.9 percent set in May.
On top of those numbers, the economy added a whopping 250,000 jobs last month.
