If the President thinks there’s a crisis at the border, why would he enthusiastically shut down the Dept of Homeland Security indefinitely?

(Psssst...I’m gonna let you in on a secret...the President doesn’t actually care about border security...)

1/ Your help needed to find 120,000 missing GA votes!
Our next preliminary hearing in the Lt. Gov election lawsuit is Wed. It's a “Motions hearing.” The SOS is arguing that case should be dismissed b/c they claim that counties (not SOS) conduct the elections! Never mind that...

SCOOP: Trump's 2020 re-election campaign used a shell company to pay ad buyers in alleged illegal coordination scheme with the NRA while America First's pro-Trump super PAC & "dark money" 501(c)(4) paid the same individuals for "pro-Trump agenda" ads https://t.co/AWEFoGwiHA

Oddly enough no one at the Green Party responded to this story. But since @DrJillStein is an avid reader of my tweets, hopefully she will respond here. Retweet if you’d like to hear her response. https://t.co/HLdCSsysG2

Pay attention to what is happening in Hungary.

It’s right wing prime minister, Viktor Orbán, has been busily dismantling democracy there under the cover of rhetoric about the dangers of immigration.

Authoritarian policies limiting freedom of the press have been implemented.

Amazon just affirmed they provide facial recognition technology to ICE.

"We think the federal government should have access to the best technology." - Brian Huseman, Amazon VP for Public Policy.

In pursuit of profit, they are willing partners in Trump's deportation machine.

The news from Yemen gets more and more terrible. This week's updates:

1. It's getting worse. November's casualty numbers were highest of the entire war.

2. Surprise! We never billed the Saudis for the mid-air refueling. U.S. taxpayers have been footing the bill for their war.

[Senator Dick Durbin @SenatorDurbin]

Senate Republicans just voted to confirm a circuit court nominee, Jonathan Kobes, who was rated “not qualified” to serve in this position by the non-partisan American Bar Association. Why are Republicans pushing unqualified judges?

This is not a drill. Putin is preparing to invade Ukraine.

@sarahkendzior @leahmcelrath She won the popular vote. By millions. He won the electoral college because Russia stole her game plan and gave him that too, so he could preemptively travel to her destinations.

If anyone, particularly attorneys, wants to really learn about #FOIA, you can participate in a webinar CLE class I am co-teaching with a #DOJ attorney (we have been doing so together for 15 years now).

Sen. Mark Warner expresses 'grave concerns' about digital ad fraud in letter to the FTC: https://t.co/LgDwKcSGp2

[Josh Marshall @joshtpm]

Critical part of the story. There was lots of evidence of this fraud going back to past elections. Local GOPs basically didn't care. https://t.co/LO8rE7NBqX via @TPM

Vote Leave cheated and Brexit is a product of fraud. If you cheat in the Olympics, you lose your medal. If you cheat on an exam, you get a fail. We should not leave the EU on the basis of cheating. https://t.co/SX27hcV4P6

[Rep. Eric Swalwell @RepSwalwell]

Today, @realDonaldTrump meets with @BetsyDeVosED. The meeting is a reminder that disinvestment in, and privatization of education is failing your kids. We should seize the opportunity in an infrastructure bill to build modern schools in every community. #FreedomToDream

[David Weigel @daveweigel]

Another story to watch: Pennsylvania Republicans are threatening to deny a senate seat to the Democrat who won it, because they're not satisfied with her evidence that she moved to the state four years before the election. https://t.co/GwFu1sfLDg

[Rachel Maddow @maddow]

Blunt, angry @MiamiHerald editorial calling for resignation of Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta after the shattering expose from @jkbjournalist on Acosta's role in the Jeffrey Epstein child rape case...

Trump is expected to have lunch with Gov. Andrew Cuomo tomorrow, per a White House aide.
