Former Vice President Joe Biden on Friday laid into President Trump's "zero tolerance" immigration policy, calling the resulting separation of thousands of migrant families "one of the darkest moments in our history."

“Grotesque lies—lies about immigrants, about crime, about costs to the community. They’re simply lies—factually inaccurate,” Biden told a crowd in Phoenix at the national convention for the Latino civil rights organization LULAC, according to NBC News.

Trump is on his heels, not even screeches of "Witch Hunt!" are getting traction.

Michael Cohen got patriotism and religion - a chat with Rev. Al Sharpton!

The intelligence community is sledge-hammering Twitter with wisdom.

Congress refuses to invite Putin to speak - from McConnell and Ryan this morning.
