GLOBAL DIPLOMACY TRUMPED… At the start of the military alliance’s annual summit meeting today in Brussels, Donald Trump called allies “delinquent” for failing to spend enough on their own defense, and he said Germany was a “captive” of Russia because of its energy dealings. SLOW YOUR ROLL… Trump’s criticism of NATO drew a rebuke on Tuesday from Donald Tusk, the President of the European Council. “Appreciate your allies,” Tusk said. “After all, you don’t have that many.” HE’S NOT WITH US… Meanwhile, the Senate overwhelmingly voted in favor of a motion supporting NATO. BORDER CROSSING INTO MEXICO… Mexico’s leftist President-elect Andrés Manuel López Obrador will meet on Friday with Trump's son-in-law and advisor, Jared Kushner, Secretary of State Michael Pompeo, Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen at AMLO’s campaign headquarters in Mexico. ANKLE BRACELETS… The Trump administration is planning to release some migrant families equipped with ankle monitors after several court orders restricted the government's ability to hold thousands of migrant families detained at the southern U.S. border. KAVA-NAH… The president’s Supreme Court pick, Brett Kavanaugh, is already facing hurdles from both sides of the aisle, with a vote on his confirmation nearly two months away. FOX GETS A HOUND… Conservative media conglomerate Sinclair Broadcast Group is planning to launch a streaming TV service this year that will likely rival Fox News. The free streaming app, called STIRR, would house a 24/7 TV channel featuring local news and national programming, as well as a variety of other live and on-demand programming, from TV shows to movies to sports. HOPE NEVER DIES… The 300-page novel that feeds into the fanfare surrounding the relationship between former President Barack Obama and VP Joe Biden drops today. Focused on a murder mystery, POTUS and VPOTUS are a crime-fighting duo in this bromantic parody. More important Obama news below. GROW UP NICKI… That’s essentially what a freelance writer suggested to Nicki Minaj, and then she was overwhelmed with thousands of attacks across social media from the rapper’s super fans. BEEZ IN A TRAP… Imagine if this same group of superfans redirected that passion and outrage toward politics and policy that directly impacts them. Dope right?! The Beat DC is working on it.

Tammy Duckworth Intros Bill to Help Women Entrepreneurs
Senators Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) and Heidi Heitkamp (D-ND), both members of the Senate Committee on Small Business & Entrepreneurship, introduced legislation Monday to reauthorize the Interagency Committee for Women’s Business Enterprise -- a federal agency that helps coordinate federal resources and grow women-owned businesses. The Interagency Committee was maintained through both Democratic and Republican administrations, but it has been inactive since 2000 with no chairperson to operate it. Duckworth and Heitkamp’s bill would amend Title IV of the Women’s Business Ownership Act to reauthorize the Interagency Committee by making sure a Chairperson is at the helm to operate the Committee. There are currently an estimated 11.6 million women-owned businesses operating in the country, a number that has grown by 45% between 2007 and 2016. “We should be doing everything we can to help women-owned businesses grow and create jobs in their communities,” Duckworth said. “I am proud to join Sen. Heitkamp in introducing this legislation, which will help level the playing field for female entrepreneurs and business owners by making sure they have access to resources across Federal agencies while making sure the Federal Government shares and implements best practices when working with women-owned businesses so they can expand and further contribute to our economy.” More here.

Bob Menéndez and Catherine Cortez Masto Want Answers from CFPB Nominee About Puerto Rico Response
Senators Bob Menéndez (D-NJ) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV) want Kathy Kraninger, Donald Trump's pick to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), to provide "a full accounting" of her role in the administration's response to Hurricane Maria and its aftermath in Puerto Rico. Kraninger is currently the Associate Director for General Government at the Office of Management and Budget, where she oversees policy implementation and providing management guidance to several departments, and her duties included carrying out the administration’s agenda in Puerto Rico last year. In their letter, the Senators requested a list of all meetings she was involved with concerning “disaster supplemental appropriation requests to Congress”; emails and documents on communication with DHS, Treasury, and HUD officials related to supplemental appropriation requests; as well as documentation of her communication with Puerto Rican government officials, employees, and consultants surrounding the response to Hurricane Maria. Read the letter here.

Pete Aguilar Aims to PREVENT Domestic Terror
Congressman Pete Aguilar (D-CA) recently introduced a bill to help local law enforcement agencies identify, prevent and respond to potential domestic terror incidents. The Preventing Radical Extremists’ Violent Endeavors Now and Tomorrow (PREVENT) Act would require the Department of Homeland Security to provide experts in law enforcement, psychology, and social work to state and local governments for the purpose of mitigating the threats of domestic terror and homegrown violent extremism. “Our community knows all too well the devastation that an act of domestic terror can cause,” said Aguilar. “After the attack on the Inland Regional Center, it became clear that we need to codify the relationship between our local law enforcement agencies and their federal counterparts. I’m proud to introduce this bill to help ensure that the resources of the United States Government are effectively distributed to prevent another unspeakable tragedy like the one we suffered in San Bernardino.” More here.

Rubén Gallego Wants DHS to Investigate if Migrant Children Were Improperly Held
Congressman Rubén Gallego (D-AZ)on Monday wrote to the Department of Homeland Security’s Acting Inspector General John Kelly, requesting an immediate investigation into reports that minor children detained at the U.S.-Mexico border were inappropriately held in an office building in Phoenix. Reportedly, the building was not licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services to provide child care -- a possible violation of Arizona state law. “While the company has acknowledged using the office space in question to temporarily hold migrant children prior to being transported to long-term shelters, the site was not licensed by the Arizona Department of Health Services to provide child care -a possible violation of Arizona state law. In addition, the building apparently has darkened windows, limited toilets and no bedrooms, showers or outdoor play areas,” Gallego wrote. “These deficiencies call into question both MVM's ability to competently care for migrant children as well ICE 's oversight of the contractors that transport these vulnerable youth on the agency's behalf.” Gallego also sent a letter to Kevin Márquez, CEO of MVM, Inc., the company that leased the building in question, requesting additional information about the nature of the accommodations, how long the children were held, and whether the company has future plans to house children in this building or at similar locations in the Phoenix area. See the letter to the DHS Inspector General here.

Jimmy Gómez and Judy Chu Want Wilbur Ross to Explain 2020 Census Contradictions
Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross is facing questions from Congressman Jimmy Gómez (D-CA) and Congresswomen Judy Chu (D-CA) and Carolyn Maloney (D-NY). The trio led 53 of their colleagues in a letter to Ross requesting that he explain the contradictory and misleading statements he and other Trump administration officials made regarding the decision to add a question on citizenship status to the 2020 Census. Ross has told Congress multiple times that the Commerce Department considered adding a citizenship question after the Department of Justice requested it, on the grounds that it would supposedly help DOJ better enforce the Voting Rights Act. But in a June 21st memo filed as part of a lawsuit challenging the decision, Ross revealed for the first time that he was considering adding the question and had discussed it with senior administration officials before the DOJ request. He also disclosed that he’d initially approached the department about adding the question. The letter asks Ross to address the “glaring contradictions between Administration testimonies and recently released internal communications...for the purpose of clarifying the origination, intention, and justification of adding a citizenship question to the census.” See the letter here.

Doug Jones Intros Bill to Solve Civil Rights Cases
Senator Doug Jones (D-AL)introduced legislation on Tuesday mandating the review, declassification, and release of government records related to unsolved criminal civil rights cases. The legislation is necessary because the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), as implemented, has prevented the timely and adequate disclosure of executive branch records, and congressional records are not subject to public disclosure under FOIA. In addition, some of these records, although almost 50 years old, remain classified unnecessarily or shielded from public view. Jones says the Civil Rights Cold Case Records Collection Act remedies this problem by requiring the National Archives and Records Administration to create a collection of government documents related to civil rights cold cases and to make those documents available to the public. Senators Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Kamala Harris (D-CA) have signed on as co-sponsors. When the Emmett Till Unsolved Civil Rights Crimes Reauthorization Act was signed in 2016, an expansion of a law passed in 2007, the Southern Poverty Law Center sent to the FBI and DOJ a list of 74 cold cases of Black people allegedly killed by white people between 1952 and 1968. The murders were described as “violent circumstances that may have been racially motivated.” Most of the homicides occurred in Mississippi, where 32 people were killed. Others were in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee. More on Jones’ bill here.

Barack Obama and Eric Holder Drop New Video
Former President Barack Obama is out with a new video this morning released by Eric Holder’s National Democratic Redistricting Committee where he highlights the damaging effects of partisan and racial gerrymandering and calls on Americans to get engaged in the 2018 midterm elections. “Republican-controlled legislatures all across the country locked in structural advantages that would eventually determine every future election,” Obama says. “Of course that’s good for special interest who want to protect tax breaks for the most powerful, or the gun lobby, or environmental polluters. But it’s not good for our children. And regardless of our party affiliations, it’s not good for our democracy.” POTUS44 will soon hit the road to help elect candidates who support fair redistricting. The NDRC is convening allies on the ground and orchestrating digital get-out-the-vote efforts through voter contact and turnout. It will also be redirecting some of its own funding into existing organizations in the states. The focus will be on districts with large populations of college-educated voters and people of color who feel the current system is working against them, with an emphasis on districts that overlap with key House races. Obama warns that the next 10 years will play out the way the years since 2010 have if voters don’t engage. He will make state legislature candidates a focus of his endorsements and campaigning, starting in the fall. Meanwhile, Holder will appear today at an event in Florida for the Democratic Legislative Campaign Committee, which is focused on state legislature races, and he’ll be in Ohio at the end of July, with a schedule that will continue to pick up as the elections get closer. “I've always believed that hard-fought victories that move our country forward ALWAYS require ordinary people doing extraordinary work. We have to continue fighting for fair maps and fair representation. I'm all in. President Obama is all in. Are you?,” Holder asked when he shared Obama’s video on Twitter. See the video here.

Campaigns Falling Short on Outreach to Latinos
A new report released Monday by UnidosUS and the California Civic Engagement Project at the University of Southern California found that competitive midterm campaigns are in need of more intense outreach to Latinos. The report, which focused on 25 competitive House districts where Latino voters could make a sizable difference this fall, underscored the need for campaigns and political parties to invest in outreach now as the Latino voting population surges. It also looked at demographic shifts that forecast the Latino population will grow more than 50% in the next two decades to 87.5 million -- representing nearly a quarter of all Americans. “Many pundits and political operators continue to rely on a shallow understanding of the Latino electorate, and either act surprised when Latinos determine the outcome of an election, or ignore factors like lack of outreach and investment when these voters do not turn out. By continuing to misunderstand or undervalue this electorate, those who manage and advise political campaigns miss opportunities to register, engage, and persuade eligible Latino citizens to vote,” the report says. “Careful, strategic efforts to encourage Latino voter turnout could literally change the outcome of many political races at the local, state, and national levels. Indeed, unless corrected, the current underinvestment in the Latino electorate may well amount to a critical—and possibly unprecedented—lost opportunity.” The report also says that engagement strategies must include helping eligible immigrants become citizens, helping citizens register to vote, and continuing to invest in the meaningful engagement of registered voters to increase their turnout at the polls.

NFL Players Association Files Grievance Against the League
The NFL Players Association announced Tuesday that it has filed a grievance against the league "on behalf of all players" for unilaterally changing the NFL’s policy on the national anthem. "The union's claim is that this new policy, imposed by the NFL's governing body without consultation with the NFLPA, is inconsistent with the collective bargaining agreement and infringes on player rights," the group explained in a statement. At a meeting in late May, the 32 NFL owners voted to overhaul their protocol for what players must do during the anthem. In the past, players were required to be on the sideline during the anthem, but they were not required to stand. Most prominent among the kneeling players -- who are not protesting the flag or the anthem but trying to raise awareness to inequalities in the justice system -- is Colin Kaepernick, who has filed his own grievance accusing the NFL of colluding to keep him out of the league. The union said it offered to begin confidential discussions with the league before proceeding to potentially contentious and time-consuming litigation. The league agreed. If talks fail, the union will begin discovery and ultimately can present its case to an independent arbitrator. More here.

PBS Taps Former NEA Chief
PBS has appointed Jane Chu, the former chairman of the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA), as an arts advisor. In her new role, Chu will work to expand access to and representation within the network’s arts programming while developing collaborations between PBS, funders, and local arts organizations around the country. Appointed to lead the NEA by former President Barack Obama, she spent four years at the agency before leaving in June. During her time, Chu guided the federal arts agency through one of the most challenging periods in its 50-year history when the Trump administration called for its elimination. Thanks to bipartisan support, the NEA’s future was secured in March when the Senate approved a budget that not only preserved the agency but increased its funding. Prior to the NEA, Chu worked at the Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts in Kansas City, Missouri. The daughter of Chinese immigrants was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma and spent most of her childhood in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. She wrote and illustrated a 2002 children's book about growing up Asian American, Joy's Discovery. The Ouachita Baptist University graduate earned an associate's degree in visual art at Nebraska Wesleyan University. She earned a Master's in music from Southern Methodist University in Dallas, a Master's in business administration from Rockhurst University in Kansas City, and a Doctorate in philanthropic studies from Indiana University.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Sigue Ganando
NY congressional candidate and Democratic breakout star Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has won another primary -- this time, in New York’s 15th Congressional District. The Reform Party held a write-in primary and invited unaffiliated voters to submit their preferred candidates, and on Tuesday, the city Board of Elections certified Ocasio-Cortez’s write-in victory. Of the 22 people who received write-in votes, Ocasio-Cortez got the most with nine, beating incumbent Congressman José Serrano (D). “Shockingly — and I’m told this is not a joke — we have ALSO won a primary in the neighboring 15th Congressional District via write-in campaign on the Reform line!,” she tweeted. “While I am honored that so many Bronxites are excited about our campaign, I will remain the Dem nominee for NY-14.” Ocasio-Cortez, who shocked the establishment when she beat incumbent Congressman Joe Crowley in June’s Democratic primary, will face Republican Anthony Pappas in the November midterm election.

Brooklyn City Councilman Could Be New York’s Next Political Upset
Brooklyn City Councilman Jumaane Williams’ chances of claiming the victory in his bid for Lt. Governor of New York are looking more possible. The 42-year-old Democrat is the son of Grenada immigrants and has served on the City Council since 2010. He has an advantage over his opponent, incumbent Lt. Gov. Kathy Hochul; Williams is well known in Brooklyn, which has more than double the population of Hochul’s native Erie County. “I am ecstatic that this is how the pendulum has swung,” said Williams, a former delegate for Bernie Sanders, who has been backed by several of the liberal activist groups that supported newcomer Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. “The politics of old has taken us to where we are. I’ve helped create these political winds and I’m very excited.” An expected win by Governor Chris Cuomo over Democratic primary challenger Cynthia Nixon, coupled with a Williams upset could potentially create strange bedfellows in the November general election. The New York Post describes it as the political equivalent of a shotgun marriage. Cuomo is the face of the Democratic Party establishment while Williams is an insurgent and frequent critic of the governor. Williams was arrested Monday evening while protesting Donald Trump’s Supreme Court nominee pick at Trump Tower. This is not his first arrest. Williams was also arrested alongside his mother while protesting POTUS45’s inauguration. The 2001 Brooklyn College graduate stayed at the school to earn his Master's in 2005. More about Williams here.
