I encourage all of you to vocalize the following: 1. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) 2. The International Court of Arbitration 3. The International Criminal Court (ICC). These courts must be allowed to conduct legitimate work without acts of terrorism by a few lowly state dept imps.

Reflecting pool case v Davey Hearn dismissed with prejudice, meaning can’t be brought again. The just and obvious result, but DOJ had fought for dismissal without prejudice, offering really no argument but Trump had stayed on warpath even after case cratered. I suspect Pirro is relieved at result.

Senator Tillis stated that hopefully one day we can hold the person who tried to stop the peace transfer of power accountable. Obviously the GOP only wants to vilify the ones who have proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

US military spending isn't just DOD. As David Vine writes in @motherjones.com, it is spread across at least 15 other federal agencies, and the total likely exceeds the combined military budgets of every other nation on Earth. These figures are "likely to stun most Americans,” notes one expert.

Think Trump’s $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget request is outrageous? This'll blow your mind.
We already spend at least that much on the US military each year, and maybe a lot more.

Trump now says "If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now ... They'd be wiped off the face of the planet." 🙃
Yes, there were reports after the Houthi attacks that Saudi Arabia wasn't pleased that the U.S. didn't come to its defense. What's your relationship like with the Saudis right now?

Good, good. I've done a lot for Saudi Arabia. I protect Saudi Arabia. If I weren't president, Saudi Arabia wouldn't be here right now. Neither would Israel. They'd be wiped off the face of the planet. I do a lot for Saudi Arabia. My relationship with them is very good. I like the crown prince. My relationship is very good. But remember, if I weren't here, there wouldn't be a Saudi Arabia. There wouldn't be an Israel. There wouldn't be various other countries also.

This will be one of the most important immigration cases in a generation. The Trump admin claims that a 1996 law mandates the detention of millions of people without any right to a bond hearing; every person who entered illegally, no matter how long in the past. If they win, it's a nightmare.
