Recently, Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC and Ranking Member @SenFeinstein's bipartisan bill to keep dangerous drugs off the street passed the Senate.

The current temporary scheduling order, which keeps fentanyl-related substances illegal, is set to expire on February 6, 2020.
Now, it's up to the House of Representatives to pass the bipartisan Temporary Reauthorization and Study of the Emergency Scheduling of Fentanyl Analogues Act (S. 3201).

Today the Judiciary Committee advanced the Reauthorizing Security for Supreme Court Justices Act (S. 2511), introduced by Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC and @SenatorSinema.

The bill would provide permanent additional security for U.S. Supreme Court Justices.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorSinema “I am very pleased that the Judiciary Committee passed legislation I introduced with Senator Sinema that would authorize Supreme Court Police to carry firearms outside the grounds of the Supreme Court to protect our Justices," said Chairman @LindseyGrahamSC.
@LindseyGrahamSC @SenatorSinema Graham continued, "And I appreciate Senator Sinema for working with me on this important bill.

"It's very important that our Court be provided the security they need to remain a safe, independent branch of the government.”

Important piece written by Debbie Smith calling for the House to pass the Senate’s measure to reauthorize the Debbie Smith Act -which provides funding to reduce backlog of DNA evidence, including untested rape kits- before it expires on Sept. 30. #PassDSA

thehill.com/opinion/judici…
“When the House returns on Sept. 9, they’ll need to vote to reauthorize the Debbie Smith Act before the program expires..” –Debbie Smith

The Debbie Smith Act was:
• Unanimously reauthorized in '08 & '14
• Advanced by Senate Judiciary & passed by full Senate in May ‘19
This "grant program funding corrects the wrongs of the past, addresses the present and prepares us for a better, safer tomorrow. It is a proven, sound investment that deserves immediate approval by the House. It is the right thing to do.” -Debbie Smith

Senate Judiciary encryption hearing (with @ManhattanDA, @pwnallthethings, @Apple, and @Facebook) is starting now: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/encry…

We previewed witnesses' statements in @MorningCybersec, along with the encryption response that FB sent to US/UK/Aus: politico.com/newsletters/mo…
Right off the bat, Chairman Graham says he's for encryption backdoors.

"No American should want a device that becomes a safe haven for criminality," Graham says.

If LE has evidence of a crime, "I want the government to be able to look and find out all relevant information."
Graham: "I’m not about to create a safe haven for criminals where they can plan their misdeeds and have information stored in a fashion that law enforcement [cannot access] it. That is a bridge too far for me."

Asks expert to figure out solution. “If y’all don’t, we will.”

❤️🇺🇸 President Trump participating in a round-table on empowering families with education choice.

—Thank you for the following full remarks on Inspector Generals report is transcribed here:

POTUS: "Thank you very much. The IG report just came out and I was just briefed on it,
and it's a disgrace what's happened with respect to the things that were done to our country. It should never again happen to another president. It is incredible, far worse than I would have ever thought possible. It's an embarrassment to our country, it's dishonest,
it's everything that a lot of people thought it would be, except far worse.

"So I'm going to get some very detailed briefing, but--briefings, but they are...it's a very sad day when I see that. Very sad day when a lot of people see that. They had no nothing, it was concocted...

Judicial nominee Steven Menashi has his confirmation hearing today. Menashi's history of far-right commentary and his previous work as a top lawyer in Betsy DeVos' Department of Education could set up a fight in Congress over the lifetime appointment: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/09/11…
We obtained Menashi’s calendars from his tenure at the Education Department, which show he worked to advance conservative priorities on religion in education and Title IX: americanoversight.org/what-we-found-…
In November 2018, the Education Department proposed new rules that strengthen the rights of those acdused of sexual assault on college campus. Menashi’s calendars show 37 entries for meetings about Title IX, the federal statute prohibiting gender discrimination in education.

Today’s hearing at 10:00 am will lay out a roadmap to fix the disaster at our southern border.

The number of people seeking entry into the US from Central America has doubled since last year, creating both a humanitarian and national security crisis.

judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/the-s…
My legislation, the Secure and Protect Act, would fix loopholes in our asylum law, requiring Central American immigrants to apply for asylum within their country or Mexico, not the United States, and allow more time to process claims involving minor children.
The President has taken strong action working with Mexico, but we also need to pass a more permanent, lasting fix.

I hope Democrats and Republicans will listen to the Acting Secretary’s warnings and work together to end this disaster at our southern border.

#President @realDonaldTrump's words, whether you accept his apology and his explanation, do not comport with his actions and his foreign policy toward #Russia. He has been one of the hardest presidents on Russia in recent memory.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion
Where was the outrage when @BarackObama told Medvedev to inform #Putin "After my election I have more flexibility,"? I think much of the outrage being expressed- especially by #Republicans- is politically motivated.

#Trump #IntelligenceCommunity #Collusion #Russia
However, what @realDonaldTrump said was not right. It DID undermine our #IntelligenceCommunity, and it was a mistake. He has since corrected it and walked it back.
