U.S. trailed "rest of world" in refugee resettlement in 2017 and 2018... It had previously led the world on this measure for decades, admitting more refugees each year than all other countries combined.

"In 2017, Kentucky received $40 billion more from the federal government than it paid in taxes. That’s about one-fifth of the state’s G.D.P.; if Kentucky were a country, we’d say that it was receiving foreign aid on an almost inconceivable scale." nytimes.com/2019/07/01/opi…

.@realDonaldTrump tells @WMALDC he'll go to a @Redskins game. And adds this about owner Dan Snyder: "And actually the owner is - he's really a good guy. He's been a supporter and he's done a very good job. You have a good team."

Great story from @melbournecoal: what we call the policy split among Democrats between progressives and liberals is really better described as a split between incrementalism and strucutal change google.com/amp/s/www.nyti…

Brian Kemp could sign #HB481 in the next 24 hours effectively banning abortion in the state of #Georgia. This bill makes women who seek abortion criminals facing jail time. Women could be investigated by the police for miscarriages. Watch Sen. Jen Jordan: ajc.com/blog/politics/…
