And here's what else you need to know to Get Up to Speed and Out the Door. By Doug Criss Politics   The House of Representatives plans to vote on a resolution condemning President Trump's racist tweets about four Democratic congresswomen of color. It's not clear when the vote will take place, but House Speaker Nancy Pelosi urged GOP lawmakers to join Democrats in "condemning the President's xenophobic tweets." A few Republicans emerged yesterday to condemn Trump's tweets, but others stayed silent. And a few, like US Sen. Lindsey Graham, backed the President, with Graham saying the "squad" -- as US Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib have come to be called -- are just a bunch of communists who hate America. Trump doubled down on his extreme rhetoric, saying his tweets weren't racist and that he's unbothered by statements of support from white nationalists, who say they hear common cause in the President's words. The congresswomen responded in a news conference, urging Americans not to be baited or distracted by Trump's taunts.   Julian Assange   WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange turned the Ecuadorian Embassy in London into a command center and coordinated a series of damaging disclosures that rocked the 2016 US presidential campaign. The evidence for this comes in new documents obtained exclusively by CNN. Surveillance reports describe how Assange -- now serving a one-year prison term in London -- received potentially hacked materials related to the election via in-person deliveries. The documents build on the possibility, raised by special counsel Robert Mueller in his report on Russian meddling, that couriers brought hacked files to Assange at the embassy.   Puerto Rico   Pressure is building on Puerto Rico Gov. Ricardo Rosselló to step down after remarks he made in a private group chat were made public. Puerto Ricans demonstrated against Rosselló over the weekend, and police gassed some protesters last night in San Juan. The messages between the governor and his inner circle reveal a seemingly vengeful approach to running the US territory, including attacking journalists by discrediting stories and threatening to turn over political opponents to police. The Center for Investigative Journalism published almost 900 pages from the private group chat.   Sadie Roberts-Joseph   Why would anyone want to hurt Sadie Roberts-Joseph? The 75-year-old community leader and activist in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, was found dead last week in the trunk of her car. The death is being investigated as a homicide, Baton Rouge Police Chief Murphy Paul said. Roberts-Joseph was suffocated, an autopsy found. She was the founder of an African-American museum in the city and a nonprofit focused on creating a safer environment for children. "She's a jewel in this community," said Paul, who promised an arrest in the case.   Teens and screens   Do your teenagers spend a lot of time on social media? Are they glued to TV a lot, too? It might be a good idea to have them unplug for a while. A new study suggests a link between heavy amounts of screen time and depression. The study, published yesterday in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, says that for every additional hour young people spend on social media or watching TV, the severity of depressive symptoms goes up within that same year. "To our knowledge, the present study is the first to present a developmental analysis of variations in depression and various types of screen time," researchers wrote.   Content By: CNN Underscored Amazon Prime Day ends tonight.
