#Mueller’s investigation is moving into a new phase with the first indictments expected as soon as Monday.
cnn.com/2017/10/27/pol…
In the last week, RW outlets like Fox unleashed a series of absurd theories re: HRC, Russia, Mueller & a cover-up.
*45's reaction to potential indictments was to tweet the ridiculous claims about HRC & beg @GOP to “DO SOMETHING.” newsweek.com/trump-panics-t…
Many believe it to be a matter of time before *45 fires Mueller as the investigation closes around his inner circle. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
Bipartisan bills have been introduced in the House and Senate to protect the Mueller investigation. newsweek.com/trump-panics-t…
We urgently need this legislation to be accelerated to protect the investigation & prevent a Constitutional crisis. latimes.com/opinion/op-ed/…
If *45 fires #Mueller, there must be an overwhelming response to ensure Congress protects the investigation.
Please read the plans for organized peaceful protest if the event Mueller is fired. #ProtectMueller

If Trump declares a #StateOfEmergency - a tool used by autocrats throughout history to consolidate power - he will justify it by using contrived statistics.

This is textbook authoritarian and it will require education & support for institutional guardrails to defeat.
Institutional guardrails include Congress & Courts.

The 1976 National Emergencies Act provides some checks & balances on Trump's ability to declare an emergency.

House Democrats must hold hearings & court challenges must occur.

CC: @TeamPelosi @RepCummings @OversightDems
Unfortunately, the 1976 Act was later amended to require the President's signature or a 2/3rds veto override in both chambers.

Thus, should Trump ultimately declare a #StateOfEmergency tomorrow, it will be on @HouseDemocrats to hold hearings ASAP & expose his plan.

TODAY: Accountability returns to D.C.

Meet & follow our Defenders of Democracy (tagged), & learn how each, in their capacity as Chairs of critical House committees, will hold Trump & cronies accountable.

No more #CultureOfCorruption without oversight starting today.

1/ Financial Services Cmte. (@FSCDems)

High on @RepMaxineWaters' agenda are Deutschebank loans to Trump & Trump's roll-back of banking regulations.

She also aims to empower the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which the Trump administration has been gutting.
2/ Intelligence Cmte. (No Twitter handle yet)

Under R's, Intel impeded the Russia probe, pushed Deep State conspiracy theories & blocked subpoenas.

But now, @RepAdamSchiff is staffing up Intel for a real investigation of Russia's attack on democracy & Trump campaign complicity.

Retired generals, regardless political persuasion, continue to sound alarm bells about the danger Trump poses, yet Republicans refuse to take responsibility for the traitor in their ranks.
The breadth of voices refusing to even consider a position working in the cabinet of the President of the United States should make even the most fervent Trump supporter worried.

And it's more than just generals who have been engaged in unprecedented public critiques of the President.

Chief Justice Roberts issued a public rebuke of Trump after he politicized the courts.

Postcards From the Rubicon
@RubiconPostcard
As requested, I'm putting the NEWLY UPGRADED instructions for this #ProtectMueller #Resistance project into a text format. This covers 1) why bother doing this, 2) how to find the donors' addresses on the FEC website, and 3) how to send a postcard to your list of donors.
1/ We’re getting close to a constitutional crisis here, so we really need to try something new to stop this. Of course, keep calling Congress–but it’s become painfully obvious that the GOP–the people with the power to stop this–only respond to their base and their donors.
2/ So we’re going to speak to their masters & send a BLIZZARD of postcards to their big donors to remind them what is at stake before we reach a point of no return, before Trump crosses the Rubicon (just Google it) #Indivisible #PostcardsToDonors #PostcardsToVoters #TheResistance

This afternoon, I spoke on the Senate Floor to raise the alarm about the looming Constitutional crisis we face – one that threatens the very foundation of our democracy.
We are watching a calculated, concerted, and coordinated effort to discredit the Special Counsel – led by a chorus of Pres. Trump’s defenders. That should worry every American.
The Senate must unite against the sycophants slandering the Russia investigation and FBI officials with baseless conspiracies. What’s at stake here is nothing less than the rule of law.

(THREAD) There's now a rumor in Congress that Trump plans to fire Special Counsel Mueller on December 22. If this happens, it will trigger a constitutional crisis. This thread explains what's happening and what to do—please read and share it widely.

This is an actual emergency.
1/ Trump cannot legally fire Bob Mueller. First, because that authority resides exclusively with Acting Attorney General Rosenstein; second, because even as head of the Executive Branch, Trump cannot exert his power for a criminal purpose. Firing Bob Mueller would be Obstruction.
2/ Mueller has seen all the evidence against Trump and his associates; the public has seen only a fraction of it. I can say—as a former criminal attorney and investigator researching this case since 2016—no exculpatory evidence has been found. All evidence points toward guilt.

The House passed their #TaxScam bill. Now it's all about the Senate. Here's the thing: By my count, we have 10 GOP Senators that could cause real problems for McConnell. We have to inundate them with calls/emails. Here they are:
Ron Johnson R-WI
He's said he'll vote no because he doesn't like the way the bill treats small businesses. Wisconsin - stay on him. Don't let him change his mind.
Senator Collins R-ME
She's one of the three that voted down Trumpcare & isn't happy with the ACA mandate repeal. Also, she's the author of the tax credit for teachers which got slashed in the House bill. Maine - stay on her!!
