Here are the top recipients of campaign contributions from the for-profit prison industry: -Henry Cuellar: $146,740 -Bob Corker: $101,858 -Marsha Blackburn: $101,250 -Marco Rubio: $92,050 -Charlie Crist: $86,450 -Mitch McConnell: $84,900 Spread their shame.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez@AOC

Reminder: Caging kids is a for-profit enterprise, & the people who profit off camps finance the political campaigns of those who legislate more caging. If you want to follow the money: GEO Group & CoreCivic are big ones. Look at the lenders & private equity grps they deal with.

The problem with public hearings is that while Mueller will pretty much just be reiterating what he already put in the report, the GOP reps will be putting on a grandstanding parade of paranoid accusations and tinfoil hattery to deflect. Dems better be prepared.

MEADOWS sends a warning shot on Fox: "Bob Mueller better be prepared, because I can tell you he will be cross examined ... and the American people will start to see the flaws in his report"

Monopolies are driving up prescription drug prices and keeping them high. Tell @SenatorBurr to #BLOCK205 – which takes away the best tool possible to break up monopolies and bring down drug prices for patients.

Heartbreaking thread of the children our government has let die in its custody in recent months. Before this period, no child had died in USG custody in a DECADE. It doesn’t have to be his way—our government is choosing for it to be this way:
Alvaro Bedoya@alvarombedoya

1/ Darlyn Cristabel Cordova-Valle hadn’t seen her mom in 9 years. She came here to see her mom. She was hospitalized soon after she got here. Her mom asked for Darlyn to be released to her. The government refused. She died on September 29 in our government’s custody. She was 10.

Lindsey Graham is the most powerful and glorified golf caddy in America. ⛳️ It's been a long time since we've had a Senator who's fighting on behalf of the working people of South Carolina. #AMJoy Help #SendLindseyHome: jaimeharrison.com/donate

Need 2 spend time & effort on protecting ports (a recent bust of biggest load ever of cocaine coming into USA!) What actually gets thru via ports & air? We NEED immigrants 2 work in fields, sea food indust.,etc. Americans 2 lazy & 2 much pride 2 do back breaking work 4 low wages!
U.S. Senator Mitch McConnell@SenMcConnell

We’ve been waiting for six weeks for Democrats to get serious about the crisis on our southern border. The entire country can see the need for more resources, but House Democrats are more focused on picking fights with the president. So Senate Republicans are going to take action

When Democratic voters were asked about the issues they felt candidates couldn't compromise on, their #1 response was climate. Candidates should show they hear their voters. We need to tell the debate moderators - we want to hear from our candidates about climate change.

As president, @realDonaldTrump has made 126 trips to his own clubs. But he's not just visiting. He's creating revenue -- at least $1.6M so far, for his own private businesses. Some of that $ came from the GOP. Some of it came from...you. washingtonpost.com/politics/when-…

1/ As a debate rages over calling migrant detention centers “concentration camps,” it is worth revisiting reporting and writing about the conditions at these facilities. Follow this thread for more.
