FBI confirms Russia, Iran have obtained US voter information and are attempting to influence the 2020 election

Quote:
Earlier in the day, the Washington Post reported that two US officials had connected Iran to a series of threatening emails sent to Democratic voters.

The emails, which claimed to be sent by a far-right group called the Proud Boys, told voters to change their registration and vote for Donald Trump.

"You will vote for Trump on Election Day or we will come after you," they read.

I don't see how anything they stated specifically is against Trump.

Did he just say ‘Indian Summer’? Is that allowed anymore? I sense a Twitter controversy brewing.

I assume the Bernie Bros are going to complain about the section on incremental change. But come on, don't you miss that dude? I hope he's booked for one of these a day for the next two weeks, immediately following any Trump rally wherever possible.

Again on the "What if Obama had done that" train.

Absolute gold.

Just poor form, especially for a Canadian magazine of such stature.

Imagine, even after 2016, even after having the issue explained multiple times this very cycle, still being too dense to understand that polling errors are correlated.

For the hundredth time...

I seem to recall a high school student, maybe in Florida, giving a valedictorian speech and stating it was a bunch of sayings by Trump, so everyone was clapping and cheering, and then at the end, they said no, it was Obama.


Nope, it was Kentucky.

"Just kidding," Bowling said. "That was Barack Obama."

Parents Of 545 Children Separated At U.S.-Mexico Border Still Can't Be Found

Quote:
Despite a federal judge's order that the government reunite families who had been separated at the U.S.-Mexico border under the Trump administration's "no tolerance" migration policy, the parents of 545 children still can't be found, according to a court document filed Tuesday by the U.S. Justice Department and the American Civil Liberties Union.

Thousands of families were separated under the policy before the Trump administration ended the practice in 2018. The ACLU successfully sued the government, winning a court order to reunite families. Thousands of parents and children were reunited within weeks.
Quote:
NPR's Joel Rose reports that the children initially went into a shelter system before being placed with sponsors across the country and that many will likely try to remain in the United States. The ACLU's Gelernt says about 360 of the children still have not been located.
