1. Immigration bills in the House are not looking good.  But (From Rogan's list)

The more conservative (Goodlatte) of the two immigration bills failed in the House Thursday.  The compromise bill (Ryan/Trump), being a compromise between the center and right factions of the GOP, has been delayed until today.  https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/21/house-gop-immigration-trump-661214 Let’s call our representatives and tell them to vote no on Ryan’s bill.  It is much too restrictive and punitive.

2. Also from Rogan's list:

In a very close vote, the House passed the redesigned Farm Bill Thursday.  It includes major changes to the SNAP (food stamps) program.  The Senate is working on a bi-partisan version, which does not include that change.  https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/21/house-passes-farm-bill-663124  Let’s tell our senators to continue to leave changes to SNAP out of their version so as to not put an even bigger burden on our most vulnerable. 

3. I try to avoid too much drama, but this bit on the Mueller probe is interesting.

“If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months.”
