Two-year-old Kaleth is being locked away at the Dilley trailer prison. He is getting sicker with each passing day. He will not eat the food CoreCivc serves, which detainees have said sometimes has mold and worms. He now has a fever.

Let me get this straight: Democrats had a plan to fund most of DHS (without giving ICE more money) this whole time. But Republicans blocked it because Trump told them to. Then, after weeks of chaos at the airports and TSA workers missing paychecks, Trump and Republicans caved. The Art of the Deal.

The president of the United States had his Justice Dept. raid an election office and seize ballots in order to cast doubt on an election he lost. Yet, this is treated by legacy media as just another normal day. I founded Democracy Docket because you deserve better. Subscribe now. hubs.ly/Q03M8rql0

No solidarity. Reporters let Trump talk this way to a woman reporter and then clamor to get their own question answered. He used to do it to April Ryan, Yamiche Alcindor and Abby Phillip. And that’s why he controls media. No solidarity.

President Trump and his administration have touted D.C.’s 12-day stretch without a homicide as “the first time that’s taken place in years." That's false. Here's the data:
wapo.st
How rare was D.C.’s 12 days homicide-free? Not as rare as Trump says.
Trump touted the homicide-free streak as “the first time that’s taken place in years”, but the District went 16 days without a killing stretch earlier this year.

Can confirm this email is authentic — and about nothing in it is true. Social Security income is still taxed. This bill does nothing to change that. It’s willful disinformation on the part of SSA. It’s a lie.
