Here are some of the anti-immigrant provisions included in the Trump-McConnell bill to end the #TrumpShutdown:
Excludes hundreds of thousands of DACA-eligible individuals and all TPS recipients from the African countries the President disparaged. Includes sweeping new restrictions that would bar many current DACA recipients.
Makes it much more difficult to receive TPS in the future, and guts protections for Central American children seeking safe haven in our country.
Makes it much harder for anyone fleeing persecution to claim asylum.
This isn’t a compromise. I have always backed smart measures to secure our border, but this is an anti-immigrant wish-list that I can’t support.

At the first meeting of the homeland security conferees yesterday, I urged my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to focus on smart and effective border security measures as opposed to threats of government shutdowns or emergency declarations from President Trump.
The President may be disappointed if we don’t give him everything he’s asked for, but if this Appropriations Committee did that, it would be a first in history.
We must use our bipartisan judgement to make the right decision for the American taxpayers and for the safety of this country. I'm confident that if we do that, we can come to a sensible agreement.

There is no reason why essential federal employees should continue to suffer while politicians in Washington bargain a compromise on border security. That is why I voted to reopen the government for two weeks while we continue to debate smart and effective border security.
Unfortunately, not enough of my Republican colleagues joined this bipartisan effort, so the government will remain closed for now and federal employees will risk missing yet another paycheck.
There are several Continuing Resolution options available to reopen the government. I hope my Republican colleagues will join our call to open the government as soon as possible.

Last year in Venezuela, I met with now interim leader Juan Guaidó and many of his talented colleagues elected to the National Assembly during my visit. They are brave patriots who see a more hopeful and democratic future for the Venezuelan people.
I plan to speak with him in the days ahead and offer my support for his pledge to lead a thoughtful, peaceful transition to a legitimate election that meets international standards in the immediate future.

Okay so here is some more procedural color:
- the next SCOTUS conference is 2/15 (this is the earliest next date a decision to take #DACA case could@come)
- Court could also relist it for another conference they have about 3 of those a month apparently, so basically all those 1/
Become potential “take the case” dates.
- Those dates hit a culmination point in June when they make decisions on things before summer break.
- other intervening timeline elements include other DACA cases in other circuits, those rulings could give other procedural options 2/
For DOJ to seek the court’s review.
- however - and with the caveat that the SCOTUS can basically do as they please- it seems that all of these options IF the court granted cert would result in a Fall hearing (Octoberish)
- Decisions from fall hearings don’t exactly 3/

@jennycohn1 Throughout Donald Trump’s presidency, Artem Klyushin has tweeted Trump directly with his recommendations (read: thinly veiled orders) and Trump follows suit.

🚨Now Mr. Klyushin says “It is time to remove Ruth Ginzburg...it’s time for her to rest.” This is a serious threat.
@jennycohn1 2. Artem Klyushin is instructing @realDonaldTrump to “retire” @scotusginsburg.

Why is a Russian citizen giving @POTUS orders? Why does Russia want a Conservative Supreme Court?

How complexly entangled is the GOP with Russia? Why are they openly conspiring with a State Enemy?
@jennycohn1 @realDonaldTrump @scotusginsburg @POTUS 3. Artem Klyushin may know US Presidents select Supreme Court Candidates, who then must be approved by the Senate.

But - Does Klyushin know US Presidents can’t remove Justices? This is the critical question. If yes, then the order to “retire” RBG takes on a threatening meaning.
