Asked what was next, #TomHoman said: "Another flight, another flight every day."

"We're not stopping. I don't care what the judges think," he added.

With the #Republican-controlled #Congress largely backing his agenda, federal judges have often been the only constraint on #Trump, putting many actions hold while they consider their legality. In several cases, the admin has refused to comply w/judicial orders.

The flights suggest the #Trump admin may be growing more brazen in its defiance of judicial restraint. The #US #Constitution established the #judiciary as a co-#equal & #independent branch of government.

Trump has sought to *push* [illegally expand] the boundaries of #ExecutivePower since taking office in Jan, cutting spending authorized by #Congress, dismantling #FederalAgencies & firing tens of thousands of #FederalWorkers.

An effort to call a convention to amend the Constitution is focused on the national debt but could open the door to other changes — including making it legal for Trump to run for a third term.

@touaregtweet Been going back & forth with Brian Schatz about the CR vote, this is his latest explainer. I also asked about the upcoming debt ceiling crisis, but no comment on that yet. Highlights are mine.
He may have a point, I don’t understand all the nuances involved.

This is the highlighted portion of the text. "If we entered a shutdown, the Executive Branch would continue to function under the Anti-Deficiency Act, a 19th century law that prohibits federal agencies from spending or obligating funds without funding from Congress.  However, the law also would have provided the administration with authority to determine which federal agencies and workers were essential, which agencies would be shuttered, and which workers would be furloughed.  This could have provided an excuse for President Trump, Elon Musk, and Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought to fire all of those furloughed federal workers, and never restart many important federal services that we rely on. In addition, a shutdown would have significantly hurt our ability to push back against the illegal actions by Trump and Musk.  The flexibility they would have under the Anti-Deficiency Act would make it more difficult for Congress to stop their efforts to dismantle the federal government during the course of the shutdown.  Importantly, in a government shutdown, action through the courts would significantly slow as courts deplete their funding and are forced to make difficult staffing decisions.  And after a time, the courts would have to close.  Without the checks from the judicial and legislative branches, this administration would increasingly run wild throughout the government, all with no guarantee of a better congressional spending bill in the end."

"Instead, he’s reducing the value of everyone’s life savings. And now, just in these last two weeks, the mood is changing. Independents are starting to peel away. It’s only a matter of time before a firm majority of Americans wrap their heads around reality—and maybe not much time, at that.

"The MAGA propaganda network insisted last year that Trump was a master of economic policy, even though he kept telling us the precise ways in which he was going to wreck the economy. It got just enough people to believe that he would magically reduce the price of everything on the shelves."
