    "I can do it if I want," President Trump says, when asked if he's considering using executive authority to call a national emergency and start building the wall *without* congressional approval.

        He's trying to distract the press from reporting on the most important pro-democracy, pro-America legislation of most of our lifetimes, which #WeThePeople’s new Democratic wave majority introduced today. Don't let him. That's your job.https://mobile.twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1081219666071162882 …

        He’s a vain and petty man. *45 serves his own interests. He admires and emulates mobsters and dictators and seeks their approval. The press and pundits normalize his behavior by reporting his words. It’s past time for more reporting on his actions. #FollowTheMoney

        First step toward postponing the 2020 election. I know I'm shouting in the wilderness here; but, if he's still President in the Fall of 2020, I firmly believe that there'll be a "National Emergency" and a postponement of the election.

        But there is NO national emergency! This is a made-up crisis. I'm seriously worried about this. Yesterday, Tucker Carlson was ranting about how bad it is to have women who are smarter and make more money than men- are women going to be the next made-up crisis? #handmaidstale

        Again folks, read up on history. Reichstag fire in 1933. If we understand what happened there & how it was orchestrated, we will see the playbook for autocrats/dictators to consolidate power & how this latest gem from 45 fits smoothly into this game plan.

        So there's LITERALLY no reason to keep the government shut down. None. He doesn't need Congress to build the wall, according to him.

        Veto override is the quickest way. Call your Senators and ask them to demand McConnell bring the spending bills to the floor.

        Kentucky itself has to demand it. It's all McConnell.

        It’s as if Trump was hired to expose all the ways that executive power is excessive and can be used for corrupt purposes. The limits imposed on exec power after he’s impeached will be impressive.
