If "lock her up" was the definitive chant at Donald Trump's rallies in the 2016 campaign, the 2020 race might have a new -- and ugly -- counterpart. The crowd last night at the President's campaign rally in North Carolina repeatedly shouted, "Send her back!" after Trump mentioned US Rep. Ilhan Omar. The President spent a big chunk of the rally going after Omar and the three other congresswomen of color known as "the squad." They've blasted the Trump administration over its handling of migrants in detention centers on the US-Mexico border. Trump said if they don't like the policies, they can leave the country. And when the chant started, he made no effort to stop it

Meanwhile, back in Washington, the House shot down an effort to impeach Trump. The vote illustrated the divide in the Democratic caucus over the issue, with 137 Dems joining all Republicans in defeating the measure. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has resisted impeaching the President, fearing a political backlash that could cost the Democrats their House majority next year. The House also voted to hold Attorney General William Barr and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross in criminal contempt in a subpoena dispute related to the administration's attempt to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census.

protests continued through the nighteven some celebs mentioned in the chats Demonstrators overturned barricades and police fired tear gas as protests continued through the night in San Juan against Gov. Ricardo Rosselló. Protests started days ago after nearly 900 pages of leaked chats from the governor's private group chat were published. The messages between the governor and his inner circle revealed a seemingly vengeful approach to running the US territory. Protesters and even some celebs mentioned in the chats say Rosselló is abusive and corrupt and want him to resign immediately. But Rosselló says he won't step down. Similar protests against him have unfolded in New York, Miami and Orlando.

expected to be fireda watchdog group published screenshots As many as 13 Philadelphia police officers are expected to be fired after an investigation into racist or offensive social media posts by cops. The officers will be suspended with intent to dismiss, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer. The police department launched an investigation last month, after a watchdog group published screenshots of offensive comments made on Facebook by law enforcement officers across the nation. Police departments in Dallas, St. Louis and Lake County, Florida, also launched investigations into claims their officers posted hateful or racist remarks. It's not clear at this point which Philadelphia officers might be fired or what they may have posted.

has been dropped A criminal charge against actor Kevin Spacey has been dropped . Prosecutors in Massachusetts made the decision after the man who accused Spacey of assault pleaded the Fifth on the witness stand. Spacey, a two-time Oscar winner, faced a charge of indecent assault and battery for allegedly groping a young man in 2016 at a bar. Spacey's career collapsed almost two years ago -- during the beginnings of the #MeToo movement -- after several allegations of sexual assault and harassment.
