Chutkan: The deadline for filing a motion like this has already passed.
Chutkan: You want to file this because there’s dicta in a concurrence. There’s binding DC Circuit precedent in this issue and you have a concurrence and an opinion written by another district judge which this court “doesn’t find persuasive."
Lauro: When you read Justice Thomas’ concurrence he’s telling us to file this motion.
@DonaldJTrumpJr But please do tell us more about our governor’s incompetence. I don’t know who you’re referring to that has been silent about it - I certainly don’t know anyone in this state who has anything good to say about Cruz’ OR Abbott’s behavior during this crisis.
Talk about “faux outrage” - you don’t even know who you’re talking about. And how exactly does pointing out a person’s misdeeds equate with “canceling” them? Do you actually believe it’s ok for a Senator to sneak across the border while his constituents are suffering and dying?
The hypocrisy of those trying to cancel Ted Cruz who have been totally silent on their Democrat Governor’s incompetence is telling. My thoughts on the Cancún Cruz fauxoutrage! #Cruz#CancunGate is fake.

Leave your snark, scorn and contempt for freezing people up your ass where it belongs. Privatization is a scourge, yes. But stop gloating. Suffering is not a punchline! These ruinous policies enrich the few at the expense of the many, & the most vulnerable are disenfranchised.
Years of deregulation and the failure of leaders to care about the needs of their constituents made Texas a failed state not because gov't doesn't work for the people but because republicans refuse to govern for the people. The same is true for almost every republican led state.
I, for one, think we should recognize the sacrifice Ted Cruz made to take his daughters to Mexico. He did not blow a single goat on that plane. #TedCruzBlowsGoats
"I think he threw in the towel on Texas... when I first saw that headline... I couldn't believe it. I thought it was a rumor, I thought somebody was trying to defame Ted Cruz."
- Rep. Joaquin Castro on Texas Sen. Ted Cruz traveling to Mexico for vacation amid weather disaster
"He's admitting they did plan to spend the weekend there all along as millions of his constituents were freezing in the dark. That alone would be bad judgment."
On Sen. Ted Cruz's rapid return trip from Mexico amid a Texas weather disaster, @AndersonCooper is #KeepingThemHonest.
NEW: @BernieSanders starts wielding his power
With Budget gavel in hand, Sanders is sketching out a staggeringly broad portfolio from taxes to climate and beyond.
His first move: calling in @McDonalds
& @Walmart CEOs next week to answer for worker wages.

Ted Cruz has lied and lied about his trip to Mexico but he’s still showed more contrition for it than he did after he incited a terrorist attack on the US Capitol.
