Chief Justice Roberts:

"...The reasons that justify the President’s absolute immunity from criminal prosecution for acts within the scope of his exclusive constitutional authority do not extend to conduct in areas where his authority is shared with Congress..."

Congress is sharing its authority.

Trump is lying his ass off - every single word that escapes his mouth is a lie, or a truth twisted into a lie for reasons of DECEPTION.

This isn't the same kind of shutdown as any of the government shutdowns that came before this one.

Government shut down to stop Republicans from ripping a trillion dollars out of Medicare and Medicaid and Affordable Care. Nothing comes even remotely close to this for previous shutdowns.

This is Reverend David Black, minister of the First Presbyterian Church in Chicago. He was shot seven times in the head with chemical pellets by ICE agents as he was kneeling to pray at a protest.

RETWEET if you stand with Reverend Black against the Trump Administration!

Trump thought he was DMing Bondi:

"Pam:
...Nothing is being done. What about Comey, Adam “Shifty” Schiff, Leticia???...We can’t delay any longer, it’s killing our reputation and credibility. They impeached me twice, and indicted me (5 times!)...JUSTICE MUST BE SERVED, NOW!!! President DJT"

White House and DHS cancelling a $11b payment in disaster-relief funds meant to reimburse states that have already had to bear the brunt of recovery — from NC to TX.

It becomes an IOU for next year, reducing FEMA's already diminished $26.5b by nearly half. We'll have only $15.5b until Sept. 2026.
FEMA canceled $11B in disaster payments to states
The unannounced move came after President Donald Trump threatened to reduce FEMA aid, jarring emergency management professionals.

Congress giving Trump their power and permission to use it literally means:

'conduct in areas where his authority is shared with Congress'.

Neither Trump nor Congress have immunity if they are conspiring against Americans.

Renewable energy exceeds global coal power generation for the first time ever, analysis finds
Energy think tank Ember says a slight drop in global fossil fuel power marks "a turning point," as the U.S. and Europe lag behind by China and India in investment.
