Dear Attorney General Gonzales: I write to request your assistance in implementing an expanded background check system for our nation's volunteer organizations. In May 2003, Congress passed a criminal background check pilot program as many volunteer organizations were having difficulty on their own obtaining FBI fingerprint background checks for prospective volunteers. The pilot program was extended in the 109th Congress. The results from this pilot program are now in. The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children reviewed the backgrounds of 24,667 individuals and found that two percent were unfit to work with children and an additional four percent raised substantial concern. Absent this program, more than 1,400 individuals would have been in positions from which they easily could have preyed upon our nation's children. To me, these findings show very clearly that if we can work together to expand the number of volunteer organizations that have access to fast, accurate, and inexpensive fingerprint background checks, we will make significant and important strides in our ongoing effort to protect kids across our country. As a first step, I would like to convene a small meeting with key representatives from the Justice Department, the FBI, congressional offices, the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, and some of the volunteer organizations with relevant experience. Please have your appropriate point people get in touch with Dave Turk (202-224-9467) on my staff to set up this meeting.

Group Of House Democrats Urge Pelosi To Withhold Impeachment Articles
A group of House Democrats has come forward at the 11th hour to urge Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) to withhold the two articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump that Democrats plan to vote on later today day.
“The notion of impeaching Trump but holding the articles in the House has gained traction among some on the political left as a way of potentially forcing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) to conduct a trial on more favorable terms for Democrats,” The Washington Post reported. “And if no agreement is reached, some have argued, the trial could be delayed indefinitely, denying Trump an expected acquittal.”
The Post notes that the idea has even gained traction inside the party’s far-left wing and that Rep. Earl Blumenauer (D-OR) says that he has spoken with three dozen Democrats who “had expressed some level of enthusiasm for the idea of ’rounding out the record and spending the time to do this right.'”

Can someone ELI5 how this impeachment process is supposed to work; house bill goes to senate for vote at 7pm?
When's it decided and where?
>Then it moves on to Congress where they decide to convict or acquit.
By vote? 17-23?
Assuming it leaves the Senate. What are the possibilities in the Senate? A couple of Dem turncoats?

“The free world… all of Christendom… is at war with Islamic horror,” he began. “Not one penny of American treasure should be granted to any nation who harbors these heathen animals. Not a single radicalized Islamic suspect should be granted any measure of quarter.”
He went even further than President Trump, who simply wants a temporary travel ban from countries known to be hotbeds of terrorism.
“Their intended entry to the American homeland should be summarily denied.”
He concluded:
Every conceivable measure should be engaged to hunt them down. Hunt them, identify them, and kill them. Kill them all. For the sake of all that is good and righteous. Kill them all.
