1/ If Trump starts building his border wall, he can invoke something called a Declaration of Taking. It's like eminent domain on steroids. A court grants title to the land to the federal government. Bulldozers can roll the next day.
2/ The only fight, essentially, is over how much money the property owner will receive.

All of this "Taking" has happened before: after Congress passed The Secure Fence Act of 2006, which called for 654 miles of fence along the southern border. So we looked into how that went:

The time has come. The #MuellerReport is finally in.

Things are going to get pretty hectic, but keep in mind: there’s a lot we still don’t know.

Here are six important tips for navigating whatever comes next.
👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
1. Don’t 👏 predict 👏

We don’t know what’s in there, and we don’t know what will be made public.

The House wants it public, but it’s up to the attorney general at this point.
2. Stop focusing on collusion.

At a Rhode Island legislative hearing yesterday, witnesses decried the lack of CPR instructions provided by call takers at the state’s 911 center. Meanwhile, the State Police superintendent pledged to review procedures and training of 911 call takers. propub.li/2UKfVDW
This comes just after our investigation. Experts say better training could save hundreds more cardiac arrest victims per year in the state. propub.li/2YeRL6H
We'll be taking a long look at Rhode Island's 911 system w/ @thepublicsradio.
