Would just go away . Good afternoon, everyone. Welcome to the lead. Mixed messages and confusion and uncertainty for the 2,300plus undocumented children seized from their parents by the u. S. Government. President trump is talking tough an blaming democrats today after the dramatic reversal yesterday on his administrations own practice of separating every family crossing the southwest border illegally and while the president continues the blow off steam his administration is scrambling to contain the fall yacht and the confusion over his hastily written executive order changing his own policy of taking every undocumented immigrant child crossing the border from his or her parents, an order may or may not be legal, an order may or may be effective and while the president is issuing conflicting messages, his daughter and wife are attempting to put a compassionate face on a most callous policy.

Along with willie and me, we have donny deutsch, david cevallos, former msnbc contributor Barbara Mcquaid.

Just an absolutely shocking sentence that, again, suggests that not on that Paul Manafort had no need to apologize in the eyes of this judge and also suggested that there are two americas when it comes to justice, that if youre a wealthy, white whitecollar criminal, youre treated one way and if not youre treated another. Paul manafort did not apologize. The recommendation was 19 t

Just some of what has been going on in the past couple of hours as weve been watching there in caracas on the streets and learning cnn has been taken off the air there. Journalist stefano is in the capital of caracas and tell us what is happening right now. Reporter what is happening, brooke, is that the intense standoff between the Security Military forces who are still on the side of embattled president Nicolas Maduro and the propertiers that have be propertiers and the protests here are still ongoing. Just at the end of this road, just at the background of the pictures, you could see smoke rising because teargas has been used profusely today and paramedics caring those affected or injured. Weve been hearing for the best part of today live ammunition being fired here in caracas. Which is quite a significant development
Unnecessary swipe at bidens age. Team biden and team castro continue the feud off the debate stage with bidens camp crying cheap shot and castro kanderring that he was just Fact Checking biden. But joe biden didnt exactly leave the debate unscathed either. The day after the debate jokes about biden and record players, yes, he mentioned record players began to shift into a sharp critique first on social media anocolluding from my next guest and then in columns and commentary to Lindsey Daviss question on repairing the legacy of slavery.
