.@SpeakerPelosi: "When the president declares this emergency, first of all, it's not an emergency what's happening at the border." She also says, "the president making an end run around Congress."

Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency, & a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that Pres @realDonaldTrump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.

Trump is upset he wasn't interviewed by Bob Woodward for his book "FEAR” coming out Sept 11th.
Woodward tried, the interview never panned out.

Imagine how ‘exasperated’ Trump will be when Mueller’s report comes out & he wasn’t interviewed.
cnn.com/2018/09/04/pol…
Per Woodward book ‘Fear”, Dowd did a practice session with Trump to prepare him for Mueller interview, peppering him with questions about Russia investigation and “provoking stumbles, contradictions and lies until the president eventually lost his cool.” washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-w…
From Woodward’s book ‘Fear’, Sept 11th release date :

Kelly said of Trump to others in one meeting, “He’s an idiot. It’s pointless to try to convince him of anything. He’s gone off the rails. We’re in Crazytown. I don’t even know why any of us are here.” washingtonpost.com/politics/bob-w…

Kris Kobach's lead in Repub primary has shrunk to only 91 votes after election officials discovered a mistake in the listing for one county's results in the state's tally of votes.

Deafening silence from conservative conspiracy theorist who would normally contend mistake = fraud

Kobach‘s dept decreased his opponents vote total
"Shelly Harms, Thomas County clerk, said in a phone interview that her office reported correct data to the state ... Ms. Harms said Mr. Colyer’s vote total was the only number from her county the state recorded incorrectly." 👀

Kansas Gov. Jeff Colyer says Secretary of State Kris Kobach is giving election officials guidance "inconsistent with Kansas law" about handling mailed-in and other ballots as the count continues in their unresolved GOP primary. apnews.com/14cc7856c9e94b…

"The Constitution gives him 10 days to sign the major bill.

President Trump should move forward with his national emergency.

But he must ensure nothing in the spending bill would block the wall."
breitbart.com/politics/2019/…
From the article:

"The White House should be extremely cautious in studying every single word in Congress’s spending bill, because even a single phrase could negate every authority President Donald Trump currently has under federal law to build and fund the border wall, ...
... even canceling his authority to declare a national border emergency.

Declaring a national emergency would be a lawless act, a gross abuse of the power of the presidency and a desperate attempt to distract from the fact that @realDonaldTrump broke his core promise to have Mexico pay for his wall.
It is yet another demonstration of @realDonaldTrump’s naked contempt for the rule of law. This is not an emergency, and the President’s fearmongering doesn’t make it one.
.@realDonaldTrump couldn’t convince Mexico, the American people or their elected representatives to pay for his ineffective and expensive wall, so now he’s trying an end-run around Congress in a desperate attempt to put taxpayers on the hook for it.

'In the last of his major national addresses on the Democrat-created border impasse, the president offered the opposing party big wins on immigration. In exchange, he asked for common sense border security measures.

That’s how serious the president was.'

Exerpts from the article by @Harlan:

'But as she did with every offer from him, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) scornfully rejected President Trump’s attempt at compromise.

This time she did it before he even spoke.'
'As the effective leader of one of the country’s major parties, that’s her right.

But she can’t then claim to be interested in compromise or solutions.'

Thread:

I made mention awhile back that I held constitutional objections to the Medicare For All proposals that periodically come up. It's a complex topic, so it took me a couple weeks to put this together into a (hopefully) coherent argument, but at last, here it is. #m4a
The wide range of concerns around Medicare For All has resulted in these being pretty muddy waters, so for the sake of holding a focused discussion, let's just assume that, with the exception of constitutionality, all other concerns have been satisfactorily assuaged.
In other words, I don't want to get sidetracked by whether or not M4A would cause stagnation in medical advancements, lower incentives to enter the field, suffer from too many bureaucratic inefficiencies, etc.

Let's just assume that, if implemented, it's a guaranteed success.

I'm going to do a brief thread on this. Please don't mail me a bomb. abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/t…
The grim truth is that the Constitution really does require this, and the President that I love too really did violate it to make these pmts
The clear text of the Constitution: no money may be drawn from the treasury except by appropriations by law. To the best of my knowledge
