Census and summit and subpoena, oh my!

Maanvi Singh and Lois Beckett, here -- with an updated summary to close out our political news day.

Updated

The Washington Post is reporting that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will attempt to finalize a deal to raise the debt ceiling within the coming weeks, rather than waiting until September, as many lawmakers had expected.

Here’s more from The Post:

Pelosi, the California Democrat, told reporters she wants to raise the debt ceiling as part of a deal that would set spending levels for the next two years. Many lawmakers on Capitol Hill had expected a vote on a spending and debt package wouldn’t occur until September, but Pelosi indicated for the first time Thursday they needed to act more swiftly...

White House officials want to avoid another chaotic shutdown if Congress doesn’t approve a funding bill by the end of September, and many agencies had been caught unprepared during the 35-day shutdown that began in December 2018.

The White House has been trying to broker a budget deal with lawmakers for more than a month, but the Trump administration and lawmakers remain far apart on how much money they want to authorize for the federal budget.

Also announcing new policies today was Democratic primary contender Pete Buttigieg, who rolled out his “Douglass Plan” today on NPR’s Morning Edition program.

Here are the details, from NPR:

His “Douglass Plan” aims to establish a $10 billion fund for black entrepreneurs over five years, invest $25 billion in historically black colleges, legalize marijuana, expunge past drug convictions, reduce the prison population by half and pass a new Voting Rights Act to further empower the federal government to ensure voting access.

His campaign says it is equal in scale to the Marshall Plan, which used the equivalent of approximately $100 billion at current value to rebuild Europe after World War II. Buttigieg says the program would be enacted alongside potential direct reparations for slavery, not in place of it.

Ari Berman, of Mother Jones, explains that though there will be no citizenship question, Trump’s press conference still included “disturbing points.”

David Shepardson of Reuters has shared a statement from the justice department, confirming that it will remove the citizenship question from the census questionnaire.

New York Civil Liberties Union executive director Donna Lieberman said, of Trump’s executive order on the census:

“After losing in the highest court in the land last month, President Trump’s executive order is nothing more than flailing in defeat. The president has finally given up the ghost of a citizenship question on the 2020 census, meaning all New Yorkers can participate and be counted without the distraction of his increasingly empty threats. With our partners, the NYCLU will continue to fight – and win – in court against any attempt to implement his cruel anti-immigrant agenda.”

NPR’s census correspondent Hansi Lo Wang points out that Trump’s executive order may be redundant.

Trump’s announcement that he would use his executive authority to direct federal agencies to share existing data about the number of citizens and non-citizens in the United States, rather than trying to add a citizenship question to the census, was greeted as a victory by voting rights activists.

Some conservatives, including members of Trump’s own administration, saw the news as a defeat, Axios’ Jonathan Swan reported.

Trump Backs Away from Attempt to Add Citizenship Question to 2020 Census

President Trump backed away from an attempt to force a question about US citizenship onto the US census, announcing in a press conference that he was instead directing federal agencies to share government records in order to assemble an estimate of the number of citizens and non-citizens living in the United States.

The announcement comes weeks after the supreme court blocked the Trump administration’s attempt to add a question about citizenship to the United States’ once-a-decade count of all residents, a move that civil rights groups and the Census Bureau’s own research suggested would lead to an undercount of immigrants of color.

Civil rights advocates greeted Trump’s announcement of the alternate data collection effort as a victory.

“It’s over. We won,” Dale Ho, the director of the American Civil Liberties Union’s Voting Rights Project, wrote on Twitter.

Both Trump and Attorney General William Barr called the decision a logistical one, saying that there was simply not enough time to resolve the lawsuits over adding a citizenship question to the census itself.

Trump had previously pledged to use his executive power to find a new way to ask the citizenship question, raising concerns that he might try to defy or work around the supreme court’s ruling.

Speaking after the president, the attorney general insisted that concerns that the President would defy the court and print the citizenship question by “executive fiat” were nothing but “rank speculation.”

In a ruling last month, the supreme court upheld a lower court decision against Trump, saying that the commerce department’s stated rationale for adding the citizenship question – to protect voting rights – “seems to have been contrived” and was a “distraction”.

Citing the US Census Bureau’s own research, plaintiffs in the case had argued that the unprecedented inclusion of such a question was likely to lead to a significant undercount in the American population. Such an undercount, which would mostly affect minority immigrant communities, could benefit Republicans at the ballot box, according to political research unearthed during the case.

Updated

This is Lois Beckett and Maanvi Singh, taking over live politics coverage from our West Coast bureau.

President Trump is expected to hold a press conference momentarily on his plan for getting around a Supreme Court ruling blocking his administration from asking about US citizenship on the once-a-decade census count of all Americans.

Multiple media outlets have reported that he’s planning to announce an alternate route for collecting citizenship data that does not involve the 2020 census.

Civil rights advocates have argued that adding a citizenship question would likely result in an undercount of immigrants of color, which could benefit Republicans electorally.

If so, Dale Ho, the director of the ACLU’s voting rights project argued earlier today, that will mean a “total defeat” for the Trump administration on this issue.

“An ‘action’ is likely little more than a press release,” Michael Waldman, the head of the progressive Brennan Center, wrote earlier today.

Subpoenas, immigration raids and social media...

The latest update on the day’s events from Jessica Glenza, signing off coverage in New York.

  • A dozen former Trump administration officials or supporters have been subpoenaed by the Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee, including his advisor and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
  • The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a preliminary lawsuit in anticipation of immigration raids this weekend.
  • It remains unclear what Trump may announce at the White House Rose Garden press conference called to address the citizenship question on the decennial US Census, although Trump said he had a solution that would be, “really good.”
  • At a “social media summit,” where no representatives of social media companies were present, Trump derided the media and claimed social media platforms were guilty of conservative bias. He also said he would invite social media executives to the White House.

Before the White House livestream of Trump’s “social media summit” ended, he had just announced intentions to invite representatives of the “big social media platforms,” to the White House.

He also said his administration would use “all regulatory and legislative solutions” to protect “free speech,” and provide “more freedom”.

I am not speaking for our side, I don’t even know if you’re on our side,” said Trump. He continued, “Big tech must not censor the voices of the American people.”

Trump said the media is in “a collusion” with social media companies. He has also used the summit to continue to allege social media platforms are biased against conservatives and “our party”.

He also acknowledged how some members of the invited audience may have violated terms of service with their content. When social media banned some people, he said, “In all fairness some of you I can understand... Some of you are out there.”

Trump also said he might invite some of the same audience members to meetings with representatives of tech platforms.

You’re very special people, you’re very brilliant people in many cases... This new technology is so powerful and so important and is has to be used fairly,” said Trump.

The livestream for the “social media summit” abruptly ended as Trump was about to take questions. Trump had just taken the first question.

Trump has just teased his upcoming press conference in the Rose Garden about a citizenship question on the US Census: “We have a solution that will be really good for a lot of people.”

There have been conflicting reports about what Trump will announce at the Rose Garden.

Trump's social media supporters gather at White House

President Trump’s so-called social media summit is happening now, and you can watch a livestream here. No representatives of the actual platforms being discussed – namely Facebook, Twitter and Google – are at the summit.

Instead, Trump invited “friends” and social media supporters, described by one of our reporters as an event to, “as a platform for rightwing conspiracy theorists, bigots and the professionally aggrieved.”

Trump used the planned speech to berate the media and brag about his own social media prowess.

“Can you imagine if we were covered fairly?” said Trump, claiming his poll numbers were at an all-time high.

The American Civil Liberties Union and other immigration legal aid groups have filed a preemptive lawsuit in federal court in New York, anticipating immigration raids over the weekend. The Trump administration said raids would start on Sunday (they have announced, and then postponed, these raids in the past).

The ACLU aims to protect refugee families from El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras and others, who fled violence. Here is more from a statement:

The Trump Administration’s plan to arrest and deport thousands of Central American families and children without giving them a fair day in court is both illegal and immoral,” said Ahilan Arulanantham, senior counsel at the ACLU Southern California. “More than one hundred years ago, the Supreme Court decided that immigrants could not be deported without due process. These vulnerable refugees deserve that basic protection.”

The Associated Press has developed an estimate of the cost of President Trump’s Independence Day “extravaganza”: $5.4m.

Interior Secretary David Bernhardt provided the latest share of costs, $2.45 million for his agency, in a letter to lawmakers, saying his agency pulled money from operating funds for national parks, recreation fees, and another source to help fund Trump’s Salute to America.

.... In addition, the Department of Defense says its costs came to $1.2 million. Despite repeated requests, the Pentagon as of Thursday refused to provide a precise breakdown.

The military’s efforts included positioning tanks on flat-bed trailers around the capital, meeting Trump’s desire for tanks while minimizing damage to district roads from the heavy armor.

... The District of Columbia estimates it spent about $1.7 million not including police expenses for related demonstrations.

The Associated Press also notes that President Trump’s inauguration, despite being the most expensive in history, did not reimburse Washington DC for $7.3m in expenses.

Here is more from Elizabeth Warren’s new plan to fix the American immigration system, which she released on Medium earlier today.

We need expanded legal immigration that will grow our economy, reunite families, and meet our labor market demands. We need real reform that provides cost-effective security at our borders, addresses the root causes of migration, and provides a path to status and citizenship so that our neighbors don’t have to live in fear. That’s why today I’m announcing my plan for immigration reform — to create a rules-based system that is fair, humane, and that reflects our values.

She goes on to lay out detailed policies on establishing new immigration courts, reducing immigration detection, and reforming Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

Under Warren’s plan, ICE would become an agency devoted to, “screening cargo, identifying counterfeit goods, and preventing smuggling and trafficking.”

ABC News just reported President Trump “is backing down” from his fight over the citizenship question on the US Census. This appears to conflict with earlier reports that he would try to issue an executive order supporting a citizenship question. From ABC News:

The expected announcement will bring to a close weeks of escalating confusion within the government over his demands that the controversial question be included despite a Supreme Court order that had blocked the move. The White House declined to comment about what exactly the president plans to announce.

Including a citizenship question on the US Census is a vital political issue, because the decennial count of Americans determines the number of Congressional representatives allotted to each state.

For close watchers of the White House, this build up is nothing new. Just today we had a new account of how Trump likes to use confusion and social media to build “suspense” of upcoming announcements, a lot like reality television.

The most recent example was published in a Washington Post excerpt of Tim Alberta’s forthcoming book American Carnage. From the Washington Post’s story:

Alberta reports that Trump berated [former House Speaker Paul] Ryan over a 2018 spending bill because it didn’t include funding for his border wall but then said he would sign it if Ryan were to give him time to build suspense on Twitter. Ryan agreed and then publicly sang the president’s praises after the meeting.”

Trump has previewed his speech already today on Twitter. He said he would make an announcement in the White House Rose Garden at 5pm ET.

The so-called domestic gag rule mirrors the “Mexico City policy,” sometimes called the “global gag rule”. The Mexico City policy was first introduced by President Ronald Reagan in 1984, and barred clinics which received US international aide from referring women to abortion services.

In every presidential term since, Democratic presidents have rolled back the policy and Republicans have reinstated it.

However, the Title X funding at issue in the Ninth Circuit today differs because it goes to domestic clinics. This represents a significant tightening of abortion access, and will be viewed as a victory by the conservative Christians who the Trump-Pence administration has courted.

Federal court allows Trump administration to impose abortion "gag rule"

A federal court has refused to block the Trump administration’s domestic gag rule, which bars federally funded health clinics from referring women to abortion services.

The ruling is yet another blow to abortion services providers, who have been threatened across the United States this year. From our earlier reporting on the “gag rule”:

Under the rule, clinics that receive federal family planning funding are prohibited from operating in facilities that also provide abortions, imposing what it described as “financial and physical” separation.

Though US law prohibits the use of federal family planning funds to pay for abortions, conservative anti-abortion activists argue that groups that provide the procedure are supported indirectly.

Planned Parenthood, which provides a range of reproductive health services including abortions, said the new rule amounts to a “gag rule” because it forces doctors to withhold medical information from patients.

“No country, even one as powerful as ours, can go it alone,” in the 21st century, Biden said at his foreign policy speech at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

Former Vice President Joe Biden is speaking now about his “plan for leading the Democratic world”. Here is a livestream of the speech.

We are coming in at the tail end, and Biden is now speaking about use of force, and ending “forever wars”.

“We should bring home the vast majority of our combat troops,” and “narrowly focus” on terror groups, he said. Biden also said America should end support for Saudi-led war in Yemen.

Biden says he would “reinvest” in diplomacy, which the Trump administration “hollowed out.”

In response to the subpoenas, Trump tweeted Democrats should “go back to work.”

Here are all 12 people subpoenaed by the House Judiciary Committee:

  • White House advisor and the president’s son-in-law Jared Kushner
  • Former White House chief of staff John Kelley
  • Former Attorney General Jeff Sessions
  • Former deputy attorney general Rod Rosenstein
  • Former Trump campaign manager and political commentator Corey Lewandowski
  • Former White House Deputy Chief of Staff Rick A Dearborn
  • Former White House National Security Advisor Michael Flynn
  • Chief of staff for former Attorney General Jeff Sessions Jody Hunt
  • Former White House aide accused of domestic violence Rob Porter
  • Beverly Hills attorney Keith M Davidson, who helped negotiate payments from President Trump to adult film star Stormy Daniels
  • Chief content officer for the National Enquirer’s parent company Dylan Howard
  • The CEO of the National Enquirer’s parent company David Pecker

Kushner among key Trump officials subpoenaed by Democrats

The Democrat-led House Judiciary Committee Democrats has just subpoenaed a dozen more witnesses involved in the Mueller investigation and Trump’s immigration policies.

Among the high-profile names on the list are his son-in-law and advisor Jared Kushner, former Attorney General Jeff Sessions, former Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and former Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski.

The subpoenas are part of an investigation in discussions of potential presidential pardons and the “zero tolerance” policy, which separated children from their families at the Mexico-US.

Biden releases video criticizing Trump administration's foreign policy

Ahead of a speech on foreign policy, Former Vice President and Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has released a video condemning President Trump’s “America First” diplomacy.

Biden is expected to give a speech today at the Graduate Center of City University of New York, where he plans to say he will convene world leaders to, “refocus on our common purpose, to strengthen our common resilience and to work more effectively together,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

Critics say Trump’s diplomacy has focused on courting authoritarians to the detriment of established allies. The most recent example of comes today, as Trump’s administration announced it will examine a new French tax on tech giants.

The Biden campaign has just released a video criticizing President Trump’s foreign policy.

Progressive Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren looks to be rolling out another of the policy plans she’s become known for, this one on immigration. More from the Associated Press:

Elizabeth Warren is rolling out a far-reaching immigration agenda that envisions a significant leftward shift in U.S. policy.

Warren’s plan includes the remodeling of immigration enforcement agencies “from top to bottom” and new limits on the detention of migrants who enter the country.

The new platform was released Thursday ahead of Warren’s appearance alongside four Democratic presidential rivals at a forum hosted by the League of United Latin American Citizens.

It comes as President Donald Trump’s detention policies continue to spark fierce Democratic pushback and stoke public debate.

Warren would also dent the Trump administration’s detention practices by creating “a Justice Department task force to investigate accusations of serious violations” in facilities that house migrants, giving that effort “independent authority to pursue any substantiated criminal allegations.”

Here is a livestream of Pelosi’s weekly news conference, in the event reader’s would like to listen along.

She is now responding to a Washington Post story this morning, which reported members of “the squad”, a group of four progressive House members, are feeling put out by Pelosi.

“What I said in the caucus yesterday got an overwhelming response form my members,” said Pelosi. She continued: We respect the value of every member of our caucus.... Diversity is our strength.”

Let’s return briefly to the guest list of the social media summit.

Among the invitees are some of the right’s “loudest voices – and worst trolls,” writes our reporter Julia Carrie Wong. The summit was announced in June amid persistent claims from President Trump that social media platforms are biased against conservatives.

Social media companies deny this, as many people banned from platforms have violated terms of service.

In light of the summit, the Guardian US made a wish list of guests for a social media summit, including the photographer of “Napalm girl,” whose iconic image of the Vietnam War was deleted from Facebook because it featured a naked child; survivors of mass shootings harassed online; and contemporary artists who have struggled to depict the nude human body while also attempting to draw visitors to galleries and museums.

Also, a reminder the Trump administration is trying to put political appointees in charge of approving US Environmental Protection Agency documents for release.

The White House has just clarified the press will be invited to cover the social media summit.

In Mississippi, a Republican candidate for governor denied a female reporter’s request for a ride along unless she brought a male colleague.

Now, Mississippi Today reporter Larrison Campbell responds to Republican Representative Robert Foster in real-time in an interview with CNN.

“First of all, like you said it’s your truck, it’s your rules – why is it my responsibility to make you feel comfortable?” Campbell asked. Then she followed on, and says he is effectively arguing, “A woman is a sexual object first and a reporter second.”

Foster defends himself by saying he made “a vow” to his wife never to be in a room alone with a person of the opposite sex.

On the left, the Washington Post is noting this morning how “the squad” of four progressive women in the Democratic caucus feel left out in the cold by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, the most powerful woman in politics.

Fractures within the Democratic party have left Pelosi trying to defend their House majority and protect the reelection prospects of more moderate members, Pelosi’s defenders said.

The four representatives, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar and Ayanna Pressley, are “convinced it is Pelosi who is being the bully,” according to the Post.

Here is more from the story:

Now, half a year later, virtually all communication between the two women [Pelosi and Ocasio-Cortez] has ceased. The two have not spoken one-on-one since February when Ocasio-Cortez declined Pelosi’s personal request that she join her select committee on climate change, according to individuals who know both lawmakers.

Trump has been very active on Twitter this morning. In the same tweet, he previewed the White House social media summit and possible executive action on the US census.

Here is a digest of what else he said:

  • He (again) called himself a “Stable Genius” and praised himself as “great looking”.
  • He said he would “ultimately leave office in six years, “or maybe 10 or 14,” and added he was “just kidding”.
  • He also said the “fake news media” will likely “go out of business” during this long tenure, because the industry lacks credibility.
  • He criticized a Minnesota town for scrapping the Pledge of Allegiance before meetings. There is no requirement Minnesota towns say the Pledge before a meeting, and several others already do not. Here’s a short list.

Trump’s social media summit this afternoon is not open to the press, but we have some ideas based on who is bragging online. Here’s more from our story:

The White House has released few details about Thursday’s event, but the meeting is the latest move from the Trump administration in response to its claims of bias against conservative voices on social media platforms. In May, the White House launched a tool to allow users to report if they felt they had been censored on websites such as Facebook and Twitter.

But the Trump administration did not include any representatives from major social media firms – including Facebook, Twitter, or Google – to the event Thursday, instead inviting a mix of inflammatory internet personalities including rightwing Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, pro-Trump activist Bill Mitchell, college Republican activist Charlie Kirk, and Ben Garrison, a rightwing cartoonist who agreed not to attend amid widespread criticism from one of his virulently antisemitic cartoons.

Census question, social media summit, and immigration

Good morning and welcome to the Guardian US politics liveblog. Here’s what we’re expecting this morning:

  • Executive action on the US Census: After a loss in court, President Trump is expected to announce executive action on the US census. His administration attempted to add a question about citizenship. The census is a key political battle because the government’s official count of Americans determines how many representatives each state receives.
  • White House social media summit: Rightwing social media figures have been invited to the White House for what appears to be a venting session with the President.
  • Nationwide immigration raids: The government could begin immigration raids on Sunday, a strong arm tactic against immigrants that the administration delayed earlier this summer.
