5. In March, @TheJusticeDept's John Gore told House @OversightDems @GOPoversight that A. Mark Neuman gave him "draft letter that would request reinstatement" of #CitizenshipQuestion. (LEFT)

This week, he said letter "was not a draft" of DOJ's official request for the Q. (RIGHT)

UPDATE: @uscensusbureau confirms to @RepPressley’s office what it told @OMBPress in July — it’s producing Citizenship Voting Age Population info states may use in redistricting to draw voting districts based on number of eligible voters rather than all residents (via @LinaFuego)
2. ICYMI, here’s what I reported in July👇
3. Not clear why @uscensusbureau Dir. Steven Dillingham was “not quite sure” if citizenship data would be released at census block level when @RepPressley asked during House @OversightDems hearing on July 24, 3 wks after bureau uploaded doc for @OMBPress.

For 200+ years, the U.S. has divided up seats in Congress among the states based on population counts that include both citizens & noncitizens, regardless of immigration status.

I wrote about how the Trump admin is signaling it may want to change that👇
npr.org/2019/08/14/749…
2. Since the first US census in 1790, the Constitution has called for a head count every 10 years of "persons" living in the US to determine number of congressional seats each state gets. The 14th Amendment was ratified to require the counting of the "whole number of persons."👇
3. State of Alabama & @RepMoBrooks are suing @uscensusbureau to stop bureau's longstanding policy of including unauthorized immigrants among "whole number of persons" for apportionment. Alabama @AGSteveMarshall argues unauthorized immigrants are not "persons" under Constitution👇

During today's @uscensusbureau press briefing, I asked if bureau plans to include citizens & noncitizens, including unauthorized immigrants, in 2020 apportionment count. Officials didn't answer my Q until @bgdailynews's Don Sergent graciously followed up👇
@uscensusbureau @bgdailynews 2. @uscensusbureau spokesperson Michael Cook said, "The Census Bureau will fulfill its constitutional mandate to conduct a complete & accurate 2020 census & enumerate all persons living in the U.S." It echoes what bureau told @RepPressley on Friday👇
@uscensusbureau @bgdailynews @RepPressley 3. But @uscensusbureau, I'm still waiting for an answer to this question, which I've emailed to your public information office:

Is the bureau planning to include citizens and noncitizens, including unauthorized immigrants, in the 2020 apportionment count?

Let's look back at a timeline of their 72-days marriage … and prolonged parting.

November 2010: 

After briefly dating male model Gabriel Aubry (Halle Berry's ex), Kardashian meets the NBA basketball player while she's filming "Kourtney & Kim Take New York"
and they start dating. Soon after, she is seen in the stands at one of his Nets games sending him "I love you" signals with her hands.

February 7, 2011: 

They go public with their romance by posing for photographers at a Prince concert in Manhattan.
May 18, 2011: 

Kardashian arrives at her Beverly Hills home to find Humphries in her bedroom, on bended knee, with "Will You Marry Me?" written out in rose petals. He gave her a custom-designed, 20.5-carat Lorraine Schwartz engagement ring.

#THREAD: On July 12, 2019 at 8:09am, @RepCummings’s staff informed Republicans of a 31-page report examining the humanitarian crisis at the southern border.

Some thoughts ⤵️
• 𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐨𝐜𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐫.

After months of calling it a “fake” crisis, Dems are now looking for someone to blame. They blame @POTUS—as they do for everything.
• 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐫𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐞𝐯𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐞.

This report cherry-picked info to create a misleading narrative. Of data received on 1,575 children, 96% were reunified with a sponsor or parent.

#Thread: Inspired by the CBP Facebook revelations, I decided to take a look at the OUN-B affiliated U.S. Organization for Defense of Four Freedoms of Ukraine (ODFFU) Facebook group, which includes 610 people. In no particular order, here are some profiles that stuck out to me:
Dmytro Zhmailo, spokesman/executive director of Free People, member of Youth Nationalist Congress (MNK), and senior staff for Ukrainian MP Oleh Medunytsia, who himself chaired MNK 2002-2006. Among others, Zhmailo is FB friends with CUN leader S.Bratsiun.
Pavlo Podobied, head of the Ukrainian Institute of National Remembrance's Department for the Preservation of Places of Memory, according to Newsweek, has "accused Jews of being the main perpetrators of Soviet crimes against Ukrainians in the 1920s and 1930s." (1/2)

[THREAD] So, you ask, what do today’s #CitizenshipQuestion and #Gerrymandering decisions mean?
In the CQ case, Roberts *did* find the Voting Rights Act justification for adding the question to be pretextual. But he also wrote that Commerce’s decision to add it was supported by evidence, and was not arbitrary and capricious under the APA.
In a ‘help me help you’ moment, it seems Roberts purposely left the door open for the Trump Admin. to allow him to let the question be added. When it is, it will be challenged, and we will undoubtedly do much of this over again.

Good morning!

Per Congressional request, President Trump’s admin has until *today* to report on Saudi Crown prince Mohammed Bin Salman’s role in Jamal #khashoggi’s killing.

Today, we will see if Trump will let Saudi Arabia get away with murdering a @washingtonpost writer.
The CIA determined in November that MBS ordered #khashoggi’s murder.

Last night, the New York Times reported that intercepted communications revealed that the Saudi Crown prince wanted to “use a bullet” on Jamal as early as 2017.

nytimes.com/2019/02/07/us/…
Our country has convicted people of murder on much less evidence than what we have on Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman. #khashoggi
