Democrats leave 'emergency' meeting vowing to fight Trump actions

Jeffries and his leadership team are calling on all rank-and-file Democrats to stage "a day of action" this week, while the House is in recess. And lawmakers said they're already taking that message to heart, staging town halls with voters and Zoom calls with advocacy groups to warn against what they see as a dire threat to America's democratic traditions. 

In blue districts, that might mean preaching largely to the choir. But Huffman, for one, said he's planning to step into more hostile territory to deliver the message. 

"I had a jam-packed town hall last night — I'm going to be doing more of them," he said. "But I am looking at going into the Republican parts of my district to show what a wrecking ball this federal spending freeze is for the very people in communities who think Trump cares about them."…

Opinion | Republicans never get to complain about these things again - The Washington Post

I never want to hear President Trump whine about phony accounts of voter fraud again. On Wednesday, he suggested North Carolina voters should test their vote-by-mail system, thereby committing what amounts to voter fraud. “Let them send it in and let them go vote, and if their system’s as good as they say it is, then obviously they won’t be able to vote," Trump said. "If it isn’t tabulated, they’ll be able to vote.” This would be illegal — and obviously so. Attorney General William P. Barr pleaded ignorance on Wednesday as to whether voting twice is a crime and also ducked a question from CNN’s Wolf Blitzer about how many actual voter fraud claims the feds have pursued. (Hint: Hardly any.) Trump and his enablers have gone from making up claims of voter fraud to countenancing and encouraging it. ....

President Donald Trump suffered a major legal setback last August in his effort to deconstruct the administrative state when a federal judge struck down key portions of three executive orders aimed at weakening federal unions and making it easier to fire government employees. But since then, the administration has been achieving the same goals through a different avenue ― the bargaining table. And they've done it with an assist from presidential appointees whose job is to referee labor disputes....

Trump says he's 'absolutely' considering proposals to dissolve court blocking his executive orders

Donald Trump's so-called "travel ban" barring Muslim visitors and refugees from entering the country has been blocked by several courts. Because Donald Trump is (1) incompetent, (2) an idiot, and (3) under the impression our nation should grant him dictatorial powers, Donald Trump has a solution to this: Simply dissolve the courts causing him trouble, thus making the law whatever he wants it to be....
