Does this look like a #Census2020 document? It's not...it's a misleading campaign ad from the Republican National Committee, sent in a mailer to people all over the country. Members of Congress are now trying to stop them from being circulated. #NexstarDC
Read the bottom of the page which asks for a campaign contribution of "$25, $50, $100, $250, $500, or $1,000" … to re-elect President Trump and Republicans at all levels of government #NexstarDC
Facebook removed paid campaign ads for President Trump & Republicans' re-elections, because they were misleading and looked like links to the U.S. Census Bureau. FB cited a policy to "prevent confusion around the Census". #NexstarDC
FULL STORY:
Facebook initially refused to remove the Republican National Committee paid ads. One day after @SpeakerPelosi made an impassioned case that the ads were misleading, Facebook reversed course. Here's what Pelosi said:
Here’s what a #Facebook rep tells me about the RNC ads: “Our census interference policy will prohibit...misrepresentation of the dates, locations, times and methods for #census participation.” #NexstarDC

BREAKING: Kayleigh McEnany confirms President Trump has been taken to Walter Reed Medical Center. That’s a change of plans from this morning, when the President was going to remain at the White House @NewsNationNow
President Trump gave a thumbs up to the pool cameras on his way from the White House to Marine One. On his way to Walter Reed Medical Center for a few days, per WH Press Secretary @NewsNationNow
Walter Reed is full of local and federal law enforcement, entrance blocked off as President Trump begins his stay here at Walter Reed medical center @NewsNationNow
10 Democrat Senators signed this letter addressed to Sen. Lindsey Graham calling on him to state unequivocally that he will not consider any nominee to fill Justice Ginsburg's seat #RBG#RuthBaderGinsburg@NewsNationNow
The letter quotes Graham directly from 2016
1) “If there is a Republican President in 2016 and a vacancy occurs in the last year of the first term, you can say ‘Lindsey Graham said let us let the next President, whoever it might be, make that nomination.’
2) And you could use my words against me, and you would be absolutely right.”
From President Trump's memo on defunding cities w/ social unrest "...it is imperative that the Federal Government review the use of Federal funds by jurisdictions that permit anarchy, violence, and destruction." @NewsNationNow#NexstarDC
"Yes, the President is serious about this."-Press Sec. Kayleigh McEnany got a few questions on this, mostly when pressed that the move is unconstitutional. POTUS does not have the authority to unilaterally withhold funds appropriated by Congress. #NexstarDC@NewsNationNow
McEnany broke down what this White House memo tries to accomplish in 3 parts...The legal experts & members of congress we've spoken to today say this is unconstitutional and will almost immediately be met by legal challenges. #NexstarDC@NewsNationNow
