Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) speaks to the press following a congressional delegation's visit to the Clint migrant facility in Texas. The congresswoman railed against conditions at the Texas facility and said she herself did not feel "safe" in the presence of border patrol officers. "In that last facility, I was not safe from the officers in that facility," Ocasio-Cortez said Monday afternoon. AOC talked about "abuse in the facilities" and how people were told to drink water out of the toilet. The Congresswoman drove off as a reporter asked if she witnessed the atrocity:" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

A report shows the disgusting, sexist, and racist memes shared by Border Patrol agents in a Facebook group. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez engaged in oral sex with a detained migrant, according to screenshots of their postings. In one exchange, group members responded with indifference and wisecracks to the post of a news story about a 16-year-old Guatemalan migrant who died in May while in custody at a Border Patrol station in Weslaco, Texas. One member posted a GIF of Elmo with the quote, “Oh well.” Another responded with an image and the words “If he dies, he dies.” Created in August 2016, the Facebook group is called “I’m 10-15” and boasts roughly 9,500 members from across the country. (10-15 is Border Patrol code for “aliens in custody.”) The group described itself, in an online introduction, as a forum for “funny” and “serious” discussion about work with the patrol. “Remember you are never alone in this family,” the introduction said." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

An extreme hail storm has struck Guadalajara Mexico. John Iadarola breaks it down on The Damage Report.

Some immediately pointed the finger at climate change. “Hail more than a meter high, and then we wonder if climate change exists,” tweeted Enrique Alfaro Ramírez, governor of Jalisco, the state in southwestern Mexico where Guadalajara is. But scientists aren’t so sure of the link. “One good picture often leads people to go, ‘This is unprecedented,’” said John Allen, a meteorologist at Central Michigan University in Mount Pleasant. “It looks impressive, but we’ve seen similar events in other parts of the world fairly recently. … I really don’t think we have a way to say conclusively that an event like this is attributable to climate change.” #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

Reports of concrete milkshakes thrown by left-wing protesters in Portland spread like wildfire in right-wing circles, but is there any truth to them? John Iadarola and Parker Molloy break it down on The Damage Report.

Among the controversies was an attack carried out against Quillette editor Andy Ngo, caught on film by Oregonian reporter Jim Ryan. The June 29 footage shows black bloc demonstrators punching and kicking Ngo while others throw milkshakes at him. The trend of throwing milkshakes at far-right politicians and activists originated earlier this year in the United Kingdom, but has more recently made its way over to the United States. Supporters of the practice see it as a way to humiliate political opponents and make them fear public organizing. Critics correctly note that this is a form of battery but have also warned that this tactic could quickly escalate into more damaging, permanent attacks involving acid or other corrosive chemicals. According to some on the far-right, their worst fears of such an escalation were realized during the attack on Ngo. In reality, there’s not any actual evidence of that -- and that’s a big problem." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

In surveys taken immediately after the first and second debates in Miami, Warren and Harris were widely seen as outperforming in their respective appearances, eroding former Vice President Joe Biden’s perceived edge as the most electable candidate." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

I’m actually a little surprised that apparently no previous book has had that title. The reason may be that other writers have been more humble than Sunkara, the founding editor and publisher of Jacobin magazine, and less willing to elicit inevitable comparisons between their work and Marx’s. For no writer, and certainly not Sunkara, will fare well under such a comparison. 41eQaZRTc7L._SX321_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg But I don’t want to be too harsh on Sunkara, whose magazine has performed useful services for the American left. Sunkara is an effective popularizer and, in an age of mass ignorance, there’s much to be said for popularizations. The book is written for the uninitiated, and if it succeeds in piquing young readers’ interest in socialism, then it has served its purpose. The title is a misnomer, however, for the book is no manifesto. It is essentially a critical history of socialism with a couple of chapters at the beginning and the end on the present and possible future of the left." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The Fox & Friends hosts drastically watered down the significance of this revelation, leaving out key details from Taylor’s testimony. During Wednesday’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee, Taylor testified that a “member of my staff could hear President Trump on the phone” asking Sondland about “the investigations,” referring to Trump’s campaign to pressure Ukraine into announcing an investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden and Burisma, the Ukrainian energy company whose board Biden’s son Hunter served on. According to Taylor, Sondland told Trump that “the Ukrainians were ready to move forward” with the investigations. National security experts have emphasized the remarkable security breach in making a private cell phone call to the president. Larry Pfeiffer, former chief of staff to the CIA director, said that “the security ramifications are insane -- using an open cellphone to communicate with the president of the United States.” He pointed out that Ukraine is a country “that is so wired with Russian intelligence, you can almost take it to the bank that the Russians were listening in on the call.” Former U.S. Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul tweeted that “ambassadors rarely call presidents directly” and stressed that “that usually happens only during a major crisis.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

The military, the document reveals, has focused particular attention on an interfaith group peacefully protesting the Trump administration’s child separation policy. The document includes what’s called a “threat estimate” — an assessment detailing the risk of perceived border threats. Among those threats are protests by members of religious groups against “the detention of families and children,” as well as anti-ICE protests and protests by “anti border-wall extremists.” Asked why they were monitoring an interfaith group, Defense Department spokesman John Cornelio replied, "DoD works closely to support Federal law enforcement agencies along the Southwest border. Law enforcement agencies share information regarding migrant caravans and protestors with DoD consistent with applicable laws and policies for DoD force protection purposes." Jake Laperruque, Senior Counsel for the Constitution Project at the Project on Government Oversight, said of the document: “The ‘threat estimates’ focused on protesters are highly disturbing. Cataloging individuals protesting government policy creates serious risk of abuse, and even without misconduct, monitoring protesters is likely to chill the exercise of First Amendment rights.”" #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks

According to CNN, Giuliani was overheard discussing details of the podcast with an unidentified woman at a New York City restaurant Saturday—including recording dates, release dates, logo design, and the process of distributing the podcast on iTunes and other platforms. The former New York mayor and current Trump lawyer reportedly said he’d hope the podcast would have four or five episodes “to analyze the impeachment in every aspect,” and seemed to want to have four episodes completed before a prospective Senate trial. He also mentioned publishing two op-eds in newspapers, one discussing why Trump was “unimpeachable” and another one explaining his own defense of Trump." #TheDamageReport #JohnIadarola #TheYoungTurks
