    TSA employees are literally sick of the unpaid . 300% increase in sick days. Many finding new jobs. 2,361,000 flight passengers daily, 300k are international. Less than 2000 border crossings where Trump's "wall" would go. Does Trump really care about security?

  2. . If Mitch won't do his job leading a co-equal branch of government -- a direct violation of his oath to support the Constitution -- then impeach him. tell McConnel to bring the House bill forward. Open the government! It's your job.

  4. ICYMI. Trump just threatened to impose martial law and almost nobody noticed. Claiming a national emergency at the southern border = martial law. He will use the military to perform civilian duties. It's a very subtle move he's making and we need to be alert.

  6. Pelosi said F-bombs are a generational thing. It's not my style but to each be free. If you are comfortable with eff-ing tweets, what's your age group?

  7. Not that a finer point is needed, but consider his future, from his perspective, with his brain. The only way to avoid prison may be becoming dictator. Or in his own words, "president for life... maybe we'll give that a shot someday."

  8. If he truly has a plan (is possible he doesn't) then he would wait for an unfavorable court ruling to make it complete. He would suspend the courts for not supporting the national emergency and use military courts. Recall he boosted border courts with military lawyers last year.

  10. "Nancy said, 'We're not looking to impeach you.' I said, 'That's good, Nancy, that's good.'" Sounds a lot like "He told me three times I wasn't under investigation." Comey later regretted giving those talking points. Learn from it . He is a target. Period.

  11. Contrary to Trump's claim, he doesn't have special powers to order the building of a wall as a national security emergency. His only special power is the ability to make every decision about himself.

  12. Just to be clear, it's not McConnell's job to screen bills from the president. That's why the Congress can override with a two-thirds supermajority vote if Trump vetoes the bills. The Constitution matters. Senators can be impeached too.

  14. Steel slat walls. Everybody says we must be able to see bad activity. And so we need doors to get to the other side to stop it. And retracting sections if it's really bad. And then we need roads to get to the retracting sections. And lighting. And... And... And... Or no wall.

  15. Trump is genuinely incapable of telling the truth. This morning he said previous presidents (plural) have told him that they should have built the wall. What is the malady of a chronic liar?

    Mostly true. McConnell will own the if he doesn't bring the House bills to the floor.

    If you've got a GOP Senator in your state, send them your thoughts about re-opening the govt. 2 GOP defectors have already said they'll support the House bills.

    . put up a brave face 2 days ago. Then he promptly said he supports the wall. It's not for his voters. Only 25% in Utah support the wall and a majority disapprove of Trump. Nice feint, Mitt. Your stripes are looking just like the others.
