I recommend everyone prepare for a significant recession. Gwinnett County Ga has 5000 less students enrolled this year as a result of immigration policies. They laid off 125 teachers. That will affect consumer purchasing and result in store lay offs.

If Congress holds the purse strings how is the president hiring additional ice agents, invading cities with federal troops, giving money to Argentina and building detention centers

The senate added the provision to the C R that senators whose phone records were obtained (by court order) by Jack Smith can sue the government. NSA records lots of phone calls can the public sue the government?

Trump has now ordered the U S Navy to sink a third vessel in the Caribbean. Shouldn’t this action fall under the war powers act and require him to report to Congress within 48 hours?

I’m concerned. I don’t believe Trump is the least bothered by a ship leaving Venezuela with drugs. Could he be starting a war to justify use of the Enemy Aliens Act

With ICE agents covering their faces I have to wonder are they really law enforcement or contractors working for mercenary companies like blackwater. Show us a badge

If Trump sends National Guard troops in to any area he has to do that under title 10 which makes them federal troops. Why is this not a violation of Posses Comitatus Act

I can’t understand SCOTUS ruling allowing deportation without due process. Nowhere in the fourth amendment does it say citizens, it states all people to be safe in their person, houses, papers and effects

I believe this would violate the posse comitatus act

I’m not an attorney but I have a finger, smart phone and google. Zadvydas vs Davis ruled that due process applied to all persons present in the U S whether he legally or not

Also this program is a lot like another unpopular program from our past, Rendition under Clinton the Bush Administration

The president just made a statement that if the tariffs were left in place in 1930 the depression wouldn’t have happened. Everything I have read says the tariffs under the Smoot Hawley act of 1929 were a cause of the Great Depression

I support bringing both back neither one tried to get me to join try he Illuminati or sent me scantly dressed pics wanting a date so they are good people in my book

I would think in order to use this act we would need to be in an adversarial relationship with the aliens country of Origen. Did we go to war with someone and I missed it?

When a federal district court judge rules that actions of the executive branch are unconstitutional and the president ignores the courts ruling. His press secretary states the court doesn’t have authority over the executive branch. At what point does this qualify as a constitutional crisis

Being as old as I am I have learned history repeats itself. If you want to know what to expect the economy to do read about the Smoot Hawley Act of 1929. It’s tariffs were identified as one of the greatest causes of the Great Depression

You think he is not making plans if you pass the CR. If CC so I have this bridge I can sell you cheap

Social security is paid from the social security trust fund. When the fund has more money than required payments the excess buys U S treasury bonds. Presently the fund has 3 trillion in treasury bonds

The real concern I have is there is not a law that would allow him to initiate combat action against Panama or Greenland but the legislative branch cannot be trusted to uphold the law

I was commenting on the rules change that the republicans slipped in prior to the CR vote. The Democrats put in a bill under a privileged resolution that would require Speaker Johnson to bring it up for vote. They voted the 15 days won’t end until the end of 119th congress

Not a thing, at the beginning of the invasion the U S placed sanctions on Russia so tariffs are useless. I don’t see where there are many options left

Not a thing since the start of the invasion our sanctions have pretty well ended trade

Oops 119th congress sorry

If you look into the CR the Republicans changed a house rule to stop the Democrats from terminating Trumps emergency declaration that allows tariffs. The did this by voting that the days won’t end in the 118th congress

What is going to do place tariffs on them

Thanks

Isn’t this the definition of insanity. The starship was n January failed at the same point in the test. So obviously doing the same thing and expecting different results

I really believe it’s one of the reasons Musk bought the presidency. This resulted in the head of the FAA resigning, the one person who expressed concerns about the safety of the program. In view of the fact this last failure happiest the same point in the test as the first failure

Well it’s now obvious why Musk dismantled the FAA. The previous director had concerns about the safety of starship launches. Since they exploded another one today he might have been justified

@aoc.bsky.social I would appreciate it very much if you and the other Democrats would not support a continuing resolution. If the executive branch can appropriate and defund programs without the legislative branch please don’t make it easier for them

If President Zelenskyy signs such an agreement with Trump I will be very disappointed in him. The U S didn’t uphold their obligation under the 1994 Budapest Memorandum to ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty why would it be different this time

I hope this time if Zelenskyy signs an agreement that states we will ensure Ukraine sovereignty the it’s made from softer paper than the 1994 Budapest Memorandum so it can be of use in the bathroom when needed

@maddow.msnbc.com Hi I have seen people criticizing President Zelenskyy for what happened at the White House. I understand his concerns. In 1994 the United States and other nations agree to ensure Ukraine’s sovereignty if they gave up their nukes under the non proliferation treaty.

If the executive branch can choose what programs to fund and support is that not the same as line item veto which was ruled unconstitutional already

If you join Trumps cabinet are you required to renounce you citizenship? Rubio’s comments sounded very unamerican

I support President Zelenskyy in his interaction with Trump and Vance. I believe they planned to insult and belittle him

I’m concerned about Chief Justice Robert’s issued a stay on executive hold on appropriated funds. If SCOTUS grants the president control of the purse, authority granted the congress, I see a Constitutional crisis in the making

@maddow.msnbc.com I enjoy watching you show on msnbc. I have a question about a segment you did tonight (25 Feb) . Since Blackwater is a mercenary company the U S employed in Iraq and Afghanistan if they are used inside the country in police roles won’t that violate Posses Comitatus?

@petebuttigieg.bsky.social Mr. Secretary, I am looking at supporting you in 2028. You have demonstrated that you are articulate and well informed. Please make more public appearances and focus your comments on the economy and foreign relations thanks Senior Chief Kincaid USN ret

If the United States is going to start charging for military support, such as rare earth minerals, I think we need to change the names. Instead of the U S Army let’s get a mercenary name like Blackwater

I don’t understand how DOGE gets away with what’s happening. Example Treasury Order105-19 requires a security clearance for personnel with access to their data. I don’t believe the DOGE ( employees ?) do. If they are being paid what department is paying them and did congress appropriate funds

I’m little concerned that H5N1 bird flu is being found at a time the Trump administration let go ten percent of CDC force

I am not sure this is true if anyone has factual information please share. I just read that CDC data, available to the public, is being deleted

Is the Constitution still the law. If the military wants to build anything on a base they require Congress to appropriate funds. So how can the president build a 30,000 person camp at Gitmo without Congressional approval .

When the government of Venezuela took over oil production we called it socialism. When Trump has the government take over Tik Tok what will we call it?

I fully agree but would like term limits to Congress also. Changes to campaign finance laws so candidates can’t get around them by forming political action committees

I believe history will show Biden to be one of the most influential presidents the country has had

The Supreme Court should never have put Trump back on the ballot in Colorado after the Colorado Supreme Court upheld him being removed under the 14th. Article one and two clearly say the states run elections. The 10th amendment says SCOTUS didn’t have the authority
