New study finds states need more funding to protect elections, funding McConnell won't allow
Joan McCarter for Daily Kos
Daily Kos Staff
Monday July 22, 2019 · 9:10 AM EDT
A report released last week from the Brennan Center for Justice, the R Street Institute, the University of Pittsburgh's Institute for Cyber Law, Policy and Security, and the Alliance for Securing Democracy sounds an alarm about the urgent need for federal funding to secure state elections systems ahead of the 2020 election.
Choosing Alabama, Arizona, Illinois, Louisiana, Oklahoma, and Pennsylvania as key states representing different regions, with varied population sizes to extrapolate from, the authors find that federal intervention is critical. "Elections are the pillar of American democracy, and, as we saw in 2016 and 2018, foreign governments will continue to target them," the authors write. "States cannot counter these adversaries alone, nor should they have to. But at a time when free and fair elections are increasingly under attack, they can, with additional federal funding, safeguard them." They say that while they "have limited their review to a sampling of six states, it is clear that the other 44 states and the District of Columbia have similar unfunded needs."
Four of the states said they need funding to replace old equipment that's vulnerable to cyber attacks, while several others require funds for training election officials in cybersecurity. Oklahoma needs funding for post-election audits to make sure their tallies are correct, and Pennsylvania identified a need for regular assessments of the security of its counties' systems.
In 2018, Congress passed $380 million in grants through Help America Vote Act funding specifically for election security. The Elections Assistance Commission has estimated that 85% of these funds will be spent ahead of the 2020 election "to strengthen election cybersecurity, purchase new voting equipment, and improve postelection audits," but this study's authors find that it's not stretching to the full need just in the six states they surveyed.
That federal support is only going to happen if Mitch McConnell lets it. He's blocked a very significant elections protection bill this year, and has made it clear that he won't let one through.

I love my wife, but I’d never be this milquetoast-y in my defense of her. And she really is the least racist person you’ll ever meet.

Translation: “I don’t know what the fuck that orange piss bucket is going to do next, so I’ll pretend he has a scintilla of conscience — but I’m not going to say he definitely will do something to stop this racist chant in the future because, let’s face it, what are the chances of that, really? So ¯_(ツ

Mike Pence thinks he’s going to heaven for standing by his man, but I think the best he can hope for is one of the higher circles of hell — where he’ll be fourth in line in the human centipede behind Trump, Steve Bannon, and the soulless fuck who decided to cancel Freaks & Geeks after just one season. But hey, No. 4’s pretty good, right?
Stay strong, Mike. Your reward is on its way.

Trump’s National Doral Resort Golf Club Shortlisted for Next Year’s G-7 Summit: Report
Jamie Ross
Published 07.22.19 6:51AM ET
Trump National Doral, President Trump’s struggling golf resort in Miami, has reportedly been shortlisted as a potential location to host the G-7 summit when it comes to the U.S. next year. Axios reports the Trump property is among the final few possible locations under consideration. It will be the first G-7 summit—an annual meeting of the leaders of the world’s most powerful economies—to be hosted in the U.S. since 2012, when Barack Obama invited leaders to Camp David. Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported that Trump’s Doral resort was in “steep decline” and that, in two years, the resort’s net operating income had fallen by 69 percent.

Trump Plans ‘Executive Time’ During Mueller Hearing
July 22, 2019 at 8:09 am EDT By Taegan Goddard
“The White House and President Trump’s re-election campaign plan to tune in Wednesday to watch former special counsel Robert Mueller’s congressional testimony without a coordinated plan to counter the appearance ahead of time, according to multiple officials involved in those discussions,” NBC News reports.
“The president himself is expected to monitor the hearings from the White House as Mueller answers questions about the Russia investigation, according to campaign aides, much like he has done with similar events in the past. His schedule for that day only includes a routine lunch with the vice president, and aides point to his morning ‘executive time’ as a natural window for Trump to take in snippets of the coverage.”
“But when asked directly by reporters last week if he intended to tune in, the president claimed he ‘won’t be watching.'”

The Border Patrol–to–Emergency Room Pipeline
The conditions in facilities at the border are so dire that many migrants are in need of medical care as soon as they are released.
Arya Sundaram
7:00 AM ET
While cradling her baby, who had just finished breastfeeding, Sara reached her other hand out to her older son. With her right thumb and forefinger, she gently pressed on the bridge of her 2-year-old son’s nose to hold his oxygen mask in place. A foggy mist of breathing medication enveloped his nose and swirled in front of his mouth. The 2-year-old, who has asthma, would soon be diagnosed with pneumonia. His baby brother, in his mother’s arms, was suffering from bronchiolitis. Just one week earlier, Sara said, having traveled hundreds of miles from Honduras, before they entered immigration detention, the boys were healthy.
After crossing the Rio Grande on a small boat in late June, 22-year-old Sara, her two boys, and her 3-year-old daughter turned themselves in to Border Patrol agents to seek asylum in the United States. Their hope was to soon travel to South Carolina, where Sara’s husband was waiting for them. Once on U.S. soil, migrants like Sara and her family are usually taken to Border Patrol detention facilities where they are processed, fingerprinted, and examined by a medical provider.
Although Border Patrol policy says migrants are not supposed to be held there for longer than 72 hours, Sara said her family was there for about six days, and some people were detained there for weeks, according to the government’s own internal review. Mark Weber, a spokesperson for the Department of Health and Human Services, said that as of Tuesday, July 9, Border Patrol wasn’t holding any children longer than 72 hours. Sara, whose last name is being withheld so that she could speak freely on her experiences in detention, said doctors at the facility handed out fever and flu medication, but they didn’t offer anything to remedy the gravelly cough her boys had developed—an early symptom of the infections growing in their lungs. “It was like prison,” she said in Spanish, sitting on a blue couch in an exam room at Valley Baptist Medical Center’s emergency room in Brownsville, Texas.
After Sara and her family were released from the detention facility, they were dropped off at the Brownsville bus station. A city-funded van escorted them to the refugee respite center at Good Neighbor Settlement House. It’s one of many borderlands shelters, often run by faith-based nonprofits, where migrants can stop for a shower, clothes, and food before they travel across the country to meet up with sponsors or relatives. Soon after Sara and her family arrived at Good Neighbor, workers there called an ambulance: The baby had a 103-degree fever.

While some migrants might arrive sick from conditions in their home countries or on the way to the United States, some doctors I spoke with say that border facilities themselves have become a disease vector. Cursory medical screenings and crowded holding rooms leave tired and weak asylum seekers vulnerable to contracting illnesses both minor and severe. Some migrants become so ill that they’re rushed to the emergency room for treatment either while they’re still in detention or just after they’re released.

Wallace responded that Trump’s claims that Mexican immigrants are mostly rapists and drug dealers and his proposed total ban on Muslims were “not protecting the American people” but “playing the race card.”
After Miller tried to change the subject to criminal gang members, Wallace shut him down, reminding him that Trump had pushed racist “birther” attacks on Barack Obama. Miller likened those efforts to undermine the legitimacy of the former president to questions that were once raised about John McCain. Wallace quickly fact-checked him, noting that concerns surrounding the late Arizona senator were not racial, but based on the 2008 nominee’s birth in the Panama Canal Zone.
Miller then argued that questioning people’s Americanism is okay as long as you don’t intend it to be racist.
Wallace also fact-checked Miller when he attempted to claim Trump had been “clear” that he disagreed with his supporters’ racist chant — repeating his own attacks on Omar and demanding she be sent back to Somalia.

Fox News host shuts down Stephen Miller’s defense of Trump’s hypocrisy and racism
Chris Wallace did not let Stephen Miller gaslight his viewers.

Stephen Miller, a top White House adviser said to be the architect of the administration’s cruel anti-immigrant policies, went on Fox News Sunday to defend President Donald Trump’s latest round of racist and hypocritical attacks on congresswomen of color. The interview went rather poorly for him.
Host Chris Wallace began the interview by asking Miller about Trump’s recent tweets attacking Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ilhan Omar (D-MN) Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and demanding that they go back to their home countries (Omar was born in Somalia and came to the United States as a child, the other three are natural-born citizens). Miller responded that the president isn’t a racist because the jobless rate has been falling for racial minorities.
“I think the term ‘racist,’ Chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by left/Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with, speech that they don’t want to hear,” Miller began, asserting that Trump “has been a president for all Americans” because of “historically low black unemployment rates, historically low Hispanic unemployment rates,” and his crackdown on immigration “to protect safety, security, rising wages for all American citizens.”
Wallace responded that Trump’s claims that Mexican immigrants are mostly rapists and drug dealers and his proposed total ban on Muslims were “not protecting the American people” but “playing the race card.”
After Miller tried to change the subject to criminal gang members, Wallace shut him down, reminding him that Trump had pushed racist “birther” attacks on Barack Obama.

Wallace also fact-checked Miller when he attempted to claim Trump had been “clear” that he disagreed with his supporters’ racist chant — repeating his own attacks on Omar and demanding she be sent back to Somalia.
“No, he was clear after the fact,” he responded. “He let it go on for 13 seconds and [it] was only when it diminished that he started talking again.” Wallace noted that Trump “said nothing there or in his tweet after that rally that indicated any concern about the chant.”

SE Cupp: GOP is responsible for Trump's 'racist' and 'un-American ideas'

By Justin Wise - 07/21/19 07:37 AM EDT
CNN's S.E. Cupp on Saturday lambasted Republican lawmakers, saying the GOP was responsible for President Trump's "racist" and "un-American ideas."
"You break it you own it," the conservative host said on "S.E. Cupp Unfiltered." "The Republican Party is now fully and totally responsible for his racist, divisive, un-American ideas. They are yours as much as any policy is. In fact it is the policy. Republicans can pretend that this is just rhetoric, but when Central American children are put in cages at the border as policy, and when the administration pushes to cut refugee admissions to zero as policy, and when the president implemented a muslim ban as policy, it’s not just words. It’s the agenda."
Cupp, who has repeatedly criticized the president, went on to call out GOP lawmakers who have called for Trump to just "focus on policy" when he faces scrutiny for his rhetoric.
“I hear it all of the time from Republican lawmakers. 'Well, I wish he'd focus on policy. I don’t like what the president said, but I am focused on policy.' What a load of crap,” Cupp argued, saying that the idea congressmen can "compartmentalize Trump into categories is the lie of the century."
"Trump is not a buffet where you can take what you like and leave what you don't," she added.

Joe Biden dominates, but Pete Buttigieg makes inroads with Obama's elite bundlers
Joe Biden dominates, but Pete Buttigieg makes inroads with Obama's elite bundlers
By Fredreka Schouten, David Wright, Dan Merica and Aaron Kessler, CNN
Updated 8:30 AM ET, Sat July 20, 2019
Washington (CNN)Former Vice President Joe Biden drew dozens of Barack Obama's fundraisers to his presidential bid during the April-to-June fundraising quarter, but his rivals -- led by South Bend, Indiana, Mayor Pete Buttigieg -- also are capturing some of those elite bundlers, a CNN analysis of new 2020 campaign filings shows.
At least 40 top fundraisers to Obama's 2012 reelection effort donated to Buttigieg's campaign during the three-month period, helping to catapult the once little-known mayor to the top financial tier. Buttigieg raised nearly $25 million during the second quarter, outpacing Biden and all his other competitors for the Democratic presidential nomination.
In interviews this week, several Obama bundlers said the 37-year-old Buttigieg has energized a wide range of political donors.
Bryan Rafanelli, a Boston-based event planner who raised money for both Obama and Hillary Clinton, said he decided to "speed date" a few candidates before quickly settling on Buttigieg. He's already hosted four events for the mayor, and the first sold out so quickly that organizers had to add a 55-person lunch with only donors who gave the $2,800 maximum contribution for the primary, he said.
"There is no question that people in the Clinton and Obama worlds started to connect and say, 'Who is this guy?' And ask, 'Why is he so special?' " Rafanelli said about the early buzz around Buttigieg.
"Look, I have maxed out to Joe Biden, I love Joe," he added. "But this excitement of getting people invested in someone running for president, to me, it is priceless. Whether Pete goes all the way or not, I think that is part of it. We are hungry for a solution. So, people are willing to say, 'I am going to try this.'"

FBI Raid Uncovers ‘Cooler Filled With Male Genitalia,’ ‘Frankenstein’ Head at Body Donation Company
Marianne Dodson
Published 07.19.19 5:44PM ET
FBI agents who raided a Phoenix body-donation business amid allegations of wrongdoing found a “cooler filled with male genitalia,” a Frankenstein-esque head, and a bucket full of limbs, according to court documents cited by the Arizona Republic. The now-defunct Biological Resource Center, which accepted bodies of deceased persons and promised free pickup and cremation of any parts not sold, is at the center of a lawsuit in which 33 plaintiffs say the company sold body parts of their loved ones for profit, obtained the remains through “false statements,” or mishandled the remains. In the recently-revealed lawsuit, one former FBI Agent said he “personally observed various unsettling scenes” during the raid of the facility, and noted seeing unidentifiable bodies stacked on top of each other. He also said he saw a “large torso with the head removed and replaced with a smaller head sewn together in a ‘Frankenstein’ manner.” The civil lawsuit is being brought against the business and its owner, Stephen Gore. The trial is currently set to begin Oct. 21.
