Reyes: Ok, here's what we do. I think Section 1 of the order is plainly contrary to statute. But don't want to issue order if I don't have to. And now DOJ says that they are working on re-writing Section 1. So, if I don't hear from anyone by 6:30, I'm going to enter a TRO enjoining Section 1..

So we could lose $200B in tourism, $100B in immigrants paying taxes, $100B in weapons manufacturing, $500B in lost tax revenue from firing IRS employees… is it sinking in yet?
International tourism is worth $200 billion every year to the US economy.

I received a heartbreaking email today: A paper in a special issue I’m editing is being retracted because one of its authors is afraid of losing their job and their legal status in the U.S. if they publish a scientific study on evolution. Yes, on evolution, nature's engine of diversity.

Trump wasn’t impeached or punished for the first time he broke the law withholding aid from Ukraine. He’s learned that he can get away with anything
Friday's Oval Office betrayal was to create a pretext for this move. As long as Trump is in office, America will be on Putin's side.

“Once transferred to Ukraine, this money can be used to ensure that the country cannot only recover from the war, but also prevent a repeat of it.” My study urging this $300 billion transfer several years ago has worn well. Action, not talk, is urgently needed now:
