NEW a Honduran father was so distraught after border agents separated him from his family that he turned violent and was sent to a padded jail cell. He was found dead the next morning after an apparent suicide. https://t.co/HCKwSUYhWu
Now that Mueller knows the truth from the Cohen office raid, Giuliani and Trump are putting out a transparent cover story on the Stormy Daniels hush money. Shades of the Nixon gang!
Even firing Mueller will not lead Cong. GOP to remove Trump because it is too afraid of his base. Only an absolute bloodbath in November might drive it to support removing him.
Could uber-hawk John Bolton be Trump's most dangerous appointment yet? The Senate rejected Bolton's nomination by George W. Bush to be U.S. Ambassador to the UN.
Historical parallel: 1876-1892, Dems win 4/5 popular vote, only 2/5 EC; 2000-2016, Dems win 4/5 popular vote, only 2/5 EC. Party competition at knife's edge.
For a country as vast as the U.S., Trump's proposed $20 billion per year for infrastructure is too measly an incentive for states, localities, or private interests to cope with the scale of needs.
We’re in a new ICE age of American immigration enforcement under Trump, and the old rules no longer apply. Here’s who’s getting arrested, and why. With @mariasacchetti https://t.co/oC94xp80FR
If bipartisan DACA fix passes Senate handily and House GOP blocks it, it will be easier for Dems to paint House GOP as the villain in another shutdown--a major difference from the one that ended yesterday.
Dems should use hostage metaphor: Trump took Dreamers hostage by ending DACA, will only release them if paid a ransom consisting of his immigration wish list.
Re expulsion of Salvadoreans: Trump may not have an ideology, but he has a cold, punitive worldview, in this case toward people who were in the country legally and whose families will suffer immensely.
