This cartoon is not new.

What's so fucked up about America in 2019 is you don't even know which shooting this was after
Trump [Talking about brown families seeking asylum]: How do you stop these people?

Crowd: Shoot them!

Trump LAUGHED.

30 people have been killed in mass shootings in the US in the last 24 hours alone.

There have been TWO mass shootings in American in the past 24 hours.

Congress is on vacation and the President is playing golf.

What an abject failure our government has become.

SCHIFF: Trump and his campaign welcomed & encouraged Russian interference?

MUELLER: Yes.

SCHIFF: And then Trump and his campaign lied about it to cover it up?

MUELLER: Yes.

This alone is enough to impeach the President of the United States.
SCHIFF: The president's lawyer was indicted for lying?

MUELLER: True.

SCHIFF: He lied to stay on message with the president?

Mueller: Yes.

SPEIER: Would you agree that it was NOT a hoax that the Russians were engaged in trying to impact our election?

MUELLER: Absolutely. It was not a hoax.

Dear media,

Republican theatrics are NOT the story.

Mueller’s mild manner is NOT the story.

The dipshit hot take from the racist website is NOT the story.

THE PRESIDENT COMMITTING A FELONY IS THE FUCKING STORY.
THE PRESIDENT COMMITTED A FELONY, this according to the former head of the FBI testifying in front of congress.

Maybe instead of commenting on the theatrics of the hearing you guys could focus on this historic above the fold headline news.

MUELLER: Here is a mountain of evidence laid out in painstaking detail showing how the President committed crimes then committed more crimes trying to cover those crimes and obviously should be impeached.

THE ENTIRE US MEDIA: But how did it look on TELEVISION?

Yesterday in America, a bunch of old rich white Republican men BLOCKED a bill to help victims of 9/11 then said the young black Muslim congresswoman who SPONSORED the bill hates America.
The unspoken argument here isn’t that @IlhanMN doesn’t support victims of 9/11 (she sponsored the bill!) or want to help her constituents by, for example, reforming the health care system.

The only argument is: “She can’t be a REAL American because she’s not white.”
It’s a very strange form of patriotism which ATTACKS people trying to help victims of foreign terrorism while ENRICHING people who don’t give a shit.

Americans are once again allowing the Republican and Democrat party divide us over race, when in fact race is not the issue! Please look at the foreign policies these woman support, and the policies they do not support! This is not about race & we must address the real issues!
@AyannaPressley, @RashidaTlaib, @IlhanMN, @AOC.

I ask for Americans to please look at the human policies these woman are addressing. I ask Americans to actually research the US Foreign Policy that causes massive Refugees and Endless War.
I ask Americans to look at who is funding the election campaigns of their representatives. I ask Americans to question why we are continously at war, when it does not benefit the United States! I ask Americans to research the foreign influence that controls US policy!

Trump & the Republicans inhumane treatment of people seeking asylum then separating the children from their parents and throwing them into separate concentration camps possibly never seeing them again continues. They're taking newborns from moms 6/1/2019😢
Trump and his administration are punishing good hearted people for helping people in need..
#republican @GOP and #Trump administration
are packing migrants seeking asylum in El Paso like they're sardines.
They just don't care!

WV State Police have ordered Interstate 68, both east and west-bound lanes to be shut down, as part of an in-depth investigation "that could require some time." Thousands of vehicles are backed up. Secret Service allegedly involved. wvnews.com/news/wvnews/al… via @WVNews247

So #Trump is holding a news conference in about five minutes. I’ll be watching (and probably tweeting). Follow/mute at will!
Okay, #Trump has started speaking. He's already slurring. He's already made a joke about "a lot of......MEDIA.".

This does not bode well.
#Trump is now saying that China wants to "see me lose an election because they've never been challenged before."

It's not just China, pal.

Today I prepared a beautiful 6-year-old girl in a pink hat for an #asylum interview.

ME: Do you want to go back to El Salvador?

CLIENT [eyes wide]: No!

ME: Why not?

CLIENT [looking down at table]: Because of the bad people.

She'll be deported before her 10th birthday.
That tweet above is pretty much verbatim what she'll be saying on Monday; her father will provide the rest. He'll tell the interviewer about the threats of kidnapping & murder, and what gangs do to children of people they extort if they can't escape. She will not receive asylum.
The case will be referred back to an immigration judge, who will find that she & her family have not suffered persecution based on any grounds that the law can recognize. By the time of her hearing, AG Sessions will have personally removed any doubt of the law around this point.

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

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-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
