Day 292 since Trump began forcibly separating immigrant children from their families.

As of 12/21/2018 according to Trump admin:

➡️ 161 of 2,816 *separated kids* still in custody.
Add...
FYI: The Trump admin has quietly resumed separating immigrant families at the border.

At one agency, the children were put into temporary foster care and shelters with little or no indication that they arrived at the border with their parents: propub.li/2QcsPvY
Add...
Reminder: The Trump administration is systematically locking up thousands of children at unheard of rates - now almost 15,000 are in U.S. custody.

The government classifies these children as "unaccompanied"

Add...
Day 170 since Trump was implicated as an unindicted co-conspirator in violating federal campaign finance laws to keep affairs quiet.

Add...
A sealed document has been added to Michael Cohen's docket in NY as part of the case brought Mueller.

Day 127 since WaPo columnist Jamal Khashoggi was murdered in the Saudi Arabian consulate in Istanbul, Turkey.

Saudi Arabia admits they were responsible for his death. Yet, the location of Khashoggi's body remains unknown.

Why does Trump defend Saudi Arabia?
Add...
The Trump Administration missed its 120 day deadline to respond to Senate queries related to Khashoggi’s killing, as required under the Magnitsky Act.  bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Add...
@RepRashida points out that Saudi lobbyists spent lavishly at Trump hotels last year.

"Saudi lobbyists spent $417k to reserve rooms at a Trump-owned hotel. That to me makes me pause about [Khashoggi] being killed by that government."

This is a lie.

Fact check: Trump agreed to reopen the government after Dems said 'NO' to his hostage taking.

Pelosi: “[Trump] talked about childhood cancer, we’re talking about a moonshot, he’s talking about a trolley ride. $500 million over 10 years – are you kidding me?...Who gave him that figure? It’s like the cost of his protection of his Mar-a-Lago or something.”

Trump, who doesn't regularly read daily intel summaries, is participating in relatively few in-person briefings from his intel agencies.

And when he does, he pushes back. Even with evidence, it's hard to dissuade him from something he believes.
