1 still-separated child is under 5.

Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now a staggering 12,800.

The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Trump is pushing a laughably false conspiracy theory about immigration in order to incite racial panic because he’s worried that voters will punish his party in the midterms for trying to take away health care from tens of millions of Americans.

Add...
Day 62 since Trump was implicated as an unindicted co-conspirator in violating federal campaign finance laws to keep affairs quiet and Congress has refused to call for investigations and impeachment.

Is Trump above the law?

Add...
Day 3 since Saudi Arabia acknowledged the death of U.S. resident, WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi, claiming he died from an alleged October 2nd "fist fight" inside their Turkey consulate.

Where's the body?

The U.S. has yet to launch an investigation or impose sanctions.

Bob Corker says he thinks Saudi Arabia's Crown Prince was behind the death of Jamal Khashoggi: "Do I think he did it? Yes, I think he did it. Let's finish this investigation." (via CNN)
Add...
"In many ways, an investigation involving the crown prince ... is like asking Tony Soprano to help figure out who was behind a mob hit. 'It is absurd to entrust the investigation of Khashoggi's murder to those most likely to have ordered it.'"

Experts say Trump is abdicating America's role as a beacon of morality & human rights and is, instead, pursuing a foreign policy shaped by commercial self-interest.

"We, too, are running a foreign policy not based on principles or values." wapo.st/2ECCR4c

The whole thing about arms sales to Saudi Arabia creating jobs is a con.

Aside from the claims being totally bogus, the billions in arms sales aren't what matters to DJT; it's the millions the Saudis deliver to him personally.

Interesting argument. Trump may be legally bound on his Warren payment promise: "Trump's grand promise to pay $1M to charity in exchange for Senator Warren's DNA test fits the textbook definition of an 'offer to enter into a unilateral contract.'"

In Week 101 Trump refused to condemn Saudi Arabia’s murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi and praised Rep Gianforte for body slamming a reporter. Plus voter suppression galore.
