Trump admin tells court detained kids are 'safe and sanitary' without toothbrushes or soap.
Maybe these officials should have to go without both and see how they feel after a week.

Let’s think about this for a minute - what kind of privilege prevents a former presidential staffer from testifying about whether she told law enforcement the truth under questioning? Oh right. There isn’t one. twitter.com/politico/statu…

For all the President's bluster & hyperbole, it's easy to miss the significance of what's happening in talks between the U.S. & Mexico. The Trump Admin continues to demand radical action on asylum--and the AMLO govt is now backed into a corner. My latest: newyorker.com/news/news-desk…

On #Juneteenth, the @HouseJudiciary held a hearing to discuss slavery, segregation, and racism.
I’m proud to support #HR40 to begin a national conversation about how to confront our nation’s past and build a more equal and perfect union. pic.twitter.com/rGd6S6arDq

Army veteran David Singleton was able to turn his life around with the help of El Paso’s VA.
Remember, depression is treatable, and @VeteransHealth offers programs and services dedicated to helping our veterans find treatments that are best for them.

After an exhaustive review, the @DeptofDefense found what we already knew: there’s no valid reason to ban our transgender troops.
That’s why I’m co-sponsoring @RepSpeier’s amendment to prevent Pentagon funds from being used to implement the discriminatory transgender ban. pic.twitter.com/FfJr9UlVcu

We're entering another election where Trump wants you to be very afraid of undoc immigrants.
Meanwhile, he has undoc immigrants inside his home, taking care of him and his family.
Thank you to Victorina, Sandra, and all the brave workers speaking out. twitter.com/AmericasVoice/…

SCOOP: Ken Cuccinelli sent an email to USCIS staffers Tuesday in which he appeared to push asylum officers to stop allowing some migrants seeking refuge in the country passage at an initial screening at the border.
"It's insane," one DHS official said.

Our country was attacked and Russia’s election meddling continues. Trump camp knew, benefited from/refused to report it & he said he’d do it again.
The House passed elections integrity legislation. Time for @SenateGOP to put country over Trump cnn.com/2019/06/17/pol…

And *again* the Trump administration chooses a strategy that makes things worse.
Instead of working with leaders in Central America to stabilize the situation there, the administration is eliminating aid intended to create better conditions that would help keep families home. twitter.com/politico/statu…

Raising the minimum wage will put money in the pockets of nearly 40 million hardworking families who will spend that money in the local economy.
The #RaisetheWage Act is good for workers, good for businesses, and good for El Paso.
