Day 479 since the deadliest mass shooting on U.S soil in Las Vegas that killed 58, injuring 546.

Although a bump stock ban takes effect in 53 days, Congress must take action to prevent future mass shootings. #NeverForget #NeverAgain #EnoughIsEnough

Day 280 since Trump began forcibly separating immigrant children from their families.

As of 12/21/2018 according to Trump admin:

➡️ 161 of 2,816 *separated kids* still in custody.
Add...
FYI: The Trump admin has quietly resumed separating immigrant families at the border.

At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY
Add...
Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now almost 15,000 are in U.S. custody.

The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Add...
Thousands more kids may have been separated from their parents at the border under the Trump administration than was previously thought, according to an internal government report.

One must ask. Is Trump above the law?

Add...
Day 115 since WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

Saudi Arabia admits they were responsible for his death. Yet, the location of Khashoggi's body remains unknown.

Why does Trump defend Saudi Arabia?

Add...
Trump: "We have reached a deal to end the shutdown and reopen the federal government."

A "deal"?

More like agreeing to the temporary funding that was approved 100-0 before the #TrumpShutdown
Add...
Trump asserts that "if we don't get a fair deal" by the end of the 3-week funding bill, the government could shut down again, or he could proceed to use his national emergency option.

Time to start the countdown clock.
Add...
Remember as Trump goes on another riff: Trump keeps mentioning taped-up women at the border.

Experts have no idea what he's talking about.
washingtonpost.com/politics/2019/…
Add...
To build a wall Trump has:

-Delivered primetime Oval Office address
-Toured the border
-Shut the government down for 35 days
-Warned of rapists, murderers, drugs, terrorists coming from Mexico

Result: Trump folds having secured $0 for the wall
Add...
"He’s not going to sign a bill that doesn’t have money for the wall... if he gives in now, that’s the end of 2019 in terms of him being an effective president. That’s probably the end of his presidency."

- Lindsey Graham, January 2
Add...
This is such a humiliating end for Trump's gambit. There's nothing here that was not on the table 35 days ago. Huge defeat. And once the government reopens, he has literally no leverage to try this again.

But, he'll try.

Mike Pompeo appoints Elliott Abrams as special envoy on Venezuela. Abrams is known for his central role in Reagan era policy in Nicaragua and El Salvador.
Add...
Via @stephenkinzer's book Overthrow, here's what Manuel Noriega did to Hugo Spadafora in 1985. This is what Elliott Abrams, now leading America's fight for human rights and democracy in Venezuela, defended and covered up.
Add...
Reminder: Elliott Abrams was convicted for withholding information to Congress during the Iran-Contra affair.

So, this makes some Trumpian sense.
Add...
Reminder: Elliott Abrams pardoned via Trump's AG pick William Barr
