In Ghana, the Speaker & @TheBlackCaucus marked 400 yrs since enslaved Africans were taken to Jamestown, VA:

"These profound places are a sobering testament to humanity’s capacity for great evil & [a] reminder of the capacity for great resilience, renewal & strength of a people."
Rep. John Lewis: “Over the years I’ve traveled many places around the world, and this was one of the most moving trips of my life.

To see and behold the inhumanity during another period of our history, it tells each and every one of us to never let this evil happen again.”
Addressing Ghana's Parliament, Speaker Pelosi spoke with great emotion about painful truths and a path to healing:

“Being here has been a transformative experience for all of us… Our souls have been touched by what we saw there, transforming how we go forward.” - Speaker Pelosi

Ending a fact-finding trip on root causes of migration from the "Northern Triangle" – Guatemala, El Salvador & Honduras – Speaker Pelosi and her bipartisan delegation visited asylum seekers in the border city of McAllen, TX, and affirmed a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to end this crisis.
On the heartbreak of traumatized children left on the street this week when their parents were taken in Mississippi #ICEraids, Speaker Pelosi recalled Trump's now broken promise to go after criminals only – saying his targeting of workplaces "undermines the character of America."
One week after 22 people were killed in #ElPaso, Speaker Pelosi also spoke with moral clarity on the URGENCY to come together as a nation to #DisarmHate:

"Xenophobia, white supremacy, and availability of guns are an explosive combination that we must disconnect."

.@JerryNadler, Chair of the Judiciary Committee, teed off today's #MuellerHearings by establishing that Trump & Barr are lying about #Mueller's findings.

Mueller, when asked if his RPT found no obstruction and exonerates Trump: "It is not what the report said." #FollowTheFacts
As Democrats focused on obstruction of justice by Trump, GOP Rep. Buck tried to help Trump.

But ended up shining a brighter light instead on the tell-tale approach Mueller decided on for when he 1) found or 2) did not find sufficient evidence of a crime by Trump. #FollowTheFacts
House Intelligence Committee Chair @AdamSchiff put it all into perspective as he discussed the "methodical" and "devastating" #MuellerReport

Echoing Mueller's words, Schiff explained that nothing short of our American democracy was attacked and remains at stake. #FollowTheFacts

Nancy Pelosi is *Saving* Us
@FriendsofNancyP
In reaction to obvious lies in Barr’s testimony on the #MuellerReport, #MadamSpeaker came to an alarming conclusion for our country: “The attorney general of the United States of America was not telling the truth to the Congress of the United States. That’s a crime!”

💥THREAD💥
Underscoring the seriousness of Barr's flagrant decision to lie to Congress about his handling of the Special Counsel investigation & the #MuellerReport, #MadamSpeaker called him out: "Nobody is above the law. Not the President of the United States. Not the Attorney General." ⚖️
Watching America’s top law enforcement officer perjure himself before Congress, #MadamSpeaker saw the Faustian bargain that threatens our democracy:

Barr and Republicans in Washington have become handmaidens to right-wing *special interests* and abandoned their oath of office.

PSA: If you’re applying to speak at an event, often the only thing those selecting a #speaker use to make selections is the talk title and description. So I have some #speaking tips to share when replying to a #CallforPapers or #CallForSpeakers...
1. If your title is confusing, weird, unclear, too cutesy, or it feels like you put no effort into it, that may work against you. Organizers want talks attendees will be interested in and it must be easy to understand what the talk is about based on the title alone
2. If your talk description is all about you, it’s only 1 sentence, it’s sarcastic/unprofessional, it isn’t aligned with the event focus/theme, or it’s totally self-serving, you might need to rethink things

*ENSLAVED *AFRICANS please
And no the first enslaved Africans did not arrive in 1619. The first enslaved Africans exiled to British mainland North America was Jamestown. The first enslaved Africans arrived in South Carolina in 1526 under the Spanish.
Long before there was a St. Augustine, the enslaved Africans who had arrived in 1526 became the first permanent non-native people to settle and remain in what would become the United States.

In #Ghana, investigative film crew of @anasglobal faces death threats, harassment - @pressfreedom - cpj.org/2018/06/ghana-…
.@pressfreedom today called on Ghanaian MP Kennedy Agyapong to stop threatening investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas & those perceived as close to his undercover investigative film, "Number 12," about corruption & football in #Ghana cpj.org/2018/06/ghana-…
Agyapong, a parliament member with the ruling @NPP_GH for Assin Central in south-central #Ghana, has frequently criticized Anas and today in an interview with the local privately owned radio broadcaster Adom 106.3 FM said "he [Anas] has to be hanged."

Hmmm. “Surprising #VA Data About Opioid Discontinuation, #Overdose and #Suicide: Clinical Implications” Abstract is sobering. This may challenge some policy initiatives regarding #opioids. Can’t wait to see the presentation! vendome.swoogo.com/2018-rx-summit…
“Due to these concerns, the Veterans Affairs (VA) conducted analyses of national data:
1. In fiscal year 2013, patients prescribed less than 90 morphine equivalent daily dose accounted for 95.8% of the sample & 85.7% of overdose/suicide-related deaths
2. In two sets of fiscal years — 2010-2011 and 2013-2014 — opioid discontinuation was NOT associated with overdose mortality but was associated with INCREASED suicide mortality.
