Bloomberg saw a draft of the address. It does not indicate emergency powers.
Serious Republican pushback against idea of invoking war powers. For instance: Senator John Cornyn, a Texas Republican, said the standoff over funding the wall “is an imminently solvable problem.”
Key point: Admin appears to believe SCOTUS will bail out POTUS and if it doesn't, the Republican base will blame SCOTUS.

1. Odds are the president is going to go on television tonigh to announce that he’s going to agree to reopen the government after 17 days of closure while simultaneously invoking national emergency powers allowing him to bypass Congress to start building a wall on the border.
2. If this happens, and it’s still an if, you’re going to hear plenty of people react in ways that range from concern to alarm to fear to outright panic. Some will accuse Donald Trump of trying to be an American dictator.
3. Others will argue, I think correctly, that the president is abusing the constitutional powers of his office, reinforcing the claim that he’s unfit to rule and sending him one further step toward removal.

1. @billscher touches a conventional wisdom that I keep chewing on. "Loyalists always seem satisfied ... so long as he is fighting. Winning has been secondary." I said the same two weeks ago, but the longer this shutdown goes on, the more I think the wall really matters.
2, If fighting were all that mattered, he would have caved already, no? If the wall really matters, then this could go on for a long--long--time. I guess we'll see.
Lately, I always profit from reading @billscher. You should too. politico.com/magazine/story…

Guys, I want to talk about email marketing as an author for a minute. For those of you that don't know, my day job is in internet marketing, I've been doing it for sixteen years. And as someone who spends a lot of time in that world, some of the 'tips' I see for authors are WRONG
And sometimes borderline illegal (depending on the country). If you want to send emails for your author brand, please do some research before you start this. It's not something to be taken lightly, there are laws you need to follow. Every year new laws are being rolled out
So it's something you need to stay on top of. In the US there's CAN-Spam, Europe now has GDPR, and Canada has CASL. I can't break them all down here, but I really recommend doing your research if you're considering creating an email list. I'll cover a few important points below.

the albemarle charlottesville regional jail board is meeting today to vote on their policy of voluntarily notifying ICE of inmate release dates. guards outside the jail are turning away members of the public, saying there is no parking at this public meeting.
they’re advising people to park at the food lion .5mi away. the guard i spoke to said they have NOT confirmed this is ok with the property owners at the shopping center &he is “not responsible” for the safety of people walking along the busy road with no sidewalks or crosswalks.
we showed up anyway. 20-30 members of the public are here, some inside to make public comments, most outside here in the overflow picnic shelter, watching on big old tube TVs. members of the press have been denied access to the building.

Now I wanna say that smarts is relative, but as a whole, we go to places where we can learn.
Some people go on twitter so they can learn about more shit to be outraged about.

Some people go to the library to learn more about history and shit like that.

All of that is cool.

It also means that you could possibly end up being the smartest person in the room.
