Democrats are furious that the Trump Administration held a briefing on Capitol Hill today about U.S. military strikes on suspected drug boats. Only Republicans were invited. This is from Sen. Mark Warner D-VA.

Tell me a scenario in which Trump accepts that his completed ballroom is being used by a Democrat or a Republican he hates. This is, literally, a monument to permanence. Itโs not the action of someone planning to leave.

Does seem like thereโs a non-zero chance that the shutdown never really ends and that Congress has already abolished itself.

What a despicable little man who is lying through his teeth to try to incite violence against Americans who will be peacefully assembling to protest the Trump regimeโs anti-democratic rule.

Even if you support massive deportation operations, under no circumstances should ANYONE be ok with US citizens being forcibly removed from their homes and detained without explanation. This is a clear violation of their constitutional rights and should universally condemned.

In any event, if he does try this dumb stunt, an obvious and correct response would be for governors among others to ignore anything purporting to be from a "Department of War" or "Secretary of War" on the objectively true grounds that neither of those things exist.

Never before in our history has one man exercised such unbridled discretion affecting the lives of so many of us, while simultaneously preventing others โ Congress, the courts, the American people โ from having a say or even knowing what heโs going to do next. This is what dictatorship looks like.

I think the fact that the president can make up a bullshit pretext about crime, activate various states' national guard units and invade a major city with basically minimal pushback of any kind reflects very poorly on Americans generally

Clark can (and surely will) appeal the D.C. Barโs determination to the D.C. Court of Appeals (not to be confused with the D.C. Circuit). But Ryan is 100% correctโthis is a big deal.

Cry me a river. Maybe theyโre burned out from terrorizing families & traumatizing kids. From dragging moms out of courtrooms. Or chasing day laborers through parking lots like itโs a game. If thatโs whatโs breaking them, maybe they should ask themselves who theyโre really serving.

Newly relevant. Among other things, SCOTUS' disrespect for the lower courts' backbreaking work is stunning. Detailed rulings & fact-findings met w shadow docket proclamations like, "the administrative stay is granted," or "the govt is likely to prevail [no further detail,] so stay is granted."

Why are the New York Times editors asking this question when they know the answer is no? Itโs fear of telling the truth too directly. Even when NYT stories make strong points, the headlines fuzz things up.

With this budget, ICE alone would have nearly as large a detention operation as all 50 states' prison systems combined. Bigger budget than the Marine Corps. Police-state levels of spending

Way worse. If ICE wants to have credibility, they need uniforms and badges, cause right now, why should any of us believe this wasnโt them?
