The Trump administration announced this morning that William P. Barr will be put forward as attorney general.

Barr’s record suggests that he will follow Jeff Sessions’ legacy of hostility to civil rights and civil liberties.
If William Barr is confirmed, Trump will have a partner in one of the most powerful roles of the administration, and someone who defended the president’s decision to fire James Comey.
Senators must press Barr to commit to defending the rights of all – immigrants, women, people of color, LGBTQ people, and people with disabilities. He must commit to defending the rule of law and civil rights, not serving as a political arm of Trump’s agenda.

These are just some of the ways the Trump Administration has attacked trans and nonbinary people in 2018.
Education. Betsy DeVos has rolled back protections for students filing reports of sexual assault on college campuses. These protections were critical for students who disproportionately experience sexual assault, such as trans and nonbinary students. aclu.org/blog/womens-ri…
Health Care. Just last week, the Trump DOJ asked a court to invalidate health care protections for trans and nonbinary people as part of the ACA. This case is a blatant attempt to keep trans and nonbinary people from accessing basic health care. slate.com/human-interest…

Trump's petulant performance in the Oval Office today shows his position for what it really is: one of a president so obsessed with his wasteful, unnecessary border wall that he promised to withhold paychecks from tens of thousands of federal workers if he doesn’t get his way.
The way forward is clear: Members of Congress should continue to fulfill their obligation to the people they were elected to represent and reject Trump’s border wall. #TrumpShutdown
We will continue to amplify the voices of communities at the border, immigrant families, and all those who refuse to give the president a single taxpayer dollar to waste on a border wall. #TrumpShutdown

When President Trump was elected, we said that he would have to contend with the full firepower of the ACLU if he tried to implement unconstitutional campaign promises.

We meant it, and with your help, we've had big wins.

Let's look back on the last year.
✊
Together we reminded the state of Wisconsin that discrimination comes at a cost.

06/01/2019 - 78 years ago today, the longest-serving #UnitedStates #President, #Franklin D. #Roosevelt (#FDR) addressed the 77th #Congress with his "#Four #Freedoms" speech with the intent to shift #US #foreign #policy from that of #neutrality to #interventionist.
#FDR promoted the idea that the people of the world, in all nations, shared entitlement to four freedoms: that of the freedom of speech and expression, the freedom of worship, the freedom from want and the freedom from fear.
#FDR is arguably one of the most 'successful' #US Presidents. Some would argue that on the basis of his numerous social policies such as 'the New Deal'. Others, however, would argue that his role during the second world war was more prevalent to his success & everlasting legacy.

NEW: Here’s the OLC opinion on Acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker’s appointment. They were consulted before Jeff Sessions got the boot. huffingtonpost.com/entry/matthew-…
OLC had “previously advised that the President could designate a senior Department of Justice official, such as Mr. Whitaker, as Acting Attorney General.” huffingtonpost.com/entry/matthew-…
OLC had to go back to 1866 to find an example of a non-Senate confirmed acting attorney general. That’s before DOJ was even a thing. huffingtonpost.com/entry/matthew-…

But while Hunter has been under scrutiny for several years, the charges of insider trading against Collins happened during the Trump Administration, not Obama as the President tweeted
The President now accusing his own Attorney General of putting the House GOP majority in question because of these indictments - "Good job Jeff"

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
