One person shot during anti-Trump protest in Portland. 76% of Portland Oregon Voted for Hillary Clinton.

A man suffered non-life-threatening injuries in Portland, Ore. early Saturday when he was shot while taking part in a protest against President-elect Donald Trump.
The shooting took place at around 1 a.m. local time as protesters were walking across the Morrison Bridge toward downtown Portland.
Cameron Whitten told the Oregonian newspaper that a car with multiple occupants was crossing the bridge in the opposite direction of the protesters. He said several people got out of the car, drove a short distance, stopped, then got out again. At that point, Whitten said, one of the people fired a shot into the air, then shot one of the protesters in the leg.
Another witness told KPTV the car's driver said "If you don't get off the bridge, I'm going to kill you," then fired five shots.
Police cleared the bridge of protesters and sought out witnesses for interviews. Organizers told those who were still marching to go home.
In a statement, authorities described the suspect as a black man in his late teens, standing 5 feet, 8 inches tall with a thin build and wearing a hooded sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Earlier in the night, police used tear gas and flash-bang grenades to try to disperse the crowd after hundreds of people marched through the city, disrupting traffic and spray-painting graffiti. Authorities said "burning projectiles" were thrown at police and vandalism and assault had taken place during the rally, which organizers had billed as peaceful earlier in the day.
Portland Police Bureau spokesman Sgt. Pete Simpson told KOIN that Friday night's demonstrators were "much more aggressive and confrontational with police" than the previous evening.
The protests appear to have attracted a sizable contingent of anarchists with the goal of vandalizing and destroying property.
More anti-Trump demonstrations are planned through the weekend in the city, and Simpson told KOIN that "perhaps another day would be better."
“The city is fatigued and whatever message you’re trying to convey will be lost," he said, adding that there were "groups out to hijack a (peaceful) protest into mayhem."
Protests against the election result are planned in a number of cities Saturday, including New York, Los Angeles and Las Vegas. Law enforcement officials have described the demonstrations as largely peaceful, but the gatherings have been overshadowed by sporadic episodes of vandalism, violence and street-blocking.Vote by county

Tensions at DNC could preview bitter leadership fight

DNC boss implicated again in media collusion with Clinton

The Democratic National Committee is gearing up for what could be a heated leadership battle, as tensions flare in the ranks after Republican Donald Trump won the presidency and Democrats were unable to take control of the House or Senate.
With the party relegated to the Washington wilderness, tempers reportedly flared on Thursday at DNC officials' first meeting since the election. Interim Chairwoman Donna Brazile, whom WikiLeaks-released emails reveal had been privately aiding Hillary Clinton since the primaries, apparently was confronted by one DNC staffer.
“You are part of the problem. You and your friends will die of old age and I’m going to die from climate change,” the staffer told Brazile, according to The Huffington Post. He reportedly asked why they should trust her to lead, saying, "You backed a flawed candidate."
Brazile has not publicly announced any intention to seek the full-time position, saying only it's the responsibility of the interim chair to "complete the work of this cycle."
Perhaps indicating she plans to step back, Brazile tweeted that the "next Chair" must earn support and confidence and teased that she'd “make several important and vital announcements” next week.
Already, several Democratic figures -- some controversial in their own right -- have put their names in the running for chairman. With no obvious heir to the leadership role inhabited by President Obama, the race for the DNC top slot is shaping up to be a battle within the left wing of the party.
Former presidential candidate and ex-Maryland governor Martin O’Malley said Friday he is taking “a hard look” at running because the party needs to “articulate a bold progressive vision.”
He joins another former presidential candidate, one-time Vermont governor and former DNC boss Howard Dean, who announced after the election he'll run for his old job.
Expected to jump in soon is Minnesota Rep. Keith Ellison. Fox News has confirmed he plans to announce his bid for DNC chairman on Monday -- and the congressman already is being backed by high-powered support.
"We need a Democratic National Committee led by a progressive who understands the dire need to listen to working families, not the political establishment or the billionaire class. That is why I support Keith Ellison to be the next Chair of the Democratic National Committee, and why I hope you'll join me in advocating for him to lead the DNC,” Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders, who lost the hard-fought Democratic primaries to Clinton and continues to enjoy widespread support among voters, said in a statement.
Another popular figure on the left, Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren, tipped her hat toward Ellison.
"I really, really like Keith," Warren told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow. "I think he's terrific and I think he would make a terrific DNC chair."
New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, who is in line to be Senate Minority Leader, also reportedly backed the first Muslim to be elected to Congress.
The election of any of these candidates to helm the DNC would signal the party plans to double down on the liberal vision espoused by Sanders during the primaries -- and adopted to a degree by Clinton during the general election.
Ellison, who co-sponsored a bill to impeach Vice President Dick Cheney, could be a controversial choice.
Shortly after his election in 2007, he compared President George W. Bush to Hitler and has been linked to the radical Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
Brazile, meanwhile, is slated to remain as interim chair until March 2017. However, a MoveOn.org campaign has been launched to hold the leadership vote earlier.
Brazile was the DNC’s vice chair for civic engagement and voter participation and a paid CNN contributor before she was tapped on July 24 to replace Debbie Wasserman Schultz. The Florida congresswoman resigned after WikiLeaks exposed her apparent bias in favor of Hillary Clinton.
Brazile was no less a controversial figure.
In the final weeks of the campaign, Wikileaks released a series of emails that showed Al Gore’s former campaign manager allegedly provided the Clinton campaign with questions in advance of primary debates and town halls with Sanders.

Trump now has access to nation's most valuable intelligence

President-elect Donald Trump will now have access to the most authoritative and highly classified intelligence produced by the U.S. government, Fox News has learned.
Two intelligence sources confirmed that the President’s Daily Brief, or PDB, is now available to Trump – after the White House, before Tuesday’s election, had directed that the winner have full access to the material, to ensure a smooth transition.
The sources told Fox News they do not anticipate the briefings will begin until next week at the earliest.
The PDB is like a highly classified newspaper for the president, and now the president-elect. It is significantly different than the information provided in briefings for candidates; those briefings act as primers to help bring candidates up to speed on topics like China, Iran and the Islamic State.
Candidates have been free to request additional briefs on topics of personal interest, and those supplemental briefings were made available to the other candidate.
The PDB is a focused intelligence product, and has a very high threshold for intelligence to be included.
Fox News has also learned that, because the briefing itself must be done in a secure facility, the White House has a dedicated transition space nearby that can be used by the president-elect to receive the PDB.
If Trump were to receive the brief in New York City, the president-elect would need to travel to a secure federal facility, such as the FBI office.
While Trump prepares to be read in on top U.S. intelligence, he and his transition team are busy assembling potential candidates for key roles in the Trump administration. He tweeted Friday that he had a “busy day” planned in New York and would soon “be making some very important decisions on the people who will be running our government.”

More With Less: Trump's lean machine beats Clinton's big bank account

What will Trump do first as president in 2017?

The man who made “For the Love of Money” his television show’s theme song was outraised, outspent and out-advertised by Hillary Clinton's billion-dollar bid.
Donald Trump beat her anyway.
The outcome underscores how, through the entirety of his successful White House bid, Trump did more with less.
This included: A smaller, but more agile campaign staff (a reported 130 staffers to 800 for Team Clinton). A reliance on gut instinct over debate prep, extensive polling or new-age data mining. And a bare-bones ad operation that benefited from Trump’s unique ability to gain free media through TV show call-ins and Twitter tirades.
Trump’s campaign also lagged behind that of Mitt Romney, the man who preceded Trump as Republican presidential nominee. Romney, the GOP and allied groups raised $1.019 billion in a losing effort. Trump and his allies raised $795 million, according to The Washington Post, and won.
Clinton, along with the Democratic Party and allied groups, raised $1.3 billion overall as of Oct. 19.
OBAMA, TRUMP DISCUSS TRANSITION OF POWER
The differences are even more stark when it comes to advertising.
The Clinton campaign and its allies accounted for about 75 percent of all TV ads aired during the general election in Florida, Ohio, North Carolina and Pennsylvania, according to data from the Center for Public Integrity provided to Time. Yet Trump won all four of those swing states, beating Clinton by a combined 820,518 votes.
Romney unleashed $156.8 million in advertisements against President Obama's $241.5 million in ads last cycle, Politico reported. Clinton spent $211.4 million on ads in the 2016 general election.
But Trump needed to spend just $74 million in ad dollars to capture the 279 electoral votes that assured his victory on Tuesday, with three states yet to be called.
Not only did Clinton’s monetary advantage fail to win her an Electoral College victory, it also didn’t help turn out Democratic voters in the same numbers as the two previous presidential elections.
With less money spent, Trump captured about the same number of total votes as Romney in 2012 – just fewer than 60 million (though 2016’s tally hasn’t been completely counted). Clinton was leading Trump in the popular vote total by about 200,000 votes as of Thursday morning. But that total badly trails the numbers put up by President Obama in 2008 (69.4 million) and 2012 (65.9 million), despite a comparable amount raised and spent on ads.
In the final analysis, the man who wrote “The Art of the Deal” ended up with a great one.
Trump spent about $13.29 per individual vote and $2.8 million per Electoral College vote. Clinton spent about $21.63 per individual vote and $5.7 million per Electoral College vote.

Boss says employees who agree with Trump's rhetoric should resign

The CEO of Grubhub, an online food delivery service, sent a company wide email Wednesday suggesting employees who agree with President-elect Donald Trump’s behaviors and his campaign rhetoric should resign.
“If you do not agree with this statement then please reply to this email with your resignation because you have no place here,” wrote Matt Maloney, Co-Founder of Grubhub. “We do not tolerate hateful attitudes on our team."

Maloney, a Hillary Clinton supporter, sent the email Wednesday afternoon with the subject line, “So…that happened…what’s next?” He made it clear in the email statement that he is personally stunned and deeply concerned with the results of Tuesday’s election.
“I absolutely reject the nationalist, anti-immigrant and hateful politics of Donald Trump and will work to shield our community from this movement as best as I can,” Maloney wrote about Trump’s supporters.

Maloney stands by the email, which he said many of his employees appreciated.

“I want to reaffirm to anyone on our team that is scared or feels personally exposed, that I and everyone else here at Grubhub will fight for your dignity and your right to make a better life for yourself and your family here in the United States.”
The CEO made it clear he’s particularly concerned Trump’s victory will empower others in his workplace to act out against marginalized groups.
“While demeaning, insulting, and ridiculing minorities, immigrants, and the physically/mentally disabled worked for Mr. Trump, I want to be clear that this behavior -- and these views -- have no place at Grubhub,” Maloney explained.
Adding, if it were up to him, Trump would have been fired a long time ago.
"Had he worked here, many of his comments would have resulted in his immediate termination.”
Maloney tells Fox News that  "almost 20 percent” of his employees have personally thanked him for the note. “I am not embarrassed by it,” he said. 
The CEO said that he deeply respects the right of people to vote for whoever they decide, but that he simply wanted to “reassure our employees that our company will actively support diversity and inclusion -- regardless of national politics.”
This letter is noteworthy because it underscores the fine-line between the intersection of politics and business, especially given the divisive presidential campaign of the past year and a half.
Bruce Tulgan, Author of “It’s OK to be the Boss,” calls the letter “extraordinary” because while a CEO has a right to build the kind of  corporate culture he or she wants -- Tulgan advises business leaders to stay away from politics.
“Much of that message could have been communicated without making direct reference to the election,” Tulgan said of Maloney’s email. "Anytime you are talking about things that are not work at work you’re risking potentially alienating people, making people feel uncomfortable or un-welcomed at work."
Mark Horstman, co-founder of Manager Tools, says if he were advising Mr. Maloney -- he would have recommended he not send the note particularly because he's the CEO of a public company.
"That note could be construed by his employees that someone who voted for Trump could be fired," said Horstman, who suspects other CEOs have sent similar notes. "It has a chilling effect on people's perception of their rights."
While Maloney seemingly calls out Trump supporters at his company on the one hand, the young CEO boasted about the company’s supportive and inclusive culture on the other, saying he “firmly believes that we must bring together different perspectives.”
Evoking Clinton’s campaign slogan, Maloney says we are “stronger together,” and he ends his letter to his employees by echoing Clinton’s concession speech, saying Trump’s administration deserves our open minds and a chance to lead.
He ends the letter imploring his employees to “stay strong."
