3/3 DOJ is trying to speed the case up by created self-imposed deadline of 1/10. No reason court cannot address the issues more soberly.

THREADETTE: Today's @SpecialReport w/ @BretBaier included interview of Canada's UN Ambassador Bob Rae. While Rae claimed tariff was only harmful, Bret countered administration saw "movement today with Mexico and Canada promising a lot that they weren't promising before.” 1/
2/ "Not true," Rae responded claiming Trudeau had already committed to those expenditures. Now, it wouldn't surprise me if Trump had already gotten some of those same commitments, I did some searching and couldn't find the supposed announcements Rae noted. Image
3/ So crowd-sourcing: What had Trudeau already committed to versus what was announced? Either way, Rae was unwise to contradict Trudeau & Trump's message of working together to solve problem, since there is still much to resolve.

🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: D.C. District Court issues TRO barring freeze of grants, again with crazy reasoning that OMB Directive in effect, remains in effect. 1/ Image
2/ WHILE judge is correct voluntary cessation is an exception to mootness, the problem here is that there is no basis to say Trump will enact same broad policy and in fact, freeze is based on EO--so those should have been the issue for Court. Image
3/ The Court ignores it was the EO's which prompted freezes and that no challenge was made in complaint to EO. Image

🧵on U.S. dispute w/ Canada: It seems there are several under radar conflicts w/ Canada public is unaware of, i.e., fentanyl, limits U.S. banks, or issue I'm currently digging into, Boundary Waters Treaty, which governs how U.S. & Canada share waters along its 5,500 border. 1/
2/ That is both longest border shared by two countries in world, but 45% of border is water. The BWT created International Joint Commission which is charged w/ resolving or preventing conflict b/w U.S. & Canada re shared water.
3/ One huge success since adoption of BWT is vast imp. in water quality of Great Lakes. But in areas w/ shared borders, where water flows into CA, U.S. taxpayers pay cost. But where CA water flows to U.S., CA won't abide by BWT or pay $ to protect U.S. from population from CA.

🚨🚨🚨Federal judge (Obama-appointee) enters TRO (Temporary Restraining Order) over Trump Administration's freeze of federal spending. 1/
2/ Full opinion. Analysis following. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
3/ This introductory paragraph exposes the Court's activism: A Court doesn't issue a TRO based on undefined "pauses" where complaint was specific--it challenged OMB Directive which is no more. Image
