“We are mere days away from a partial government shutdown on March 1. Unless Republicans get serious, the extreme Republican shutdown will endanger our economy, raise costs, lower safety, and exact untold pain on the American people,” Schumer wrote in a letter to lawmakers on Sunday.

I really don’t think the average person realizes that all of these close calls also are a giant waste of government resources as government employees are forced to spend time preparing for a shutdown. Yes, the shutdowns are worse as services are curtailed (and you end up paying the employees when it reopens for time they were furloughed) but even getting close is an absurd waste of tax dollars too.

🤦🏻‍♀️ #Trump’s lawyers have filed several motions to dismiss the classified #documents case in #Florida, citing, among other things, presidential immunity and arguing special counsel #JackSmith was unlawfully appointed. #legal

Generally, I’d guess they are trash with no chance of success, but in that case, I’d only be half right.

@GottaLaff @bronakins

Not necessarily. The decision is by the DC Circuit. If SCOTUS denies the stay and denies cert, that doesn’t necessarily mean an endorsement of the DC Circuit decision.

So the DC Circuit decision would be persuasive, but not binding, because Cannon is in the 11th. She’s not required to follow decisions of the DC Circuit, just decisions of the SCOTUS and the 11th.

@GottaLaff

That’s assuming they took the case on the merits, which I’m suggesting is not the likely way for them to rule against him with a very good DC Circuit opinion. IMHO it is the more likely is for them to deny his stay request and deny certiorari. If the Eleventh loses its mind in the Florida case (assuming Cannon rules quickly) and conflicts with the DC Circuit, then they’d have to get their hands dirty.

Question: Judge Engoron says that he wants this $350 million within 30 days. Does Donald have that kind of money sitting around?

: I mean, he does. Of course he has money. You know, he’s a billionaire. Um, we know that

Kind of awkward. He has it and he has to pony up. He doesn’t and he’s screwing his whole brand.

“ is expected to be in attendance Monday in when Judge Aileen presides over a hearing in his classified case in which attorneys will address issues surrounding the classified materials in question.

For a guy who complained incessantly that his legal troubles would interfere with his ability to campaign, he sure seems to be spending a lot of time in the courtroom voluntarily. If only there were some reason why he felt his presence could be impactful to the judge in some way… 🤔

Republicans are unfit. Period.

Via Jon Favreau:

I won't vote for foreign aid without border security legislation but I voted against border security because we don't need border security legislation but I won't vote for foreign aid without border security legislation but...

Acyn:

After Republicans tanked the border security bill, Tim Scott says he voted against a stand-alone bill for Israel/Ukraine aid because: We should first secure our southern border.

@GottaLaff @lednabwm Their constituents don’t require them to be fit or consistent. They only care about power and wins through losses of others, including the nation’s security.

@lednabwm @GottaLaff

I just think that Trump taught them they don’t need to be consistent or care about what a majority want to make policy that appeals to most people to win. They can be about power for the sake of power and their media ecosystem will take care of the rest, because they want them to have power for the sake of power as well.
