'Seventeen US states and Washington DC are suing Donald Trump's administration over its family separation policy at the US border.

The lawsuit was filed by 18 Democratic Attorneys General and attempts to force the administration to reunite the approximately 2,000 separated children with their families. California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said in a statement that the policy to detain children away from parents was a “heartless political manoeuvre".'

'HHS Secretary Alex Azar claimed migrant parents who have been separated from their kids under the Trump administration’s “zero tolerance” border policy should be able to easily locate their children, countering reports about difficulties families have faced.

“There is no reason why any parent would not know where their child is located,” Azar testified at a Senate Finance Committee hearing this morning. Azar said he could locate “any child” in his department’s care “within seconds“ through an online government database.'
' .....Sen. Ron Wyden, the Finance Committee's top Democrat, said Azar’s testimony “doesn’t align with the firsthand accounts” of parents he has spoken with.'

I'm just bringing more and , because I don't have anything useful to say.

lionheart that article on drugging migrant kids is beyond belief. And it seems to have been going on for years.

Horrible news to wake up to. The stalling of Garland is going to echo down for years.

In ordering an end to most family separations at the border and requiring the US govt to reunite parents and children, the judge wrote that the govt's lack of systems for tracking kids and reuniting them with their parents was a "startling reality" link: www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/a-federal-judge-just-ordered-an-end-to-most-family?utm_term=.mhV8VPVzQ#.tbGvEnEK1 buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/a…

Process as described by HHS officials on call today could take a lot longer — background checks for adults, birth certificate verification with consuls for kids, biometric analysis for some.

Because if he had been nicer and more respectful to Trump, Crowley wouldn't have lost to a candidate who was to the left of him?

@realDonaldTrump
Wow! Big Trump Hater Congressman Joe Crowley, who many expected was going to take Nancy Pelosi’s place, just LOST his primary election. In other words, he’s out! That is a big one that nobody saw happening. Perhaps he should have been nicer, and more respectful, to his President!

'Just more than two-thirds of respondents say in a new poll that they believe American democracy is getting weaker.

Sixty-eight percent of Americans said democracy in the U.S. is getting weaker, compared to 25 percent who said it is getting stronger.

Republicans surveyed by The Democracy Project appear divided on the characterization of democracy in the U.S., with 47 percent saying they see American democracy as "getting weaker" and 45 percent reporting that they believe it is "getting stronger."

Seventy-nine percent of Democrats said American democracy is "getting weaker" and only 16 percent said it is "getting stronger."
A majority of Americans, 55 percent, now labels American democracy as “weak,” and 50 percent said the nation is in “real danger of becoming a nondemocratic, authoritarian country.” '

'India is the most dangerous place to be a woman in the world, a new study by the Thomson Reuters Foundation has revealed.

The report was based on a survey of 550 experts on women’s issues who found that the country is the worst nation in terms of sexual violence against women, human trafficking for domestic work, forced labour, forced marriage and sexual slavery.'

'.... The inclusion of the US as the 10th most dangerous place in the world for women is a surprise for experts . The #MeToo and Time’s Up campaigns against sexual harassment and violence put the only western country on the list.

Dozens of actresses have come forward with accounts of sexual abuse at the hands of Hollywood executives. Disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein was indicted on rape and criminal sex act charges in May.

Cindy Southworth, executive vice president of the Washington-based National Network to End Domestic Violence, said:

People what to think income means you’re protected from misogyny, and sadly that’s not the case.'

This lady from last night’s Trump rally in SC told me to tone it down. She talked about a possible civil war and people shooting each other. Just one example of some of the anger directed at the press at Trump rallies.
