Skimm'd while wishing for a different ending to "T=e Haunting of Hill House"

QUOTE O= THE DAY

BORDER UP

The Story

The Trump admin is going all in on its immigration policy.

Explain.

Yesterday, the admin announced new rules that would d=ny asylum claims to migrants caught crossing the border illegally. Reminde=: people can claim asylum if they're facing or could face persecution for =hings like their race or religion back home. If they get asylum, they get =egal protection to stay in the US.

What are people saying about this?

The admin says the change will make sure asylum seeke=s enter at official entry ports, so it can deal with them in a "controlled= orderly, and lawful manner." Some think the move may be in response to th= migrant caravan making i=s way up to the border. Critics say this change is straight up illegal. Th= rules could reportedly go into effect as early as today. Expect to see th=s issue play out in the courts.

What else?

DACA. Yesterday, a federal appeals court ruled the program can stay. Last year,=President Trump announced he was phasing out the Obama-era program that protects thousands of kids w=o were brought to the US illegally from deportation. A number of states su=d the gov for ending it. Now, an appeals court is upholding a lower court'= ruling. Meaning: the law is here to stay. For now…

I'm listening…

The Trump admin has wanted the Supreme Court to skip over lower courts and take=this up, ASAP. This is the second time it's asked to skip the normal judic=al procedure. Last time, the Supremes said 'pass.' But there's a new conse=vative judge on the bench, so TBD if they're ready to take it up this time=

Anything else?

In another blow to the Trump admin, a federal judge <= href="https://link.theskimm.com/click/15033126.2816091/aHR0cHM6Ly9za2lt=XRoLmlzLzJRd2gxM08/5bae7b412ddf9c633bb801b8Bf39464ee" target="_blank" st=le="color:#00b2a9;text-decoration:none;">temporarily blocked constructio= of the Keystone XL Pipeline. The reason: the admin ignored facts on c=imate change and used outdated info to justify building it. This leaves th= future of the controversial pipeline up in the air.

Immigrat=on was one of the key issues for voters during this week's election. A=d the prez is wasting no time putting it back in the headlines and continu=ng his immigration crackdown.

REPEAT AFTER ME...

What people are finding out more about…

Thousand=Oaks, CA. Earlier this week, a gunman stormed a bar filled with colleg= students, killing 12 people – including a sergeant who rushed to the scene – and in=uring more than a dozen others. Yesterday, it came out that the suspect wa= a 28-year-old Marine veteran. He was later found dead by apparent suicide= There was no clear motive – but the suspect had a history of conc=rning behavior. He seemed to carry out the attack using a legally purchase= handgun, but with an extende= magazine (not legal in CA). This was the deadliest shooting since Par=land, FL this year. And came less than two weeks after a gunman killed 11 =eople at a synagogue in Pittsburgh, PA.

What to say when you need a political fix...

Just wait. Yesterday, thousands of protesters came out across the country to ad=ocate for special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation. It could be on s=aky ground after Jeff Sessions got kicked out as attorney general earlier =his week. Democrats are calling for an investigation into that. And the ac=ing AG doesn't look ready to =ecuse himself anytime soon. In midterms news, the Georgia governor's r=ce is still getting all the headlines. Brian Kemp (R) has declared victory, but Stacey Abrams (D) wa=ts every vote counted. Yesterday, Kemp resigned from his position as sec o= state – the office that oversees a recount if needed. The =lorida governor's race is also keeping people on edge. And everyone's still talking about Jim Acosta=– and whether the White House doctored a video to remove his press pass. And if that wasn't =razy enough, people showed up to Fox News host Tucker Carlson's home this week and apparently threat=ned him. Because that's a legal, normal thing to do to someone you disagre= with.

What to say when you get an alert to update your comp=ter…

I should probably do that, huh. Yesterday, Google sai= it was updating its policies=/a> on sexual harassment. That's because thousands of employees dipped out=of work last week to protest how Google reportedly handled some cases with top execs. Now, Google is=saying 'I hear you.' It's loosening a policy that required employees to se=tle cases behind closed doors. And says it will be open about these kinds =f allegations in the future.

What to say when you keep trying to do a headstand in=yoga…

Young at heart...like this guy.

What to say when you hear this might've been the highest midterm turnout since 196=…

You get = sticker. And you get a sticker. And you get a sticker.

What to say when your friend asks you for help with t=e baby shower...

Bring it=on.
