ACLU head Jennifer Riley Collins has stepped down to focus on her bid for Mississippi attorney general. If she won, @JenniferforAG would be the 1st black woman to hold statewide office, 1st woman ag, & 1st black statewide official since the 1800s. #mselex

Check out my interview with @JenniferforAG—the Democratic candidate for Mississippi attorney general (an office currently held by a Democrat). She is a retired army colonel and military intelligence officer and former ACLU executive director. #mselex

My military career informs it in that I did lift my hand to protect and defend the Constitution. That is also why I work for the American Civil Liberties Union, because the American Civil Liberties Union is focused on defending the Constitution.

“I don't believe Mississippi is hopeless. ... I have 3 sons, & my oldest left MS & returned bc people want to be with their family, & I think that's why he returned. ... I want to create a MS where our family members get to stay.” @JenniferforAG #mselex

Read the full interview for her thoughts on criminal justice reform, whether she would defend Mississippi’s anti-LGBT “religious liberties” laws and abortion bans, legalized medical marijuana, policing & race, and more:

In a sworn affidavit, a woman who said she was Jeffrey Epstein’s former “party planner” claimed she recruited a 13-year-old girl for Epstein and watched as his friend, Donald Trump, violently raped her at a party in 1994.
deepsouthvoice.com/index.php/2019…
The 13-year-old in question, in her own sworn affidavit, said that Trump tied her to a bed in a “savage sexual attack” in which he allegedly raped her and threatened to have her family “physically harmed if not killed” if she told anyone.
deepsouthvoice.com/index.php/2019…
“Defendant Trump stated that I shouldn’t ever say anything if I didn’t want to disappear like Maria, a 12-year-old female that was forced to be involved in (a sexual act with) Trump and that I had not seen since that third incident...,” the woman alleged.

Glenn Beck in 2014, warning of Obama concentration camps:

“The indoctrination is so complete at that point, you no longer see people as human. You dehumanize them. You’ve made them the enemy...Whoever is in power could easily round up the other group & put them in a camp.” (1/3)
Glenn Beck now defends Trump’s concentration camps, but in 2014 warned Obama would put conservatives in camps:

“We‘re headed toward the time when the president isn’t going to react well bc all of his policies are going to fall apart & people will start to blame him. ...“ (2/3)
“(Obama)’s always been the star, he’s always been a god. Now you’re going to question him? He’s not going to react well to that. ... And if you couple that with power, you’re in trouble.” —@glennbeck in 2014, warning of Obama concentration camps. (3/4)

63/@KamalaHarris defends her policy on truancy & notes that it led to a substantial decrease in truancy & did not involve sending parents in difficult straits to jail. #kamala2020
64/Since the FCC repealed it in 2017, @KamalaHarris has been a fierce advocate for net neutrality & is supporting a new bill to restore it. #Kamala2020
65/1 of many takeaways @KamalaHarris got from Howard University was the importance of embracing & celebrating Black identities & providing a sense of belonging & leadership to traditionally oppressed groups. It’s time to do that nationally. #Kamala2020 latimes.com/politics/la-na…

We will be underway shortly at the justice committee. @Puglaas to give a 30-minute opening statement followed by a Q&A with MPs. Watch this space.
@Puglaas You haven't missed a thing. Votes in the House have pushed back the start time of the committee.
JWR has taken her seat around the committee table. A lot of media interest, as you can imagine.

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.

I have the receipts laid out for you on what could be one of the most influential legal battles over the next decade.

How the Trump admin pushed for a #2020census citizenship question and ended up in court👇

(I'll be at the trial in NY starting Monday.)

2. I've been following the trail of internal emails, memos released as part of the #2020census citizenship question lawsuits since June👇

3. And if you're wondering what's so important about the census👇

Attorney General Sessions Delivers Remarks on the Administration's Continued Commitment to Protecting First Amendment Freedoms at the Justice Department’s Forum on Free Speech in Higher Education
Thank you also to Jesse for his remarks and all of our panelists—especially the fabulous Heather Mac Donald, who I think provides some of the best insight on criminal justice issues in America today.
And Nadine Strossen, the always principled and challenging former president of the ACLU, our keynote speaker.

I’m looking forward to this afternoon’s conversation between Deputy Attorney General Rosenstein and my good friend and our former Secretary of Education,
