House sends Trump border aid bill after Pelosi caves to pressure from moderates BY JULIEGRACE BRUFKE - 06/27/19 05:29 PM EDT
The Hill > https://thehill.com/homenews/h...ves-to-pressure-from ========================================== "The House passed a clean version of a bipartisan Senate bill that would address the crisis at the southern border, dealing a major blow to House Democratic leadership.
The 305-102 vote marked a blow to Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and liberal lawmakers who had demanded additional protections for migrant children.
President Trump is expected to sign the $4.6 billion measure into law." ========================================
Wow! Did it just snow in Hades?
Is Congress actually getting something (one thing, at least) done????? A Bipartisan Bill???

Supreme Court agrees to hear DACA cases BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 06/28/19 09:34 AM EDT
The Hill > https://thehill.com/latino/450...-cases?userid=392361 ============================ ........."The justices had previously declined to take up the administration's challenge to a district court ruling that temporarily blocked officials from winding down the program.
But Friday's order puts the Supreme Court back at the heart of yet another controversial Trump policy move.
The justices ordered that three cases on DACA be consolidated into one case, allowing one hour for arguments.
The eventual ruling in the case could come in late June or early July 2020, just months before Election Day."

Twitter to tag, but not remove, world leaders' tweets that break its rules BY EMILY BIRNBAUM - 06/27/19 12:31 PM EDT
You better watch out Mr.President; Twitter is going to grade your tweets....
============================================ Oh, please give me a break Twitter twits.
"Twitter on Thursday announced it will soon start tagging, but not removing, tweets from world leaders that violate the platform's rules.
In a blog post, the company said it will place disclaimers on tweets from top government officials or high-profile candidates when they violate any of Twitter's rules, but will not remove the posts when they are in the "public interest." ........ more...

Another win !!
The Senate on Friday, after a record-breaking 10-hour vote, failed to approve a resolution that would require President Trump to get congressional approval before ordering a military intervention in Iran.
The vote, which was not expected to pass, came after political unease over the White House's tough talk against Iran.
The vote was the longest in the chamber’s history. The Senate closed its vote on the measure at 3:10 p.m. ET, which was 10 hours and 8 minutes after starting the vote. The old record for the length of a Senate vote was set on Dec. 21, 2018 at five hours and 20 minutes.
The plan needed 60 votes. But the final tally was 50-40. Sen. Michael Bennet, D-Colo., who participated in Thursday night’s Democratic presidential debate, voted at 3:10 p.m. in favor of the Iran amendment. Moments later, the vote was closed, and the Senate was quickly gaveled out of session.
The effort will continue on the other side of Congress: The House is expected to take up the issue next month.
Lawmakers have argued Trump cannot continue relying on the nearly two-decade-old war authorizations Congress approved in the aftermath of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.
Democratic Sen. Tom Udall of New Mexico, an author of the measure, says he's not alone in raising concern about Trump's "ping-pong diplomacy" and "go it alone posture."
"This reckless diplomacy is dangerously reminiscent of the run up to the war with Iraq," he said on the Senate floor Thursday.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell called it nothing more than another example of "Trump Derangement Syndrome," which he explained as whatever the president's for "they seem to be against."
McConnell said putting restrictions on the White House would "hamstring" the president's ability to respond militarily at a time of escalating tension between the U.S. and Iran.

While I absolutely DO NOT want a commander in chief to commit hundreds of thousands of troops to a conflict without Congress, the President is the commander in chief and should be free to protect the nation militarily without congress (such as when we are attacked and a swift but proportioned response is called for).

If this represented anything other than TDS the Dems could have dealt with it when Obama was elected and they controlled house and senate. And of course Obama (Nobel peace prize recipient) used his power to actually go to war with Libya, not just posture. So far Trump isn't really as aggressive as the peace prize recipient.
