"Deploying service members to patrol the streets of our nation’s cities, wasting taxpayer dollars and eroding public trust, is a violation of those principles." pogo.org/testimonies/congres…

"If the government gets in the business of saying ‘We don’t like what you, the media have said, we’re going to ban you from the airwaves if you don’t say what we like,’ that will end up bad for conservatives,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) said

New analysis from @Cato finds the tax bill adds *+$6 trillion* to the debt
Honestly a bit surprising to me how much of Washington’s conservative establishment — Cato, Tax Foundation, AEI, Manhattan Institute — has been strongly & publicly critical of the legislation
.@SenWarren and @SenRickScott on need to end business as usual ethics: “When our highest-ranking gov't officials and military officers treat their positions as steppingstones to personal enrichment, they corrupt the very institution they swore to defend.”warren.senate.gov/newsroom/p…

The last man standing. Michael Horowitz was an excellent Inspector General put in an impossible situation. Now that he’s gone, there’s no one left in the executive branch to hold this the Trump Admin accountable. It’s Congress and the Courts or nothing. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law…
 
This is exactly what Congress doing their job looks like: Voting on a War Powers Resolution. The Congress and NOT the President has the power to initiate an act of war.
To think the Pres of #UVa a university created by Thomas Jefferson, is forced out for his principled stance. This is where a strong Board should have stood behind him and given him the strength to stand firm against this unconstitutional pressure from the White House.
To be clear 90% of all this wouldn't be a problem if CONGRESS DID ITS JOB. Justice Jackson is right. This is an imperial executive embracing an imperial judiciary filling the void left by a feckless Congress.
While this ruling takes no clear position on the constitutionality of the admin's birthright citizenship EO, it's still dangerous.
Limiting ways people can be protected from authoritarianism facilitates the very trampling of the Constitution #SCOTUS has a duty to stop.

A new report from the Project on Government Oversight flags Miller’s investment in Palantir, the DHS contractor behind ICE’s case-tracking system. f-st.co/zh5Mvm9

ICE appears to have rescinded guidance that illegally tried to hamper congressional oversight of detention facilities.
If so, that’s a good thing.
But FPF will continue to pursue our FOIA requests to uncover the information @ICEgov is trying to hide.
