Day 307 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"

Day 185 since Trump was implicated as an unindicted co-conspirator in violating federal campaign finance laws to keep affairs quiet.

Add...
Day 77 since US Justice Department prosecutors say Trump committed a felony.

Day 142 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...
During a 6-country tour to roll out his "Middle East peace plan," Jared Kushner will meet with Saudi Prince MbS for the first time since MbS ordered the hit on Khashoggi.

One wonders...what classified intelligence will Jared sell to MbS this time?

Trump remains silent about the U.S. Coast Guard lieutenant and self-identified white nationalist arrested with a cache of weapons and ammunition stockpiled to target politicians and journalists in a terror attack.
Add...
Only days before, Trump had demanded "retribution" against those in the media who criticized him.
Add...
Last October, another would-be killer sent pipe bombs to a dozen other targets of Trump's incitements. Fortunately, nobody was hurt. Trump's reaction? He doubled down on *more* incitement, blaming the targets for the bombs.
Add...
Isn't it odd that DOJ didn't publicize that they had made this arrest? 

Seems like quite an achievement for them to break up this sort of terrorist plot, and we didn't hear about it until a reporter stumbled across the court filing.

The gag order on Stone bars Stone from talking about his case and Mueller's probe and prohibits him from indirectly commenting by having "surrogates, family members, spokespersons, representatives, or volunteers" speak on his behalf.
