STOP, LOOK, LISTEN! by Kathy Sherretts

It’s the Loneliest Number
It would only take one Senator to stand up to Trump, says James Fowler in the Atlantic. ‘With Republicans clinging to a precarious 50–49 majority, every individual GOP senator can serve as a check on Trump’s excesses whenever they choose to act.’ Put the Kavenaugh hearings on hold until the White House releases his records. Demand the president’s tax returns. Protect the special prosecutor’s investigation. Halt the unilateral destruction of NAFTA.
For awhile, I thought that my senator, Susan Collins of Maine, would be that senator. Like many of her fellow Republican lawmakers, she deplores, she decries, she laments. What she doesn't do is act. 
--Kathy Sherretts

Washington Post: U.S. is denying passports to Americans along the border, throwing their citizenship into question by Kevin Sieff
Under President Trump, passport denials and revocations are part of a "denaturalization" effort, questioning the citizenship of people who have lived, voted and worked in the United States for their entire lives. People Magazine talks to immigration lawyers advising U.S. citizens detained at the border. Esquire sees something more sinister here than a tough border policy at work.
