A day after his meeting with Senator Tim Scott (R-SC), Donald Trump resurrected his charge that the people who resisted neo-Nazis and white supremacists in Charlottesville were as much to blame as the alt-right crowds who marched on the Virginia college town. So, wait. You mean to tell us that Senator Scott wasn’t able to enlighten the president in one meeting and lead him to an epiphany on race relations??! Bummer. He made the comments during yesterday’s ride on Air Force One while heading to Florida to tour the Hurricane Irma damage. According to a report from the WH press pool, while serving food, Trump complained that the plastic gloves were too small for him. So take that Marco Rubio! He’s got huge hands and a big ego. Oh, and a “good brain.” Talking about Hurricane Irma, Trump told reporters before heading to FL that, "I never even knew a Category Five existed." Please respect the presidency and no one utter the word idiot. Unless, of course, you’re the actual president talking to your Attorney General Jeff Sessions. True story. Trump called Sessions an idiot. To his face. In front of a room full of people. Maybe we’ll get more insight into Trump’s brain from Anthony Scaramucci, who will guest co-host The View next Friday. Meanwhile, across the pond, an explosion on a train leaving the Parsons Green station in southwest London is being treated as a terrorist incident. There are no fatalities. But it did get our own 45 tweeting about terrorism and obsessing over Barack Obama this morning. “We have made more progress in the last nine months against ISIS than the Obama Administration has made in 8 years. Must be proactive & nasty!,” he tweeted. This was just one of seven tweets in his Category Five Twitter storm this morning. Alrighty, time to get the weekend started. We’re kicking off this beautiful Friday with this:
- Texas Dems are pressing for a Governor Joaquín Castro.

Dems Are Pressed for a Governor Joaquín Castro
Dems are urging Congressman Joaquín Castro (D-TX) to run for Governor of Texas. Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa told The Dallas Morning News that the Congressman, who turns 43 tomorrow, is considering it. "It's a very big decision for him. It would require him to leave his safe seat in the U.S. House, where he's a rising star." He’d be challenging Republican Governor Greg Abbott. Some analysts say Castro is unlikely to run for Governor because there's not a clear path to victory for Dems, who have not won a statewide race in Texas since 1994. However, Castro may be just the person to reverse the trend. We’re bound to have a decision soon. The filing period for primary election candidates closes in December. Meanwhile, twin brother and former HUD Secretary Julián Castro (who, coincidentally, also turns 43 tomorrow) is rumored to be considering a presidential run. We’ll be watching both possibilities closely. More here.

CBC Members Introduce Legislation to Help Out Minority-Owned Financial Institutions
Congressman Dwight Evans (D-PA), Gregory Meeks (D-NY), and Congresswoman Joyce Beatty (D-OH), co-chairs of the CBC’s Economic Development and Wealth Creation Task Force, introduced legislation on Wednesday which encourages federal agencies to use minority-owned banks and low-income credit unions as financial agents and depositories through the Treasury Department’s Minority Bank Deposit Program (MBDP). A recent report in the WSJ found that Black-owned financial institutions were hit hard by the 2008 recession and are still feeling the effects to such a point that Black-owned banks could altogether disappear within the next eight to twelve years. “Making access to capital and credit a reality for all small business owners and entrepreneurs should be a reality for each and every individual in our neighborhoods,” said Evans. Meeks added that “limited access to affordable financial services is a persistent problem” in minority communities, which, says Beatty, “leaves countless businesses and families in the surrounding communities with few, if any financial options to start or grow their business.” More here.

Fake PAC Scams Utah Voters with False Plea from Mia Love Campaign
Some Utahns (yep, that's what they call themselves) are getting emails from a political action committee urging them to donate to help the re-election campaign of Congresswoman Mia Love (R-UT). But there’s a problem -- it's a scam. The emails from Black America's Political Action Committee (BAMPAC) started hitting emails in Utah in late August. The messages claimed "Mia Love is in serious trouble" and "Mia's poll numbers have revealed serious trouble ahead for her re-election." Love's pollster, Quinn Monson from Y2 Analytics, said the email had no basis in the truth. More here.

Ro Khanna Intros Legislation to “Turbocharge” the Earned Income Tax Credit
On Wednesday, Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA) unveiled legislation that will give substantial tax credits to low- and middle-income Americans. His goals, Vox reports, include combating two of the most troublesome aspects of the American economy: income stagnation within the working class, and rising instability caused by a shift from secure jobs with benefits to jobs lacking them. Motivated by surging interest in Silicon Valley in using income redistribution as compensation for the costs imposed on workers by increasing automation, the congressman’s proposal could cost $1.4 trillion over 10 years. The article notes that this would turbocharge a program that has enjoyed an unusual amount of bipartisan support since it was introduced in 1975: the Earned Income Tax Credit. Senator Sherrod Brown (D-OH) will introduce similar legislation in the Senate. More here.

Murphy-led Anti-Terrorism Bill Clears the House
The House on Thursday approved bipartisan legislation introduced by Congresswoman Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) and Congressmen Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) and Dan Donovan (R-NY) that would help keep communities safe from terrorist attacks. The Joint Counterterrorism Awareness Workshop Series Act authorizes funding for workshops that train federal, state and local first responders to prevent, prepare for, and respond to a coordinated terrorist attack. “Joint Counterterrorism Awareness Workshops will help communities across the country establish effective policies and procedures to prevent, plan for, and respond to a coordinated terrorist attack,” said Murphy, a member of the House Armed Services Committee and formerly a national security specialist at the Department of Defense.

Comedy Central Extends Trevor Noah Through 2022
Comedy Central said Thursday it has agreed to a contract extension that will keep Trevor Noah as host of The Daily Show through 2022, reports The Grio. The network also said Noah would produce and host specials comedically wrapping up each year. The show has averaged 1.57 million viewers so far this quarter, up 28% from the same period a year ago, according to the Nielsen company. Noah is the most popular late-night comic among viewers aged 18-to-34, and he’s a hit particularly among people who stream highlights online. Video clips of Noah have been streamed some 2.2 billion times since he took over, the network said. That’s increasingly the way younger viewers experience late-night comedy. Noah quipped that it’s exciting to know he’s under contract for five more years, “or until Kim Jong Un annihilates us all, whichever one comes first.” More here.

ESPN Tried to Sideline Jemele Hill
Apparently, after Jemele Hill’s tweet controversy, ESPN wanted to sideline the reporter for Wednesday evening’s broadcast. But her colleagues said nah. Her co-host Michael Smith refused to do the show without her, according to ThinkProgress. Sources said that producers reached out to two other Black ESPN hosts, Michael Eaves and Elle Duncan, to ask them to serve as fill-ins for the show. But neither Eaves or Duncan would agree to take the place of Hill or Smith, either. Faced with the possibility of having to replace Hill and Smith with white co-hosts, sources said, ESPN then called Hill and asked her to come back on her show. ESPN, however, refutes this account. “We never asked any other anchors to do last night’s show. Period,” ESPN spokesman Josh Krulewitz emailed ThinkProgress after this story was published. This morning, Donald Trump began attacking the network tweeting, “ESPN is paying a really big price for its politics (and bad programming). People are dumping it in RECORD numbers. Apologize for untruth!” More here.

Menéndez Support Slips, Poll Shows
According to a new Quinnipiac University poll released Thursday, 50% of respondents oppose the re-election of Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ). Only 20% say otherwise and 30% were undecided. If Menéndez, who is currently on trial for bribery, were to be removed from the Senate, Republican Governor Chris Christie would be able to appoint the successor. He could even name himself to the Senate -- a move that has even less support with only 3% of New Jersey residents okaying this move. The survey was conducted as the corruption trial began for Menéndez, which certainly poisoned the landscape, Quinnipiac University Polls acknowledges. Some describe the trial as a witch hunt. Moreover, had participants been told that Christie would get to name Menéndez’s successor, perhaps more respondents would support the Senator’s re-election. More here from The Hill.

Kwame Kilpatrick Asks Judge to Throw Out Restitution Tab
Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick is asking a federal judge to reconsider, and maybe even erase, his $1.5-million restitution tab, claiming he cost the city of Detroit no financial losses and therefore shouldn't have to pay anything. He asked U.S. District Judge Nancy Edmunds, who sentenced Kilpatrick to 28 years for corruption in 2013, to reconsider letting him travel back to Detroit from Oklahoma where he is serving his sentence to contest his restitution bill at a hearing. And if she doesn't let him come back, Kilpatrick asked Edmunds to "order that no restitution amount can be ordered." At issue is a water and sewer contract that prosecutors claim Kilpatrick manipulated so that it would go to his friend Bobby Ferguson. But Kilpatrick’s attorney says there was no bid-rigging and that the contract award process at issue used a procedure that was "routinely followed." But the jury didn't buy that. Kilpatrick, 47, was convicted on 24 counts for crimes including racketeering, bribery, extortion, and fraud. So far, he has lost all of his appeals. More here.

Congressional Gold Medal Honor for Filipino World War II Veterans Set for October 25
Yesterday, Senator Mazie Hirono (D-HI) and Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) announced that Congress will finally honor Filipino World War II veterans with its highest civilian honor, the Congressional Gold Medal, at a ceremony in the U.S. Capitol on October 25th. The ceremony is a result of Hirono and Gabbard’s bill to honor the over 260,000 Filipino and Filipino American soldiers who fought on behalf of the U.S. in WWII. “The presentation of the Congressional Gold Medal to our Filipino World War II veterans is the culmination of decades of work to honor these veterans for their service to our country,” said Hirono. “These veterans and their families overcame many challenges in their fight for compensation, family reunification, and verification of wartime service.” Gabbard continued, “Their sacrifices were left untold in the United States for decades ... I am proud that we can correct the record today, and finally honor the service and sacrifice of these heroes and their families, and ensure they are never forgotten.” The ceremony will be livestreamed on speaker.gov/live. Filipino World War II veterans and their families who are interested in participating in the ceremony and receiving a bronze replica medal should register through the Filipino Veterans Recognition and Education Project at www.filvetrep.org/registry.

Cortez Masto and Burr Want to Fund Innovative Transportation Systems
Senators Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) and Richard Burr (R-NC) introduced legislation that will enhance the transportation systems of American communities through the use of innovative technology. They say the Moving and Fostering Innovation to Revolutionize Smarter Transportation, or the Moving FIRST Act, will fund efficient, creative and innovative transportation projects. The bill would set aside funding from the Transportation Department for communities of varying sizes. They say it will make applicants eligible for additional federal funding opportunities to advance their innovative projects, whether it’s Wi-Fi access or eased transportation to the nearest healthcare center. “Updating inefficient transportation systems by applying new technology will help our communities become better connected and improve our way of life,” said Cortez Masto.

Bass, Green Intro Resolution to Prevent POTUS Self and Family Pardons
Yesterday, Congresswoman Karen Bass (D-CA) and Congressman Al Green (D-TX) introduced a resolution along with more than 40 of their colleagues calling for a limit on the President’s ability to pardon or grant a reprieve to him or herself or members of his or her family for an offense against the United States. “Due to the current President’s proven willingness to slander the truth and exploit legal ambiguity for personal gain, we must explicitly forbid the possibility of a pardon for himself or his family,” Bass said. “Throughout this presidency, I’ve heard from thousands of constituents concerned about pardon power. The recent pardon of Joe Arpaio only amplified those concerns. Millions of Americans face the consequences of their own unlawful actions, and they repay their debt to society. If any president of any party or their family commits federal crimes, benign or extreme, they too must suffer the consequences of their actions. I call on my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to uphold our civic duty to protect our justice system.” More here.

U.S. Limits Visas for African, Asian Nations
The AP reports that the United States will stop issuing certain visas to Eritrean nationals and officials of Cambodia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea as of Wednesday because they have refused to take back deported citizens, the State Department said Tuesday. Under federal law, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson can stop all or specific types of visas from being issued to such nations. It is not clear why only Cambodia, Eritrea and Guinea were selected for the sanctions or why Sierra Leone, which was last identified as "at risk" for recalcitrance, was included. Other countries listed as being recalcitrant in accepting deportees from the U.S. include China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Iran, Burma, Morocco, and South Sudan. More here.

Mexicans' View of U.S. Declines
According to the Pew Research Center, roughly 65% of Mexicans view the U.S. unfavorably, an all-time low for the country. Mexicans who live within 200 miles of the U.S. border and those who report having visited the United States have more favorable views of the U.S. than those who live farther away and those who haven’t visited. Despite their increasingly negative views of the U.S., Mexicans still believe life is better for those who move across the U.S. border. Similarly, the number of Mexicans interested in living in the United States has remained relatively stable for many years, despite the fact that between 2009 and 2014, more Mexicans left than came to the U.S. Tell us the point of that billion dollar border wall again?

Miami Mayor Hits Admin on Climate Change
In an interview with CNN on Wednesday, Miami Mayor Tomás Regalado (R) hit back at Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Scott Pruitt for saying that it was inappropriate to discuss climate change just as the U.S. was in the crosshairs of Hurricane Irma. "It is insensitive on his part, because I wish that he would have been here when people ran from high rises, because of the storm surge," Regalado said. "I wish that he would have been here when we were told that we were facing apocalyptic moments with a Cat 5 hurricane." This isn't the first time Regalado hit the admin on climate change; he spoke with the Miami Herald in the days before Irma saying, “This is the time to talk about climate change. This is the time that the president and the E.P.A. and whoever makes decisions needs to talk about climate change ... If this isn’t climate change, I don’t know what is. This is a truly, truly poster child for what is to come.” More here.
