BREAKING: Inspector general report: Former FBI Director Comey's actions with handling his memos violated US Justice Dept. and FBI policies, and his FBI Employment Agreement, but “the Department declined prosecution.” nbcnews.to/2PnowOI
IG report: Comey used leaking of his memos “to create public pressure for official action,” and “set a dangerous example for the over 35,000 current FBI employees—and the many thousands more former FBI employees—who similarly have access to or knowledge of non-public information”
The IG report provided a summary of Comey's handling of the memos, as well as how the IG handled its report, in the "Introduction" section of the report.

Responding to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez's comments about the Electoral College, Trump campaign says that the US belongs to all Americans, while falsely asserting that "this is our country, not theirs." on.msnbc.com/32idqMz
Rep. Ocasio-Cortez described the Electoral College as a "scam" and said the way the US picks its presidents dilutes the voting power of people of color, as well as voters in large cities.

In 2012, Donald Trump said that "the electoral college is a disaster for a democracy."
The 2012 tweet from the future president stands in contrast to his tweets about the Electoral College following his election, which he then touted and promoted as a more difficult accomplishment to achieve vs. the popular vote, which he lost to Hillary Clinton.

NEW: Trump admin. is pulling $271M in funding from DHS, including FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, to pay for immigration detention space and temp. hearing locations for asylum-seekers, according to dept. officials and a letter sent by a Calif. congresswoman. nbcnews.to/32bu5kv
To fund temporary locations for court hearings for asylum-seekers along the southern border, ICE would gain $155M, all from FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, according to a letter from Rep. Lucille Roybal-Allard, which was seen by @NBCNews.
@NBCNews The allocations were sent to Congress as a notification rather than request, because the admin. believes it has authority to repurpose these funds after Congress did not pass more funding for ICE detention beds as part of an emergency funding bill for southwest border in June.

Tropical Storm #Dorian appears to be finally in a steady strengthening phase, and bad timing for the Virgin Islands, which will likely bear the brunt of its rain and winds over the next 24 hours.
#Dorian’s center should miss Puerto Rico to the east, but the storm could hit hard there too.

30,000 families in Puerto Rico still have blue tarp roofs nearly two years after Hurricane Maria — the worst humanitarian crisis in modern American history.
After #Dorian passes north of Puerto Rico and the USVI, the latest models show a strong potential for rapid strengthening to a Cat 2 or Cat 3 hurricane as it approaches Florida and the Southeast coast this weekend.

Dorian is definitely a storm to watch closely.

NHC Update, 5pm:

It is now nearly certain that TS #Dorian will make a direct hit on Puerto Rico in about 24 hours.

The main threat is heavy rain: Up to 8 inches in some places.

More than 30,000 Puerto Rico families still have blue tarp roofs 2 years after Hurricane Maria.
Even though Dorian is “just” a tropical storm, it poses a potentially devastating threat to families who lost everything in Hurricane Maria—the worst humanitarian crisis in modern American history.

Reporters, please tell the stories of Maria survivors in the aftermath of Dorian.
Our fellow citizens in Puerto Rico needlessly suffered — to the point of death in many cases — because of the willful neglect of their government.

Dorian will be Puerto Rico’s first major test of the countless mutual aid organizations that sprung up in Maria’s wake.

NHC Update, 11am: Tropical Storm #Dorian is expected to become a hurricane within 36 hours.

Barbados, St. Vincent, St. Lucia, Martinique are at greatest immediate risk.

"The risk of direct impacts from wind and rainfall has increased” for Puerto Rico and Dominican Republic.
Dorian is a relatively small tropical system right now, and it has been battling dry air so far, but that could quickly change.

Some models show a rapid intensification over the next three days, before P.R. landfall.

Watch this storm closely, especially folks in P.R. and D.R.
The best-case scenario for the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico is that #Dorian’s center passes through the narrow gap between the two islands — avoiding a landfall in either country. That scenario is definitely possible, probably a 50/50 chance.

1/ Last year, during Hurricane Harvey, a few alt-gov accounts saw desperate SOS messages from people on their rooftops who couldn't get through to 911.

They started logging those tweets, organizing volunteers and dispatching boats out to rescue people that EMS couldn't get to.
2/ From September until December, @CEDRdigital (formerly known as @CrowdRescueHQ) worked 24/7 on different approaches to saving people's lives during Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria.

3/ There are two named storms in the Atlantic right now.
Tropical Storm Chris & Tropical Storm Beryl.
One is hanging out off the coast of NC, the other is headed for the Lesser Antilles and Puerto Rico.

PR could be devastated even by a glancing blow of a cat 1.
