A Republican congressman has received approval to set up an “Anti-Socialism Caucus” in the House of Representatives, which he said would highlight the “dark history” of the political ideology.
“Just received approval from the House for the formation of the Anti-Socialism Caucus. This caucus will defend individual liberty & free markets and highlight the dark history of socialism,” Rep. Chris Stewart (R-UT) tweeted Thursday.
Stewart originally created the caucus in February, but it was only green-lit on Wednesday. In the initial press release, Stewart spoke of the “dangers of socialism,” saying that, “wherever it rears its head, it leaves a wake of destruction in lives and freedoms lost.”
“So much time has passed from the fall of the Iron Curtain that many have internalized — or never experienced — socialism’s ultimate price,” Stewart said. “If we fail to recall those dangerous times, the primitive appeal of socialism will advance and infect our institutions.”

Kris Kobach Wants 'Processing Towns' For Asylum-Seeking Families

In what sounded a bit like an Alex Jones fever dream, former Kansas Secretary of State and potential Trump administration appointee Kris Kobach suggested Wednesday that the government create “processing town” detention centers for asylum-seekers along the southern border.
Instead of selling “the thousands of empty mobile home trailers that the United States owns right now,” Kobach told Fox Business Network’s Lou Dobbs in an interview, “deploy them to border cities and create processing towns that are confined.”
“And so when someone comes in and falsely claims asylum, we don’t release them for six months onto the streets of the United States, we process them right there in that camp, where they have the three square meals, they’re living in a nice mobile home,” Kobach said. “And then as soon as they’re done, as soon as the claim is rejected, they’re on the next plane back home.”
Kobach also urged the Department of Homeland Security to publish the final version of a proposed change to the so-called Flores settlement, spelling out, in Kobach’s words, “how we can detain entire families together.”

May to meet UK opposition leader for Brexit compromise talks
Source: Associated Press
By DANICA KIRKA and JILL LAWLESS an hour ago
LONDON (AP) — Prime Minister Theresa May and the leader of Britain’s main opposition party were due to meet Wednesday for talks on ending the impasse over the country’s departure from the European Union — a surprise about-face that left pro-Brexit members of May’s Conservative Party howling with outrage.
Brexit Secretary Stephen Barclay said the government was not setting preconditions for the talks with Labour Party leader Jeremy Corbyn, but was also not offering a “blank check.”
“There will need to be compromise on all sides,” he said.
After failing repeatedly to win Parliament’s backing for her Brexit blueprint, May dramatically changed gear Tuesday, saying she would seek to delay Brexit — again — and hold talks with the opposition to seek a compromise.

Dammed to Fail
An Observer investigation finds that unregulated dams across Texas are increasingly failing — putting people and property in jeopardy.

Maria Campos wasn’t going to wait till the dam behind her house burst and washed away her home and her family. It was August 26, 2017, a Saturday, and Hurricane Harvey had parked itself over southeast Texas, unleashing biblical amounts of rain. Ivanhoe, where Campos lives, is a tiny town of 1,800 people 100 miles northeast of Houston, and it saw 27 inches in just five days. About 200 feet from Campos’ backyard, Lake Ivanhoe began rapidly filling behind its earthen dam. The front yard had already flooded, washing away her carefully arranged potted plants.
“The water is coming up, up and up,” she recalled. “My husband say, ‘This is serious, because the lake is already full.’ You can see the little fish in my yard. It was like a river.”
Though Lake Ivanhoe dam isn’t huge — about 19 feet tall and 590 feet long — it holds back about 34 million gallons, or enough to fill 50 Olympic-size swimming pools. Not willing to take the chance that the dam would burst and flood her home, Campos and her husband piled their teenage daughter, Karen, and dog, Spicy, into their gray Kia Sportage and settled in with a neighbor on higher ground down the street.
The Camposes weren’t the only ones in trouble. By August 28, three days after Harvey made landfall, lake levels at 14 dams in the Ivanhoe area were rising dramatically. Within Ivanhoe city limits, all five lakes were full and water was rushing over the top of four dams, putting enormous stress on the earthen embankments. If the dams failed, 400 million gallons of water would be unleashed on the town and downstream areas. And because many of the area’s roads run across the embankments, rescuing people stranded in their homes would suddenly become much more difficult.

'What's next, Instagram DMs?': AOC slams Trump team security breaches

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out the Trump administration for its rampant failure to keep official government communications safe and secure.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) blasted the Trump administration's repeated failures to follow protocols that protect national security, which she pointed out could put "thousands of lives at risk."
"We're getting reports that there's communication happening with Saudi officials via WhatsApp," Ocasio-Cortez told CNN reporter Manu Raju on Tuesday. "What's next, Instagram DMs? This is completely insecure."
The congresswoman added that "anything can get hacked" if Trump administration officials use "insecure channels of communication."
"If we don't know what hostile forces know about us, we are putting thousands of lives at risk," Ocasio-Cortez said.

U.S. disaster aid won't cover crops drowned by Midwest floods

MALVERN, Iowa (Reuters) - The Black Hawk military helicopter flew over Iowa, giving a senior U.S. agriculture official and U.S. senator an eyeful of the flood damage below, where yellow corn from ruptured metal silos spilled out into the muddy water.
And there’s nothing the U.S. government can do about the millions of bushels of damaged crops here under current laws or disaster-aid programs, U.S. Agriculture Under Secretary Bill Northey told a Reuters reporter who joined the flight.
The USDA has no mechanism to compensate farmers for damaged crops in storage, Northey said, a problem never before seen on this scale. That’s in part because U.S. farmers have never stored so much of their harvests, after years of oversupplied markets, low prices and the latest blow of lost sales from the U.S. trade war with China - previously their biggest buyer of soybean exports.
The USDA last year made $12 billion in aid available to farmers who suffered trade-war losses, without needing Congressional approval. The agency has separate programs that partially cover losses from cattle killed in natural disasters, compensate farmers who cannot plant crops due to weather, and help them remove debris left in fields after floods.
