Federal Homeland Security needs to assess the detention facilities for the current storm in the Gulf of Mexico.
The people seeking asylum must are not to be placed in greater danger. They must be released before the conditions deteriorate further.

Democratic (click here) presidential candidate Kirsten Gillibrand addresses supporters in Bloomfield Hills on July 12, 2019.

The New York Senator hitting Michigan, Ohio and Pennsylvania....
...Toasting to clean water, which senator Kirsten Gillibrand calls a human right. This as the Democratic Presidential hopeful looked at solar panels that take air condensation and turn it into water. An issue she says hits close to home for everyone.
“I would make sure we would invest in infrastructure nationwide. The experts have come up with a figure of a trillion dollars over 25 years are needed to ensure safe drinking water for all Americans. So I would aspire to have a 400 billion dollar budget over 10 years just for safe drinking water in all states,” she said.
“Wanting people to be held accountable for what's happened in the City of Flint, surrounding the water crisis, and she was asking between that and what we are still fighting for and I did tell her we are fighting for in home plumbing, fixtures, appliances,” said Mayor Karen Weaver.
Gillibrand also visiting local shops downtown. One business owner says the Senator’s push for empowering women caught her attention....
I've been waiting for the day.

NOAA GOES East Gulf of Mexico (click here for 8 hour loop-thank you)
These Climate Crisis storms are water loving so it makes sense it is concentrated over the Gulf. The winds will be pushing water not only into the Gulf shoreline, but, back up the Mississippi. It is an inverted system.

The coastal areas are looking good. The North Platte River and Upper Mississippi is still swollen. The Mid-Atlantic area is soaked. The Gulf storm may make it's way to those Mid-Atlantic states within a week or so. If it does it will complicate the drainage situation there.
Intimidation and threats is how one can buy management of the law.
We saw the same thing with Trump and Stephanie Clifford. A Trump lackey approached her in a parking lot when she was with her daughter. Same thing. Money is no object when it comes to fun and games.

Not long after a 14-year-old girl (click here) reported Jeffery Epstein to authorities in 2005, she says she received a warning from someone who claimed to be in contact with the well-connected financier.
The girl would be paid cash if she agreed not to cooperate with law enforcement, the person told the accuser, adding that "those who help him will be compensated and those who hurt him will be dealt with," according to a Palm Beach, Florida, police report reflecting the accuser's statement.
The threat was one of many intimidation and bare-knuckle tactics that accusers and witnesses told police they faced after Florida authorities opened their first investigation into Epstein.

In addition to removing newspaper stands that carry copies of The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today, the company plans to remove shelving fixtures that display whole bean coffee and grab-and-go snacks.
The New York Post first reported the coffee chain’s plans to stop selling newspapers at its roughly 8,600 company-owned stores in the U.S.
“We are always looking at what we offer our customers in our stores and making adjustments to our portfolio based on changing customer behavior,” Starbucks spokeswoman Sanja Gould said in a statement.
As the media landscape changes, more customers are reading their news online. The Pew Research Center estimates that weekday circulation of print newspapers fell 12% last year, while weekday digital circulation jumped 6%. Both the Times and the Journal reported that their own digital readership increased by more than 20% in 2018....
I still purchase newspapers from these boxes, especially when I am traveling. I don't know how much newsprint Starbucks sold, but, there is always the sidewalk outside of Starbucks.

Local news is the lifeblood of communities. (click here) But with traditional models of paying for local coverage no longer working, residents of too many cities, towns, and neighborhoods find themselves with little of the information they need to be informed, involved citizens.
Last week, the Local News Lab, launched by the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation with funding from the Knight Foundation, issued a progress report on its first 18 months of working with community journalism projects in New Jersey. (Nieman Lab’s Joseph Lichterman laid out some of the findings here, focusing on the lessons for philanthropists; you can download a PDF of the full report here. And, full disclosure, Knight is also a funder of Nieman Lab.)
The report is chock full of interesting ideas about collaboration, community engagement, and the role of philanthropy. Some of those ideas are so old that they’re new again. To wit: A $5,000 experimentation grant that was used in part to purchase newspaper boxes, thus saving New Brunswick Today some $300 a month....
The Liars' Club - The Lawless Club
The country has a problem. These men are anti-constitutionalists. Bill Barr is not an attorney general, except in name only. There is no way around the fact that in order to change the USA Constitution is through the Amendment process. The problem with rewording the idea of the Census to require a citizenship question is that it opens up the country to vulnerability in deciding a citizen. Not long ago Trump wanted to eliminate birthright citizenship.
These folks pose a real threat to the USA Constitution and the people need to recognize that.

The House will vote Tuesday (click here) to hold Attorney General William P. Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in contempt of Congress for failing to provide documents related to the Trump administration’s plan to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.
In a statement Thursday, House Majority Leader Steny H. Hoyer (D-Md.) said the House “will not shirk from its oversight of this Administration and its malign effort to silence the voices of millions in our democracy and deny resources to communities in need of them.”
Barr and Ross have ignored congressional subpoenas and have sought to “subvert the 2020 Census with the addition of a citizenship question meant only to deter minorities from participating and leading to an undercount in parts of the country,” Hoyer added....
