1. The Trump administration has lost THOUSAND OF CHILDREN it separated from their parents and now it refuses TO EVEN TRY TO FIND THEM

popular.info/p/the-lost-chi…
2. The Trump admin has conceded these separations were ILLEGAL. It made an effort to identify and reunite separated children who were in HHS custody as of June 26, 2018.

But there were thousands more who, before that date, were placed with "sponsors"

popular.info/p/the-lost-chi…
3. The Trump admin now says that it hasn't been keeping track of the kids placed w/sponsors before last June and trying to find them would TAKE TOO MUCH TIME.

It makes that argument based on the premise it would prove NO NEW RESOURCES for the effort

4. Further, The trump administration says that even if it could find them, reuniting these families would be TRAUMATIC FOR THE CHILDREN.

5. This is a humanitarian atrocity.

It should never have happened but the refusal to even try to fix it is depraved.

BOMBSHELL testimony right now in North Carolina by Mark Harris' own son, John

John revealed he emailed his dad and warned him that Todd Johnson's absentee ballot operation in Bladen in 2016 was fishy and might be illegal.

Mark Harris then when out and HIRED THE GUY RUNNING IT.
In APRIL 2017 John Harris told his father Mark Harris that if he hired McCrae Dowless he should be prepared for a criminal investigation because there were red flags in his previous work
Note: Mark Harris publicly claimed in January that NO ONE WARNED HIM ABOUT MCCRAE DOWLESS

His son just testified that he warned his dad and he has the emails to prove it

1. Can anyone one explain why House Democrats haven’t requested Donald Trump’s tax returns yet?

I cannot figure it out.

The point of taking back the House was to use that power to bring some basic transparency and accountability to Trump

popular.info/p/taxing-our-p…
2. The new chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee, Richard Neal, has the unqualified authority to request Trump’s returns from the Treasury Department.

The committee can then vote to make them public

But Neal is still “studying” the issue popular.info/p/taxing-our-p…
3. The really strange thing is that Democrats, including Neal, voted unanimously to force Trump to turn over his returns to the committee TWO YEARS AGO.

They were thwarted by the Republicans.

Now that they have the power, all of a sudden it’s too soon popular.info/p/taxing-our-p…

1. Today's the day. North Carolina Election Board finally conducting a hearing about election fraud.

Board finds "a coordinated, unlawful, and substantially resourced absentee ballot scheme operated during the 2018 general election in Bladen and Robeson Counties"
2. North Carolina election board finds that McCrae Dowless, who was working for GOP candidate Mark Harris, paid people to falsify absentee ballots
3. North Carolina State Election board finds that McCrae Dowless and his crew submitted between 1000 and 1200 absentee ballots

(More than enough to swing the election to Harris, who won by less than 1K votes)

#Trump admin, #GOP: Please stop lying. We have the receipts.

Trump cult: Please stop citing Christian values as you support this cruelty. You make a mockery of the religion you claim to fervently follow. You know dang well this isn't how Jesus wanted us to treat each other.
As one who attended Catholic grade school all 6 years, I had the Bible and Jesus' words drilled into my brain. What the zealot "Christians" are espousing as religious values on people who are "different" than you - immigrants, LGBTQ, etc. - is a far departure from The Word.

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

-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
