Kijk de dems doen een grassroots-campagne, en de republikeinen doen dit juist niet. Het campagneteam van Trump is alleen geïnteresseerd in rijke Lobby figuren. En die willen natuurlijk weer een vette kluif.

quote:

Republicans have trailed Democrats in online fundraising ever since the medium was invented roughly two decades ago. But Trump has closed the gap, driving small-dollar donors who make recurring donations to the GOP like the party has never seen before.

According to RNC chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump’s campaign has already had eight seven-figure fundraising days this year, and has taken in money from more than 1 million new online donors since Trump’s inauguration – including 100,000 this year.

President Trump approved military strikes against Iran in retaliation for downing an American surveillance drone, but pulled back from launching them on Thursday night after a day of escalating tensions.

As late as 7 p.m. Thursday, military and diplomatic officials were expecting a strike, after intense discussions and debate at the White House among the president’s top national security officials and congressional leaders, according to multiple senior administration officials involved in or briefed on the deliberations.

Officials said the president had initially approved attacks on a handful of Iranian targets, like radar and missile batteries.

The operation was underway in its early stages when it was called off, a senior administration official said. Planes were in the air and ships were in position, but no missiles had been fired when word came to stand down, the official said.

The abrupt reversal put a halt to what would have been the president’s third military action against targets in the Middle East. Mr. Trump had struck twice at targets in Syria, in 2017 and 2018.

It was not clear whether Mr. Trump simply changed his mind on the strikes or whether the administration altered course because of logistics or strategy. It was also not clear whether the attacks might still go forward.

Asked about the plans for a strike and the decision to hold back, the White House declined to comment, as did Pentagon officials. No government officials asked The New York Times to withhold the article.

The retaliation plan was intended as a response to the shooting down of the unmanned, $130 million surveillance drone, which was struck Thursday morning by an Iranian surface-to-air missile, according to a senior administration official who was briefed on the military planning and spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss confidential plans.

The strike was set to take place just before dawn Friday in Iran to minimize risk to the Iranian military or to civilians.

But military officials received word a short time later that the strike was off, at least temporarily.

quote:

In front of a Ninth Circuit panel held this past Tuesday, a representative of the Trump administration made the argument that children who are apprehended at the U.S.-Mexico border are not entitled to receive toothbrushes and soap while they are detained, as it does not fall under the umbrella of safe and sanitary requirements.

Also discussed during the hearing was the case of having the detainees sleep on the cold concrete with nothing but an aluminum blanket, all while the facility’s lights are kept on. This also was argued by the Justice Department’s Sarah Fabian.
The three judges who oversaw the hearing appeared (understandably) confused as to how such a stance could be deliberated. “You’re really going to stand up and tell us that being able to sleep isn’t a question of safe and sanitary conditions?’” U.S. Circuit Judge Marsha Berzon asked Fabian. Fabian dodged the question multiple times, and never really got around to giving a clear answer.

What she did say, however, was that the Trump administration has not been violating any laws regarding their treatment of undocumented citizens who are detained at the border.

“Are you arguing seriously that you do not read the agreement as requiring you to do anything other than what I just described: cold all night long, lights on all night long, sleeping on concrete and you’ve got an aluminum foil blanket?” U.S. Circuit Judge William Fletcher said. “I find that inconceivable that the government would say that that is safe and sanitary.”
In a settlement that was agreed upon in 1997 (Jenny Lisette Flores v. Edwin Meese), it was decided that undocumented people taken into federal immigration custody must be treated humanely, and the facilities in which they are kept must also meet certain “safe and sanitary” standards.

As many would probably agree, a lack of toothbrush, soap and a normal place to sleep do not fall under those standards.
Watch the full video of the hearing, including the argument in question (which starts at 25 minutes in), below.
