Reminder Trump's border plan was rejected by a GOP Senate; Dems offered him $25b for the wall which he turned down; and now he is rejecting Jan/Feb Senate/House debate. He has utterly failed to get his way thru democratic means so he is blowing up our govt instead. It's insane.
2/And why Dems can't give into this kind of petulant authoritarian behavior. If they do so now incentivizes Trump to go around Congress again. Critical now for Dems to reestablish regular order - hearings, bills, analysis, debate. Democracy. How its worked for over 200 years.
3/Trump has already declared fictional natl emergencies around the deficit, trade and the border, invoking emergency powers to go around Congress. His rancid abuse of these powers is now going to have become a major issue for the House Dems. theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
4/Our petty autocrat is demanding Congress 1) fund a wall he promised would be free 2) fund a wall w/o ANY justification for why it's needed, where it will go, w/o hearings, studies, debate. 3) Make MAJOR changes to US immigration law w/o hearings, studies, debate. Is unAmerican.
