Senator @KamalaHarris this morning was about as passionate as we've seen anyone on the Senate Floor on #PoliceReform; She says the Republican bill is "lip-service", she's pushing the Senate to take up Dems' House bill #JusticeinPolicingAct #NexstarDC
The Republican bill is “fundamentally and irrevocably flawed...it’s a cul de sac.” Senator Chuck Schumer, Cory Booker and Kamala Harris leading the opposition to Republican #PoliceReform measures #NexstarDC Image
“Start with something bipartisan... craft a bill that can actually pass the Senate.” -@SenSchumer Image
Sen. @CoryBooker says McConnell and Republican leaders are intentionally setting a bill in motion that is destined to fail. Booker says protesters are NOT chanting “we want a commission...we want data” #NexstarDC
“I for one do not intend to be played...it is Democrats who are doing the real work” -Sen @KamalaHarris Image
FULL STORY: Senate Democrats say they’ll block the Republican #PoliceReform effort, calling it “woefully inadequate.” Senators @KamalaHarris and @CoryBooker say they’ll vote against bringing Republican bill up for debate & want their version taken up #NexstarDC

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 ImageImage
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 Image
"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 Image
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
