    New Emails Show Push by Trump Officials to Add Citizenship Question to Census

    Government emails disclosed in a federal lawsuit show that within months of taking office, the Trump administration began discussing the need to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, contradicting initial accounts of how officials made the controversial decision.

    In May 2017, the emails show, President Trump’s chief strategist at the time, Steve Bannon, requested that Commerce Secretary Wilbur L. Ross ā€œtalk to someone about the census.ā€ A month later, Mr. Ross began demanding that the question be added, and a top aide pledged to press Justice Department officials to say they needed better citizenship data for law enforcement.

      = Playing to Trump’s donors, the for-profit prison system and their supply chains. To be clear: Mothers were declared “unfit” just for bringing their children to the border for any reason. Children who are held here for such trumped-up reasons will one day be 18 years old and if not adopted or used as slaves - they’ll still be expendable ‘aliens’.

      The wedding dress of Jacqueline Bouvier was worn by Jacqueline Bouvier in her wedding to John F. Kennedy on September 12, 1953. The dress is one of the best-remembered bridal gowns of all time.[1]

      The gown was the creation of African-American fashion designer Ann Lowe, [2] who never received credit for it during her lifetime. Instead, when asked who made her dress, Jacqueline Kennedy said it was a “colored woman.”[3]

      The dress is now on display at the Kennedy Library in Boston, Massachusetts.
