I say without any irony or sarcasm: yes, thank you, we want parliamentary sabotage.
Again, I'm 100% serious. It's one of the few things a minority party can do, and which Republicans themselves did. It's essential.

They wanted to pass this evil budget to take away healthcare from millions earlier today. It’s still stuck in the rules committee cause House Dems introduced over 500 amendments and we are lined up to debate on them. Delaying is important. Keep up the pressure on these Congressional Republicans.

VERY IMPORTANT to label this as what it is, The Police State Executive Order. it's not an exaggeration. This is the inner wiring of a police state.
The first and most important thing to know about last night's Exec order is that it's intended to break current law and allow people throughout the federal gov look at yr tax returns. Beyond that it's intended to compel states to turn over all their data to the fed govt.

Something special is happening, folks. Now is the time to organize in every dimension possible and get to work.

The DOJ is arguing, on behalf of the President, that the President can scoop up anyone, put them on an airplane, and then no laws apply because no court has jurisdiction.
Whether the person is a citizen wouldn't change that because there's no point they could even tell a court they're a citizen.

Wow. DOJ is arguing that the President has authority outside the Alien Enemies Act in international waters "that would not be subject to either orders."
Boasberg seems skeptical, asking if the president's foreign power exists only once the plane crosses into international airspace?
