Trump is about to make his case for a border wall.

We could be fact-checking his speech, but we want to try something different. Rather than responding to a crisis of his administration's own making, here’s the reality at the border:
Homeland Security statistics show a steady decline in border apprehensions over the past two decades.

buzzfeednews.com/article/adolfo…
Just 6 people detained at the border in the first half of 2018 were on a government watch list.

A 2016 State Department report said there's no info suggesting the border is being used by terrorists to enter the US.

These 10 girls are different ages, from different states, and have different upbringings. But they have one thing in common.

They were all allegedly killed before the age of 20 by a man they at one point had a romantic relationship with buzzfeednews.com/article/stepha…
Kiera Bergman was 19 when she vanished from her Phoenix-area home in August. Her body was found about a month later.

Bergman's family is raising money for domestic violence victims in her memory. "Even if we help one person out there ... that's my goal right now," her mom said.
Authorities say 16-year-old Jholie Moussa's ex confessed to strangling her. Her mom told @WUSA9 she believes he manipulated her daughter after he was kicked out of school for harassing her: "We had multitude of conversations explaining to her that it wasn't her fault."

The Libya conflict, which started in 2011, was the first major war that took place entirely during the social media era. Militants and civilians documented the conflict in real time.

This has fundamentally shifted how war crimes are prosecuted. A thread: buzzfeednews.com/article/meghar…
Militants and ordinary Libyans began posting thousands of videos of brutality to social media. But for academics, activists and war crimes investigators who were looking, this was more than a stream of violence — it was a windfall of potential evidence.
This is a huge shift. Investigators documenting abuses used to depend heavily on diaries, records, and interviews with witnesses that sometimes took place years after the fact. Now, the evidence is available immediately — sometimes uploaded by militants incriminating themselves.

Comey Hints Mueller Probe is Wrapping Up: He May Be ‘In the Fourth Quarter’

Trump 'dossier' stuck in New York, didn't trigger Russia investigation, sources say

📌However, #SARSInquiries & #TeamTrumpSIGINT w/ RUs under surveillance did.😎

📌Truth exposes @GOP lies
🤦🏼‍♀️ROAR!💁🏾‍♀️

@GOP are determined to ram the confirmation of Kavanaugh amid fears it will come at a political YUGE cost.

This is an outright vicious assault on American women.

GOP urge: forgive the male sexual assaulter but viciously attack the female victim
🤦🏼‍♀️ROAR!💁🏾‍♀️

Tribelaw:”MD has no statute of limitations for rape or for assault, so it seems that both Kavanaugh & Mark Judge remain potentially criminally liable for what Dr. Blasey alleges they did to her in high school.

Nobody seems to be taking that into account”

#SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh's responses to written Qs from Senate Judiciary members are in: judiciary.senate.gov/imo/media/doc/… There's a long answer in response to Qs from Whitehouse about his finances: "I have not had gambling debts or participated in “fantasy” leagues"
Kavanaugh on what happened with him not shaking the hand of the father of a Parkland shooting victim: "If I had known who he was, I would have shaken his hand, talked to him, and expressed my sympathy. And I would have listened to him." Prev. on this: buzzfeednews.com/article/amberj…
Leahy asks: "Do you personally believe that Nazis, Nazi sympathizers, or white nationalists are “fine people”?"
Kavanaugh: "There is no place in American public life for vile ideologies of hate."

#SCOTUS nominee Brett Kavanaugh says the White House first called him hours after Justice Anthony Kennedy announced he was stepping down. That and more in Kavanaugh's newly released Senate questionnaire buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Kavanaugh membership as an undergrad in Yale's Truth and Courage Society isn't listed in his Senate questionnaire, which only asks for memberships since he started law school (it was in his DC Circuit questionnaire). Previously from @mollyhc on this: buzzfeednews.com/article/mollyh…
@mollyhc Since becoming a judge in 2006, Kavanaugh's newer memberships included coaching youth basketball teams, volunteering with Catholic Charities, and joining the John Carroll Society (for Catholic professionals) and the Lawyers Club of Washington
