Pelosi is trying to figure who are these people, where did they come from, and do if they realy know they are representing others?

Revenge...

Revenge porn or revenge pornography is the distribution of sexually explicit images or video of individuals without their permission.^[1] The sexually explicit images or video may be made by a partner of an intimate relationship with the knowledge and consent of the subject, or it may be made without his or her knowledge. The possession of the material may be used by the perpetrators to blackmail the subjects into performing other sex acts, to coerce them into continuing the relationship, or to punish them for ending the relationship.

In the wake of civil lawsuits and the increasing numbers of reported incidents, legislation has been passed in a number of countries and jurisdictions to outlaw the practice, though approaches have varied. The practice has also been described as a form of psychological abuse and domestic violence, as well as a form of sexual abuse.

Facebook is rolling out technology to make it easier to find and remove intimate pictures and videos posted without the subject's consent, often called "revenge porn."

Capricious...

The U.S. Supreme Court announced that it is expanding the scope of the case against the Trump administration's decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, agreeing to decide whether the move violated the Constitution.

The move comes after a federal judge in California ruled earlier this month that Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, whose agency oversees the census, violated the Constitution's Enumeration Clause because it prevents the government from conducting an accurate count of every living person in the country, citing a concern that fewer immigrants will respond to the survey and therefore decrease the accuracy of the 2020 census.

A New York federal judge also blocked the administration from including the question. The judge called Ross' decision "arbitrary and capricious" because it would "materially reduce response rates among immigrant and Hispanic households."

Non-Permanent...

U.S. permanent residence is permanent in many ways. The green card immigration status allows you to live and work in the U.S. indefinitely. However, it is possible to be deported.

Each year the U.S. deports thousands of lawful permanent residents for committing minor, nonviolent crimes.

Crimes that lead to deportation are called “deportable offenses” and the list, issued by the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) is extensive. 

Immigration law provides that a crime can escape classification as a crime of moral turpitude if it is a "petty offense." The petty offense exception applies if the penalty for the crime committed could never exceed one year of imprisonment, and if any time the person actually served in prison was less than six months.

Nothing is new today, may be surprising to the Uninformed Media, but that is just about it.

Pull...

The Senate passed legislation to pull U.S. military support for the Saudi and Emirati-led coalition in Yemen and issue a strong bipartisan rebuke of President Donald Trump's Middle East policy. 
It's the first time a War Powers resolution has passed both chambers of Congress to pull back American forces from a conflict where the commander-in-chief has deployed them. The House approved the measure last month, and together sets up a showdown with the White House and potentially Trump's first veto.

The resolution passed with mostly Democratic support and a handful of Republicans crossing the aisle. The final vote was 54-46. 

"Today, we begin the process of reclaiming our constitutional power by ending U.S. involvement in a war that has not been authorized by Congress and is clearly unconstitutional," Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., said.  Under the constitution, Congress has the authority to declare war, but it has never used the War Powers Act of 1973 to pull back American forces from a conflict.

On the otherhand, when Trump decided to pull out of Syria, senators were complaining about it. So what is it. In both cases, Obama started the Syria and the Yemeni participation.   Just a thought.

Green...

 

The Green New Deal, spearheaded by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), strives for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in the United States while creating millions of "good, high-wage jobs." 

McConnell blasted the progressive proposal  "Our Democratic colleagues have taken all the debunked philosophies of the last hundred years, rolled them into one giant package, and thrown a little green paint on them to make them look new. But there's nothing remotely new about a proposal to centralize control over the economy and raise taxes on the American people to pay for it."

Please reject the proposal, she didn't mean it to go any further than being rejected. It is just building names that's all.

If it is a genius idea, then we have to fire all the rest who been in the house for years and failed to discover something like that. Just a thought.

Resilience...

Mayor Bill de Blasio unveiled a $10 billion proposal to bulk up lower Manhattan in an attempt to ensure the tip of the island is not wiped away amid climate change.

The results of a climate resilience study founds that by the 2050s, 37 percent of buildings in lower Manhattan will be vulnerable to storm surges.

In response, de Blasio said they would like to extend the shoreline into the East River by up to 500 feet or two city blocks.  

The Mayor has big plan with tens of billions of dollars to fix problems in 2050, while can't run a subway system or a six inches of snow that froze the city and the children in the street.

Energy...

The U.S. military has sent a nuclear-capable mainstay of its aerial might over the disputed South China Sea, where China has laid claim to trillions of dollars worth of oil and gas reserves.

"Two B-52H Stratofortress bombers took off from Andersen Air Force Base, Guam, and conducted routine training in the vicinity of the South China Sea before returning to base." 

The move followed reports last week of another pair of B-52s flying over China-claimed islands in the South China Sea as the U.S. participated in the COPE North 2019 exercise alongside regional allies Australia and Japan. 

It also came just a day after Secretary of State Mike Pompeo accused Beijing of "illegal island-building in international waterways" in order to block other claimants to the South China Sea "from accessing more than $2.5 trillion in recoverable energy reserves."
