Quick facts on Red Flag protection orders
Today’s hearing will focus on the possibility of incentivizing states to create their own Red Flag laws – which would be unique to their states.

It is the start of a discussion. It is a learning opportunity for us all. - @LindseyGrahamSC in a written statement for the record

Chairman Graham today unveiled the Secure and Protect Act of 2019 to strengthen border security.

“We have a perfect storm brewing at the border because of a series of broken and outdated laws related to asylum and children,” said Graham.

The Graham legislation closes the gaps in current law that have led to an escalating number of immigrants traveling to the border.

Highlights of Graham’s legislation include:
“Finally, it should go without saying but travel from Central America to the United States is a dangerous and treacherous journey, particularly for children,” concluded Graham.

#FLAG: I've heard some people I respect — including @MatthewMiller and @FrankFigliuzzi1 — suggest that Nadler should cancel Barr's scheduled hearing before his committee on May 2nd,

The argument is that he's not worth hearing from anymore.

I disagree. Here a few reasons why...
1. The impending hearing puts pressure on Barr, as Dems subpoena the evidence + unredacted report.

Every statement/appearance has been a disaster for him, even causing Mueller's team to speak out. IMO, it all ultimately forced him to release a less redacted report than expected.
2. There are important questions left to ask:

- Will the 12 referred investigations go on unimpeded?

- Why did he overrule/lie about Mueller's intention to leave obstruction to Congress?

- Outstanding Wikileaks questions.

- Has he assembled a team to investigate the #Oranges?

President Trump also directed @TheJusticeDept to provide technical assistance to states – at their request – regarding establishing and implementing ERPO's

Today is going to suuuuuuuuck. How do I know this?

Normally wake up at 4, make it to the office by 5. Woke up at 6 — to NPR’s guilt-inducing fundraiser drive.
DEFINITIVE PROOF OF TODAY SHALL SUUUUUUUUUUCK

NPR just interrupted its own guilt-trip fundraiser with...THE VOICE OF ELON MUSK.

Not conjecture anymore. #Facts B.
Already late, already freaked out about my Arabic lecture.

NPR, thank you. Now there’s practically no way I’m going to avoid cursing during my weak sauce فصحى فسيحة humiliation.

I WANT TO PAY NEITHER FOR YOUR TOTE BAG NOR FOR ELON MUSK’S VOICE.

Allah ya5reb baythum. Dammit.

#FLAG: I'm convinced, Rick Gates is a critical witness to #Collusion/Conspiracy.

He was involved in handing over Trump campaign polling data to Konstantin Kilimnik, along w/ Manafort.

But late in the campaign when data would be most critical, Manafort wasn't around.

Gates was.
#FLAG: Not to mention, Gates worked on the Inauguration.

We know foreign money — specifically from a pro-Russia Ukrainian oligarch — made its way into the huge inaugural fund...that was admitted to in a guilty plea by Sam Patten.

I bet Gates knows more.
#MORE: Here's more on Gates also working with Manafort to share Trump Campaign polling data with Konstantin Kilimnik, who has ties to Russian Intelligence.

This received remarkably less press than it should have...as usual when it comes to Gates coverage.

I'm live-tweeting the debate in the Florida Legislature on gun reforms, including arming teachers. Stay with this thread.
Sen. Audrey Gibson notes that the arming teachers proposal is based on the @PolkCoSheriff's program - which is only used by one private university in that county, but no public schools.
Here's a story I did earlier about that program: tampabay.com/florida-politi…
