And not a single mention in the Times about Michael Ellis installing himself as CIA general counsel. Fascinating.

Author’s note: This went out to paid subscribers about two hours ago. After I published it, I went outside to finish a chore I had started earlier. The thought, “You need to send this one out to everyone,” was persistent. That’s why I’m sharing it now with all subscribers.

…or horrified by the blatant capitulation of mainstream media, law firms, corporations & academic institutions

…or simply fed up with the constant gaslighting, the daily assault on rule of law, the revision of our values & history

This is your fight.

See you at #NoKings this Saturday.

It really is bizarre to me that every single member of GOP House leadership & the admin has decided their coordinated talking point this week is that the No Kings demonstrations this Sat are essentially acts of domestic terrorism. Are they that afraid of free & peaceful assembly?

The plan to force taxpayers to cover emergency medical costs for non-citizens is a law called EMTALA: signed into law by the infamous democrat Ronald Reagan.

Lisa McClain: "Democrats' plan forces taxpayers to cover the majority of emergency medical costs for all non-citizens. Another $28 billion tab for who? You guessed it, the American people."

Sen. Whitehouse (D) is fuming and rightfully so! The hypocrisy from Trump’s DOJ is off the charts. Pam Bondi lies to Congress about his campaign contributions after indicting Comey the day before for the exact same thing!

Trump's mechanism to pay the troops during the shutdown is by far the most illegal budgetary action he's taken as POTUS, potentially setting the stage to break everything.

It's also needless because Congress would easily pass a troop pay bill if Johnson were willing to gavel in.

Long thread.
