Here's what Congressman Curbelo had to say when he was confronted about turning his back on immigrant families: "I wish you had been upset when the Obama Administration had children in cages"
And here is President Trump and his administration using the same false talking points.
*President Trump: "They're all saying about separating the families and that's a Democrat bill. That's Democrats
* Sarah Huckabee Sanders: "Separating of illegal-alien families is [sic] the product of the same legal loopholes that Democrats refuse to close. And these laws are the same that have been on the books for over a decade."

The Threats Against the United States Will Only Increase
WASHINGTON, June 22 -- The Ripon Society issued the following news release:
In remarks yesterday morning before a breakfast meeting of The Ripon Society, U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) outlined the effort she is spearheading on Capitol Hill to not only rebuild America's military, but make America more energy secure.

WASHINGTON, June 22 -- The Ripon Society issued the following news release:
In remarks yesterday morning before a breakfast meeting of The Ripon Society, U.S. Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) outlined the effort she is spearheading on Capitol Hill to not only rebuild America's military, but make America more energy secure.
"Without a strong national defense, we simply do not have a nation," Ernst stated. "As a member of the Armed Services Committee and the Chair of the Emerging Threats and Capabilities Subcommittee, I have oversight over our emerging threats and those who are responsible for addressingthe threats that our adversaries pose, like our Special Operations Forces.
"Earlier this week, the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act. This year's bipartisan legislation will ensure that our war fighters are prepared to operate across the full spectrum of conflict and support the objectives that have been laid out in the President's 2018 National Defense Strategy, which is the first new national defense strategy that we have seen in a decade."
Ernst knows something about defense strategy, having spent over two decades in the Army Reserves. She served as a company commander during the Iraq War, and is the first-ever female combat veteran to earn a seat in the U.S. Senate. Her experience in the military no doubt gave her a first-hand understanding of the threats our troops face on the battlefield, and why it is important to work together to meet these threats - both abroad and here at home.
"I worked hard with my ranking member, Senator Martin Heinrich of New Mexico, to ensure this year's NDAA invests additional funding in innovative technologies," she said. She added that the goal of their bipartisan effort was to make sure the United States could "maintain technological superiority over near peer adversaries like China, Russia, Iran, particularly in the areas of hypersonics, unmanned systems, directed energy, and artificial intelligence."
"Nations like Russia and China are investing heavily in these areas," she continued, "and the United States must be relentless in its goal of maintaining our technological capabilities gap, and in some cases actually regaining it. Additionally, the NDAA provides much needed funding to our Special Operations Forces, who play a key role in combating terrorist networks and countering growing aggression by adversaries like Russia, China, and Iran."
Ernst said that the investment in America's Armed Forces was desperately needed and long overdue.
"Between the NDAA and the upcoming appropriations bills," she declared, "we're beginning the longer process of rebuilding our military following the devastating policies and sequestration of the Obama administration, and providing the flexibility needed for our military to make targeted investments for the future. The threats against the United States will only increase."
The Iowa lawmaker then turned her attention to another area that, she said, is critical for U.S. security around the globe - energy.
"A strong nation is more than just a strong military," she declared. "It also includes energy resilience. Harnessing an all-of-the-above energy strategy is critical to driving our nation forward in many ways, and renewable fuels are a real American success story, creating jobs and boosting our economy. Congress created the Renewable Fuel Standard, commonly referred to as the RFS, to expand the nation's renewable fuels sector and reduce our reliance on imported oil.
"The RFS is a law that is vital to the people of Iowa and to rural America. Rural America is the backbone of our country, and the RFS is an invaluable economic engine creating good paying jobs, raising incomes, increasing tax revenues, and offering new investment opportunities. My home state of Iowa leads the nation in renewable fuels production with 43 ethanol refineries capable of producing 4 billion gallons annually and 12 biodiesel facilities producing over 350 million gallons annually."
"In 2017, the renewable fuels industry created $2.4 billion in household income and supported nearly 50,000 jobs in my home state. Such jobs and investment are critical in rural areas. It's what we need to find long-term and sustainable success for struggling communities. The success we see in Iowa represents only a fraction of the economic impact seen across the 28 states with an ethanol facility. Last year, our nation's ethanol industry supported more than 350,000 American jobs and increased U.S. household income by $24 billion."
"Over the past several months, I have stressed to President Trump and our Senate colleagues during multiple White House meetings that a strong and robust RFS encourages consumer choice, investment, and innovation, and protects a diverse fuel mix which helps keep our nation more secure."

Seeking Historic Libertarian Party Items for National Convention

WASHINGTON, June 22 -- The Libertarian Party issued the following news release:
It has been just more than a year since the Libertarian Party Historical Preservation Committee was formed, and it has been an incredible journey. I have been privileged to travel to many state conventions and talk to many of you about the progress of this project and future plans, and during this time, have become aware that there are many treasures in the possession of our long-time members. If you have something from our early history, the Committee invites you to bring it with you to the National Convention inNew Orleans June 30, 2018-July 3, 2018 and visit our booth where will have some scanning equipment to capture these images from the past so that everyone can learn from and enjoy them.
It is just a few volunteers staffing this booth, so we cannot handle great quantities, but we would love to share in the experience of select items you could bring. These could include (but is certainly not limited to):
* Newsletters
* Campaign materials
* Buttons
* Brochures
* Flyers
* Photographs
We are particularly interested in items from the 1970s as that part of our history is in danger of being lost. If you have National Party items that you wish to donate, we may be able to take them or at least advise you of archives that would receive your treasurers. We cannot take large quantities of items (we have a modest storage locker in Parker, Colo.) but rare items can find their home in the national party archives.
Unfortunately, we cannot take possession of any state party items. We can assist in getting a limited amount scanned, though, and if these are items in danger of being thrown away, try to find a home for them. The committee encourages every state to have its own historical preservation effort, and we provide the hosting site for these records at LPedia.org -- which is a collaborative crowd-sourced electronic archive of all things Libertarian Party. Volunteers at the booth would be happy to give you a brief preview of items that are already located in the LPedia archives.
Please visit our booth even if you don't have any items to show off, as we will have some selected items for you to view and enjoy, including the original typed "Statement of Principles" created by John Hospers for the 1972 convention and a monitor playing some selected old footage that was right on the brink of disintegrating when we rescued and preserved it. That is not all. Elizabeth Nolan, the widow of the Libertarian Party's primary founder, David Nolan, had graciously donated David's personal files to the Party and some of those items will also be on display. The David Nolan Archive is truly the DNA of our early history.
We hope to see you there! Also, if you would like to help us fund this project, earmarked donations are gratefully accepted here.
In liberty,
Caryn Ann Harlos
Chair, Libertarian Party Historical Preservation Committee

WASHINGTON, June 22 -- The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee issued the following news release:
DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Lujan today announced that Jared Golden has earned a spot on the DCCC's highly competitive Red to Blue program.
Golden has worked hard in his community to earn a spot on Red to Blue by surpassing aggressive goals for grassroots engagement, local support, campaign organization, and fundraising. Beyond his demonstrated abilities to build a winning campaign infrastructure, Golden has deep roots in the district and a persuasive message that helped drive him to victory ina competitive Democratic primary.
"Jared Golden has been driven by service to his community and country his entire life, and his competitive campaign will ultimately mean voters in Maine have real representation in Congress," said DCCC Chairman Ben Ray Lujan. "From his time in the United States Marine Corps to his time in the Maine Legislature fighting for veterans' rights and affordable healthcare for his fellow Mainers, Jared's record speaks for itself. Jared is on track to win back this district and ensure working Maine families once again have a fighter on their side in the Second District."
Red to Blue is a highly competitive and battle-tested program at the DCCC that arms top-tier candidates with organizational and fundraising support to help them continue to run strong campaigns. Additionally, the DCCC provides strategic guidance, staff resources, candidate trainings, and more. It is not an endorsement.
In 2018, the DCCC will make more targeted and frequent additions to the Red to Blue program than in previous election cycles.

WASHINGTON, June 22 -- The Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee issued the following news release:
Five days ago we shared how Rick Scott has suffered over 100 scathing stories in the first 70 days of his campaign -- today he's up to over 140. His failure to forcefully condemn Trump's family separation policy, toxic health care agenda and fresh revelations about his corruption have all dominated the race. With a record like this it's no wonder Scott couldn't win by more than 1 point in historic GOP wave elections and spent more money to get fewer votes than any other Republican. See for yourself:
