Sen. Mitch McConnell’s office released a health update today, saying he is still not ready to return to in-person work at the Capitol following his June 14 hospitalization. That means he has now been away from in-person Senate work for 43 days.

Instead of addressing the affordability crisis, Trump is ordering GOP Senators not to leave town until they "TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER" to pass his voter suppression bill. He knows the GOP is doomed in November, and the only way to combat that is to make it harder to vote.

Outcry is continuing over the ICE shooting death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo in Houston last week. “ICE was … hunting for Latinos. They saw a Brown man, a Latino man, driving a work truck, and they followed suit,” says Juan Proaño, CEO of the League of United Latin American Citizens.

DHS claims the ICE agent who killed a man in Maine yesterday was “fearing for public safety.” But shooting into a moving vehicle endangers the public & it's against policy. It's just like claims a driver weaponized his vehicle against ICE-a claim that's often made but never true in these situations.
