The Dem Caucus had a conference call at 3pm today to discuss the pending Mueller rpt, during which @SpeakerPelosi took some very high ground. We're so fortunate to have her! #SaturdayThoughts

Chairmen Nadler & Schiff made it abundantly clear last night that AG Barr giving the WH or Trump a glimpse of what's in the Mueller Report would, at this point, be an absolute violation. They MUST not be allowed to edit the report. #SaturdayMorning thehill.com/homenews/admin…
That Trump left early for Fla, bringing WH Counsel & SHS w him, along with his behavior of last wk, gives us an idea that he was aware that it was, in fact, coming yesterday, even tho he took Graham w him for a GOP fundraiser. It's critical that it's clear he isn't given a look.
3-"Mueller’s report was submitted to Barr while Trump was at his Mar-a-Lago club in Palm Beach, Fla. He has yet to comment personally on the report. White House lawyers Pat Cipollone and Emmet Flood accompanied Trump to South Florida, an unusual move for one of the president’s

NEW: Wisconsin unions say they will file a lawsuit Monday over the lame-duck laws limiting the powers of @GovEvers and AG @JoshKaulWI.

The unions haven't disclosed their legal theories yet -- that will come Monday.
This would be the third legal action filed over the lame-duck laws.
First, @onewisconsinnow and @CitizenActionWI argued provisions of a lame-duck law limiting earlier voting violated an existing injunction.

A judge agreed and blocked that provision.

It's long past time we retired the phrase "lame duck". It's ableist, meant to provoke an image of something awkward, helpless, and useless... and that makes it dangerous, because the factors that make it "lame" rely on norms that one party has thrown out completely.
The idea behind the phrase as used in US politics is that during the gap between when you've lost an election and when your term of office ends, you've lost the mandate, everybody knows it, so you shouldn't do anything other than necessary routine business.
There may be stuff that needs to be done, there may be an unforeseen eventuality that must be addressed, but you don't try to get big ticket agenda items done because The People Have Spoken.

Byron York: Why not build a border barrier? It's the law washex.am/2QjIusN
The news is filled with images of migrants massing at the U.S-Mexico border near the San Ysidro crossing in California. Why haven't they been able to enter the United States? Because a physical barrier prevents them from doing so.
It is just another example of a barrier — a fence, a wall, whatever — providing real border security.

Without diving into this particular case, this type of attorney letter is a stall tactic when you think you're going to lose on the merits
The latter. Assume this were a run-of-the-mill Title VII case; typically Plaintiff's attorneys strike at the point they have maximum leverage, which Ford had. You delay when you hope some external event will turn up useful info instead

She may very well be telling the truth. But the FBI is not going to investigate, because even if we assume she's telling the 100% truth, there's no *federal* crime that took place. It's a dodge.

GOP just quietly passed a bill through committee that eviscerate Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid by 2 trillion.

Will try 2 pass this through reconciliation during the lame duck session-51 votes?

The 14th amdt turns 150 years old this year on July 9. It is the closest we’ve come to writing into the constitution what we claimed in the Declaration of Independence. If you’re forced to pick one, choose the 14th - above the 1st, the 2nd, or the FIF. Sorry Dave Chappelle.
2/x I’m using this as a thread to post one tweet a day about the fourteenth amendment until its 150th anniversary on July 9th. John Bingham, republican of Ohio, is credited as the principal author of Section 1 of the amendment, which contains its substantive rights provisions.
3/x I sort of lied when I said I would post one tweet per day until July 9th to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the 14th. Some ideas don’t fit in one tweet. So let’s say one thread per day - short ones:
