At Speaker Pelosi's weekly presser, which is scheduled to begin in less than 10 minutes.

ICYMI, she deflected questions last night on the timing of sending the articles to the Senate, via my colleague @ByTimRyan courthousenews.com/pelosi-says-ho…
@ByTimRyan The press conference is about to begin.
@ByTimRyan Pelosi: "I have a spring in my step because of the moral courage of my caucus."
@ByTimRyan Pelosi cites the Clinton impeachment as precedent for waiting to see what form a Senate trial will take before selecting impeachment managers, who will transfer the articles.
@ByTimRyan Pelosi: "While he isn't here today, physically here, Elijah Cummings is here with us in spirit."

Quoting the late congressman, the speaker says he's now "dancing with the angels."

The Second Circuit just refused to stay a ruling blocking the Trump administration’s “public charge” rule on immigration.

Last October, a federal judge called the rule “repugnant to the American Dream.”

Background: courthousenews.com/judge-blocks-t…
The appellate court has not yet reached the merits of the appeal, but it won’t rescind the injunction before oral arguments.

I deleted and replaced a tweet to clarify the limited nature of today’s Second Circuit summary order.

While I'm in DC, big news broke that SDNY prosecutors accused Trump inauguration committee donor Imaad Zuberi of obstructing a grand jury investigation into his "substantial donation to the 58th Presidential Inaugural Committee." cc: @CourthouseNews

Doc: assets.documentcloud.org/documents/6601…
@CourthouseNews In November, Zuberi's attorneys predicted this turn of events when their client pleaded guilty in Los Angeles to acting as a foreign agent.

From my colleague @CNSNathan's coverage of that back then. courthousenews.com/trump-donor-pl…
@CourthouseNews @CNSNathan Zuberi's attorney declined to comment.

Relevant to Trump’s announced plan to commit war crimes:

The U.S. is not a signatory to the Rome Statute and has attacked the legitimacy of the ICC, which blocked a probe into CIA torture last year—explicitly buckling to the Trump admin’s pressure. courthousenews.com/buckling-to-tr…
Rather, the United States never *ratified* the Rome Statute.
This is the Trump White House press release celebrating the ICC’s rejection of the war crimes probe—on the grounds that the US “lack of cooperation” made prosecution impractical.

The official statement attacks the court as illegitimate.

Thread – Behind Enemy Lines with Rachel Maddow, Part I

1. Here was the scene a couple of weeks ago: it was Friday night after an amazing week: the House finally passed the USMCA trade agreement replacing NAFTA, the markets end a fourth consecutive week of breaking records, ….

2. And then there was the debate on the previous night between the Democrats’ Star Wars bar scene (a/k/a “top tier” Democrat presidential candidates). The debate was summed up perfectly here:

#ICYMI - Donald Trump was impeached 🍑this week. He’s also the first President to be impeached since the adoption of social media.

For the last issue of 🤯#FWIW this year, we take one final look at how impeachment is playing and has played online.
anotheracronym.org/newsletter/fwi…
Impeach-boi @realDonaldTrump's re-election campaign has now spent over $31.6 million on Facebook + Google ads since the 2018 midterms. His campaign increased spending a bit last week as the impeachment vote neared. 🍑
Last week, Bloomberg was again the top spender on Facebook + Google, but it is notable that @BernieSanders ramped up his spending on both platforms, dropping over half a million dollars across a seven-day period.

Here’s how much each candidate spent online last week:

We ❤️ and Trust Nancy Pelosi
@FriendsofNancyP
🚨📹#ICYMI: Speaker Pelosi was joined at her weekly presser by Rep. Adam Schiff, Chair of the House Intelligence Committee. LOTS of #ImpeachmentInquiry news after a week of jaw-dropping revelations.💥See below💥

But first, news about work in the House to #LowerDrugCosts w/ #HR3.
With #MadamSpeaker's stellar leadership, the Democratic House Majority is more than able to WALK + CHEW GUM at the same time.

As they've been doing throughout self-labeled #GrimReaper McConnell's obstruction, @HouseDemocrats are working #ForThePeople and to #ExposeTheTruth.
@HouseDemocrats Just as the past week has confirmed how ill-suited Trump is to the task of being President, it has made something else crystal clear:

❤️NANCY PATRICIA D'ALESANDRO PELOSI WAS MADE FOR THIS MOMENT.❤️

Thank you #MadamSpeaker for your principled leadership to #ProtectOurDemocracy.

1/8 Speaker #Pelosi sounded like the lawyer for #AlCapone (#BidenUkraine) arguing Eliot Ness (Trump) is bad guy.

Brings to mind Madison in Federalist 48: "POWER, by its nature, tends to ENCROACH beyond its assigned limits, and thus it must be restrained." #QAnon #Impeachment
2/8 Madison: "Will it be sufficient merely to mark precisely the boundaries of these departments in the Constitution, and then to trust the strength of these parchment barriers against this encroaching spirit of power? #QAnon #WWG1WGA
3/8 Madison: "In a republic, the People ought to indulge ALL their jealousy and exhaust ALL their PRECAUTIONS against the enterprising ambitions of the legislative department. (That is, CONGRESS.) tinyurl.com/y3n8j268

#ICYMI: Iranian forces fired 20 rockets at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights last night. In response, Israeli military set out on an extensive retaliatory attack against Iranian targets, the largest Israeli attack in Syria since 1974
No casualties reported on the Israeli side. Several targets connected to the #IRGC & Hezbollah attacked by Israel. Syrian media claims dozens of Israeli missiles were intercepted. There are reports of casualties in Syria.
More bomb shelters opened in northern Israel
The rocket barrage from Syria was directed at Israeli army outposts on the Golan Heights, like the intelligence assessment that the Iranian response will be limited so it won't lead to war. It is the 1st time Israel blames Iran directly for an attack on its territory
