For further context: Carr admits he doesn't view the FCC as an independent agency.
He wears Trump's gilded face as a lapel pin.
Trump posted an image of Carr as his pet pitbull today, and Carr responded by growling at his critics to prove him right.
Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils and paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others.
After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.
Trump administration estimates Iran war cost at over $11 billion in six days, source says reut.rs/4lqz62K
The FBI warned law enforcement agencies last month of the possibility that Tehran might try to retaliate for any US strikes on Iran by launching surprise drone attacks in California, according to a security bulletin seen by Reuters reut.rs/40vFJXQ
The United States and Iran have signaled no quick end to their war, with Trump saying it was necessary to finish the job and Iran warning that the world should be ready for oil at $200 a barrel after striking tankers in Iraqi waters and other ships near the vital Strait of Hormuz reut.rs/4bioYUX
“Actions by the Department of Education have real consequences for millions of students and families,” a lawyer representing ProPublica said. “The public deserves to understand how executive authority is being exercised.”

- How to defend US bases in the region;
- Threats to ships in the Strait of Hormuz; and
- How to evacuate Americans with airspace closed.

Republicans always think that the rules don't apply to them.
They lie, they cheat & they're corrupt AF!
It's outrageous that they would subpoena Secretary Hillary Clinton, who never even met Epstein, yet HOTUS along with POTUS were friends with #Epstein & have tons of pictures with him & Maxwell.
“Unfortunately, because Congress is not taking any steps to rein ICE officers in, there really is no option other than states protecting their constituents’ rights," said Joanna Schwartz, a law professor at UCLA.
Few patients appeal a health insurance denial, but a little-known process that requires insurers and plans to seek an independent opinion can force insurers to pay for what can be lifesaving treatment.
Here’s what experts say you need to know.
We obtained the Dilley detention center’s 911 call logs.
Among them are pleas for help for toddlers having trouble breathing, a pregnant woman who passed out and an elementary-school-aged girl having seizures.
CNN follows NPR and Politico in finding that DOJ scrubbed the Epstein files of evidence related to a woman who accused Trump of sexually assaulting her when she was 13 years old.
We need to get corporate special interests out of our healthcare and out of our government. That's why I support Medicare for All, and why I'm not taking a dime of Corporate PAC money in this Senate race.

NEW — I spoke with Rep. Delia Ramirez (@ramirez.house.gov) about her calling DHS leaders "inheritors of the Klan hood and the slave patrol," the prospect of one day seeing them behind bars, and what it's like to see the public [finally] embrace her long-held dream to abolish ICE.
