Donald Trump just announced that the U.S. will not accept transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the military in any capacity. “Our military must be focused on decisive and overwhelming victory and cannot be burdened with the tremendous medical costs and disruption that transgender in the military would entail. Thank you,” the president tweeted. See for yourself. Yesterday, the GOP’s plan to replace the ACA fell far short of the votes it needed in the Senate. VP Mike Pence cast the tie-breaking vote to start debate. Senator John McCain (R-AZ), who returned to Capitol Hill less than two weeks after brain surgery, delivered an emotional speech on the floor and implored his colleagues to work in a bipartisan manner. So ... what happens next? The NYT breaks it down. The GOP is rallying behind embattled AG Jeff Sessions who, according to reports, is no longer on speaking terms with the president. But it’s another Cabinet member who could use some support. Mainly in the communications department. Energy Secretary Rick Perry optimistically discussed expanding American coal exports to Ukraine and other energy matters during a lengthy phone call this month with a Russian prankster who Perry thought was Ukraine's prime minister. True story. And, according to intelligence agencies, a North Korean missile capable of reaching the continental U.S. is likely to be developed within a year. Just in case you didn’t have enough to worry about. The Beat turned one-year-old yesterday. We celebrated accordingly. After the party it was the hotel lobby. After the Belv it was probably Cris. And after the original, it’s probably this:
- Obama Foundation names CFO.
- Michelle Obama talks about being the first Black First Lady.
- Eric Holder calls Trump’s voter commission vice chair a “fact-challenged zealot.”
- Tri-Caucus pushes DOD to diversify its ad dollars.

Michelle Obama Talks Being First Black First Lady
Michelle Obama appeared at the Women’s Foundation of Colorado’s 30th anniversary event in Denver on Tuesday where she spoke about her experience as America’s first Black first lady. She was interviewed by WFCO President and CEO Lauren Casteel at the Pepsi Center -- the same venue where she addressed thousands at the 2008 DNCC. “The shards that cut me the deepest were the ones that intended to cut,” Obama said. “Knowing that after eight years of working really hard for this country, there are still people who won’t see me for what I am because of my skin color.” FLOTUS44 referenced racist attacks she endured, including being called an ape and disparaging references made about her body. The crowd was a mix of young and old and predominantly women. She said she can’t pretend like it doesn’t hurt because that lets those who do the hurting off the hook. Although Obama largely stayed away from politics, she took a few thinly veiled shots at the current president -- receiving cheers from the crowd. She reiterated that she would not be seeking public office, much to the crowd’s verbal dismay. But she said she and Barack Obama intend to stay in public service. Read more about the conversation here.

Tri-Caucus Presses Defense Department on Advertising with Minority-Owned Outlets
Senators Bob Menéndez (D-NJ), Cory Booker (D-NJ), and Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) joined the Tri-Caucus leaders CBC Chair Congressman Cedric Richmond (D-LA), CHC Chair Congresswoman Michelle Luján Grisham (D-NM), and CAPAC Chair Congresswoman Judy Chu (D-CA) and penned a letter to Defense Secretary James Mattis to encourage the DOD to use minority-owned publications, PR firms, advertising agencies, and media companies when awarding advertising contracts. The DOD was awarded $575 million "to conduct advertising intended to increase awareness of military service and ultimately generate leads for potential recruits,” the letter says. The lawmakers mention that the DOD is responsible for a sizable portion of federal dollars, yet less than 2% of funds have gone to minority-owned businesses. They ask the DOD to commit to a strategy to address this. Read the entire letter here.

Omarosa Request Meeting with HBCU Presidents (again)
The National Association for Equal Opportunity in Higher Education (NAFEO), the umbrella organization of the nation’s Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs), is hosting a Presidential Peer Seminar and Leadership Development Institute in Amelia Island, FL in August. Omarosa will be on site and she has requested a private meeting with the presidents and chancellors of land-grant institutions. “We are writing at the behest of Honorable Omarosa Manigault,” says the invite sent from NAFEO President Lezli Baskerville and University of Eastern Shore President Thelma B. Thompson to fellow presidents and chancellors. They request their colleagues to allow 2-2.5 hours for the meeting. And yes, they refer to her as the Honorable. We have a question: who will attend this meeting from the administration who can actually institute policy? How can these presidents translate photo ops into actual policy that benefits these timeless institutions and the students they serve? HBCU presidents -- if you’re reading this -- don’t fall for the okey doke (again). If you need some talking points for a response to this invite, see CBC Chair Congressman Cedric Richmond (D-LA). Read the invite to HBCU presidents here.

Menéndez Cites McDonnell Case in Request to Dismiss Charges
Senator Bob Menéndez (D-NJ) has asked a federal judge to throw out his indictment for corruption, citing a Supreme Court ruling narrowing the definition of conduct that can lead to such prosecutions. In a court filing on Tuesday, lawyers for the senator pointed to the June 2016 Supreme Court decision that overturned the corruption conviction of former Virginia Governor Bob McDonnell. Menéndez’s attorneys argue that the McDonnell ruling changed so much the definition of “official acts” and what has to be proven for prosecutors to show a gift is actually a bribe that the senator's April 2015 indictment should be dismissed. Menéndez is accused of using his office to benefit the business interests of a longtime friend, Florida ophthalmologist Salomón Melgen, because Melgen made more than $700,000 in contributions to committees that helped Menéndez get re-elected in 2012 and gave the senator free trips on his private jet and vacations to his home in a Dominican Republic resort.

Gwen Moore Wants to Halt Export-Import Bank Nominee
Congresswoman Gwen Moore (D-WI) joined House Democratic Whip Steny Hoyer (MD) and Congressman Denny Heck (D-WA) to oppose the nomination of former Congressman Scott Garrett (R-NJ) to head the 83-year-old Export-Import Bank. The Dems argue that Garrett was a leading critic of the Ex-Im Bank while he served in Congress and tried to shut down the agency. "If confirmed as chairman of the board, Mr. Garrett would have wide latitude to control the board’s agenda and substitute his personal views for the statutory mission of the bank, destroying it from within after failing in his efforts to persuade his colleagues to legislate its demise,” the lawmakers wrote. Ex-Im supports tens of thousands of jobs while sending its profits to the Treasury, the lawmakers said. More here.

Fudge Concerned About Amazon and Whole Foods Merger
Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) and Congressman Ro Khanna (D-CA) are not the only lawmakers concerned about the proposed merger between Amazon.com and Whole Foods. Congresswoman Marcia Fudge (D-OH) and other members of the Congressional Black Caucus are concerned it will make it harder for low-income Americans to access nutritious foods. The congresswoman joined several of her colleagues to express their concerns last week in a letter to AG Jeff Sessions and Federal Trade Commission Chair Maureen Ohlhausen, whose offices are reviewing the deal. "Increasing retail food availability is a key element in changing the social conditions of low-income Americans," their letter said. "We are concerned that the proposed merger potentially may exacerbate the food divide among vulnerable populations, including the 41 million SNAP recipients, particularly those in low-income and rural communities." The United Food and Commercial Workers Union has also objected to the merger, predicting Amazon's online model and size will make competitors close stores and eventually eliminate customer choice. Amazon recently brought on five new public policy managers in its DC office. None are persons of color. More here.

Will Hurd and Other GOPers Join Dems in Condemning Border Wall
While House Democrats push against a $1.6 billion funding provision for a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border, a number of colleagues from the other side of the political aisle are joining in, echoing complaints that a border wall is impractical and ineffective and that the money could be put to better use. Congressman Will Hurd (R-TX), who has the largest area of the Mexican border of any House member, submitted an amendment that would prevent the use of funds to build any barriers along the border until the Dept. of Homeland Security submits a border security strategy and cost estimates to Congress. The other Republicans who represent districts along the U.S. southern border, Steve Pearce (R-NM) and Martha McSally (R-AZ), have criticized the proposed border wall. Congressman Brian Fitzpatrick (R-PA) has signed on to Hurd’s amendment. More here from The Hill.

Holder Calls Kris Kobach a “Fact- Challenged Zealot”
On Monday, former AG Eric Holder addressed the NAACP convention in Baltimore and had strong words for Kansas Secretary of State Kris Kobach, Trump’s choice to chair the Presidential Commission on Election Integrity. “This commission, led by a fact-challenged zealot, will come up with bogus reasons why further restrictions should be placed on the right to vote,” Holder said. “This commission is up to no good.” Both Kobach and Trump have claimed, without evidence, that widespread voter fraud occurred during the 2016 election. Trump has gone as far to claim that illegal ballots cost him the popular vote to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. “People of good faith, people grounded in facts — not alternative facts, which need to be called what they are: lies ... people of good faith really have to ask, ‘Where is the problem?’” Holder said. “We must use our best efforts to ensure that this most essential of American rights, the right to vote, is protected for this and protected for future generations.” More here.

Sessions Institutes New Policies for Sanctuary Cities
AG Jeff Sessions isn’t letting job insecurity stop him from delivering on Trump’s anti-immigrant agenda. Sessions is doubling down on policies against sanctuary cities announcing on Tuesday new rules for applying for money under a federal grant program that provides roughly $250 million in crime-finding aid to states and local governments. Cities stand to lose millions in grant money if they don't help federal agents deport suspected undocumented immigrants held in local jails. To qualify for the grants, local governments must agree to notify DHS at least 48 hours before releasing inmates from local jails when DHS has asked for advance notification about them. They also must allow DHS agents to enter local jails and interview inmates suspected of being in the country illegally. This new policy comes a day after a Massachusetts court ruled that state and local law enforcement officials don't have the authority to detain a "removable" immigrant simply because federal authorities ask them to. The new rule asks local governments to notify DHS, not detain suspects. More here.

Rapid Processing for Some H-1B Visa Applications Resumes
On Monday, the U.S. government said it would resume rapid processing of H-1B visas requested by institutions of higher education, nonprofits, and governmental research organizations while leaving in place a longer approval time for companies that use the visas. Donald Trump campaigned on a promise to crack down on immigrants, whom he said were taking jobs from U.S. citizens. Trump signed an executive order in April calling for a review of the H-1B program. The visa allows foreigners with certain skills to work temporarily in the country. The United States currently caps H-1B visas at 65,000 a year, with an additional 20,000 allowed for those who have earned advanced college degrees in the United States. The overall suspension remains in place, but the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) said on Monday that premium processing would resume for some applications from educational and research-oriented organizations exempt from the cap.

MI Judge Grants Temporary Reprieve to Iraqi Nationals
U.S. District Court Judge Mark Goldsmith in Detroit granted a 90-day injunction that would block the potential deportation of more than 1,400 Iraqi nationals living in Michigan, saying that their case involved “extraordinary circumstances” when their deportation orders were unexpectedly revived by the federal government after several years, and that many of them faced “a feverish search for legal assistance.” The Iraqi nationals had been told in June that they faced deportation. Goldsmith said the injunction would allow them more time to challenge their deportation orders in court. ACLU attorneys representing the Iraqis argue that many of them are Chaldean Catholics, Sunni Muslims, or Iraqi Kurds and face persecution in Iraq because they are considered ethnic and religious minorities. Michigan has the highest number of Iraqi nationals in the United States. More here from the Detroit Free Press.

Criminal Justice System Holds Black Men Captive for Longer Periods of Time
The Urban Institute released its report last week and used inmate data from 44 states. In 35 of the 44 states included in the study, Black men accounted for the majority of the prison population serving the longest sentences. The study also found that the average amount of time served behind bars rose by about five years from 2000 to 2014. Prior to that, the report highlights, more people were going to prison and staying there longer. Why? Because of “tough-on-crime” policies that swept the country in the 1980s and ’90s. Something AG Jeff Sessions has revived. More here.

Anti-Muslim Discrimination on the Rise
The Pew Research Center today released a new survey of Muslims that highlighted a broad sense of anxiety and unease about their place in the U.S. Forty-eight percent of those surveyed said they were subjected to at least one discriminatory incident based on religion over the past year, and 75% said there is a lot of discrimination against Muslims. Nearly three-quarters said Trump is unfriendly toward Muslims, compared with 4% who said that of Barack Obama in 2011. Two-thirds said they don’t like where the nation is headed. “Overall, Muslims in the United States perceive a lot of discrimination against their religious group, are leery of President Donald Trump and think their fellow Americans do not see Islam as part of mainstream U.S. society,” the study’s authors wrote.
