Letter: President Trump has asserted executive privilege over subpoenaed documents relating to the House Oversight Cmte.'s investigation into the Trump admin.'s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, according to a letter sent by DOJ to Chairman Cummings.
“I think it’s totally ridiculous that we would have a census without asking [citizenship], Trump said
AOC laments the Trump administration's push to add a citizenship question to the Census. The move is designed to "intimidate racial and immigrant communities for a partisan purpose," she said
Ocasio-Cortez says administration 'magically added' citizenship question to census
AOC: "Unspeakable horrors have been executed by the United States in the name of citizenship, in the name of determining who is a citizen, and by citizen we mean who is a person in our democracy…It is an acknowledgment of person-hood in American democracy."
House panel votes to hold attorney general, commerce secretary in contempt over census probe, the next step toward a court battle. (Washington Post) - President Trump lashed out Wednesday against a widening web of congressional probes that demonstrated the limits of his strategy to declare victory and try to move past the 22-month special counsel investigation into Russian interference that has consumed much of his presidency. Yet Trump’s latest efforts to defend himself ran into new obstacles as a House panel moved to hold two Cabinet officials — Attorney General William P. Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross — in contempt of Congress over the administration’s efforts to shield documents related to its decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census. The committee vote came several hours after Trump asserted executive privilege over the material related to the 2020 Census. By day’s end, there was more potential bad news for the White House as Hope Hicks, the president’s longtime adviser who left last year, agreed to become the first former aide to testify next week for a House Judiciary Committee probe into whether the president sought to obstruct the Russia investigation.
7am – B/C Stacey Abrams visits Hollywood to urge against boycott over Georgia's 'heartbeat' abortion law. (Fox News) -- Former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams flew to Los Angeles this week to encourage Hollywood executives and industry officials not to go through with boycotting Georgia over the state’s new heartbeat abortion law. The film industry has threatened to boycott Georgia due to the controversial law, which makes abortions illegal once a fetal heartbeat can be detected. That typically occurs around six weeks into a pregnancy, often before women realize they are pregnant. Though she doesn’t hold office, Abrams told Atlanta’s WSB-TV that her “mission is to make sure these jobs stay in Georgia.” She met with executives, producers, actors and low-level behind-the-scenes staffers to convince them that pulling business from Georgia would be premature. “I don’t disparage boycotts. They have their function. But this is a situation where the political realities are that a boycott won’t have the intended effect,” she told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

7am – E BERNIE PITCHES 'DEMOCRATIC SOCIALISM':
Bernie Sanders: Americans 'will be delighted to pay more in taxes' for free health care, education
Sen. Bernie Sanders: “Economic rights are human rights, and that is what I mean by Democratic Socialism”
Sanders: "While President Trump and his fellow oligarchs for our support of #DemocraticSocialism, they don't really oppose all forms of socialism. They may hate Democratic Socialism because it benefits working people but they absolutely love corporate socialism."
In speech on democratic socialism, Sen. Bernie Sanders quotes FDR: "Never before in all our history have these forces been so united against one candidate as they stand today. They are unanimous in their hate for me. And I welcome their hatred."
John Cusack @johncusack 15h15 hours ago: The speech we‘ve all been waiting for –
Dan Bongino @dbongino 12h12 hours ago: There is NO such thing as “democratic” socialism. Socialism is the govt control of the means of production and there’s NOTHING “democratic” about it. They’ll confiscate your freedom and your property, by force if necessary. Socialism is for imbeciles, don’t be an imbecile.
