Tuesday
Trump’s Orphans
It has been ONE MONTH, since we passed the deadline set by a federal judge for Trump’s administration to reunite separated migrant children with their parents. It seems there are no penalties for ignoring the deadline, which is perplexing and disheartening. It has become clear that our own government tore families apart without any intention of ever reuniting them. These are Trump’s orphans. There are still 528 children, some as young as five years old, still separated from their parents. It is suspected that 412 of these children’s parents have been deported. The ACLU is trying their best to find these families but they are facing an uphill battle. I know the current state of America is like a whack-a-mole game of scandal after scandal. It’s exhausting! But let’s not forget these kids. We would hope for at least that much if these innocent children were our own. Call you members of Congress today and remind them that this still needs to be remedied.

Doug Wardlow
Doug Wardlow is running on the GOP ticket for Minnesota’s Attorney General. A report from City Pages revealed that he is an active member of Alliance Defending Freedom. This is a nonprofit that states that its purpose is to defend free speech and religious liberty. The Southern Poverty Law Center has defined Alliance Defending Freedom as a hate group that supports “the recriminalization of homosexuality of the U.S. and criminalization abroad”, defends “state-sanctioned sterilization of trans people abroad” and claims that a “‘homosexual agenda’ will destroy Christianity and society.”
Wardl0w has a history with the Anoka-Hennepin School Board, pushing the agenda of boys and girls being forced to use bathrooms that match their genitalia and not their gender identity. He also believes that businesses can fire transgender individuals that violate their religious beliefs about human sexuality, and has bemoaned the Supreme Court’s decision to allow same-sex couples the right to marriage.

I don’t think Doug Wardlow has received enough press about this, do you? Let’s spend some time today sharing this story and asking questions. This is a serious situation and we need to make sure that Wardlow does not win in November.

From Rogan’s list:
The top student loan ombudsman at the Consumer Financial Protection Board has resigned due to the administration’s new policies that favor large financial companies and are detrimental to students.
http://thehill.com/…/403773-top-student-loan-official-resig….
https://www.npr.org/…/student-loan-watchdog-quits-blames-tr…
At the crux of this issue is the Department of Education’s new policy not to share student loan information with the CFPB and their attempts to limit student loan refunds for students claiming they were defrauded by their colleges. We can comment on this new regulation(https://www.regulations.gov/document?D=ED-2018-OPE-0027-0001), but only until this Thursday, August 30.
We should also contact the Department of Education (202-401-3000; US Department of Education, 400 Maryland Ave SW, Washington, DC 20202; betsy.devos@ed.gov) to protest these policies, and tell our MoCs that we want to see the Consumer Financial Protection Board do the job it was intended to--protect consumers, not companies.
