I’m adding the Alien Enemies Act and screenshots of my discussion of FDR’s EO 9066 & how Trump may employ the statutory authority of the AEA & SCOTUS cases to assert Martial Law. The original has links to the relevant law+cases.

Executive Orders apply only to the executive branch, but statutory

Eric Swalwell sounds optimistic. I hope he's right. Perhaps MTG is just the first defector with more to come.

"new molecular structures that can trap vast quantities of gas inside, laying the groundwork to potentially suck greenhouse gases out of the atmosphere or harvest moisture from desert environments."

Nobel Prize in chemistry goes to discovery that could trap C02 and bring water to deserts

The Nobel committee said that the three laureates “have developed a new form of molecular architecture.”

Donors to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s PAC have pulled in $1 billion in no-bid state contracts - San Antonio Current

A new study highlights how some of the governor's deep-pocketed donors landed lucrative state contracts during disaster declarations.

The White House Antifa Roundtable is one of the best displays I’ve seen of this-is-how-bad-it’s-gotten — just a sewer of open fascism, dementia, morons and freaks, and incoherent rage.

Hi. I’d like to report a deranged and delusional man in the White House who’s inciting violence and represents a danger to public safety. Can law enforcement please handle this matter?

Stephen Miller accidentally blurted out that Trump had "plenary authority" on TV today.

They're going for full-scale dictatorship.

She’s going to The Hague, with the Secretary of State and the rest of the cabinet…

She a big fan of capital punishment - right up to the point where she faces a charge that carries that penalty.

She should be happy to in The Hague… because the SCOTUS would bring back Andersonville, in Georgia!

The idea that this discussion is just happening now is an idea that originates from the White House and is intended to leave the impression that Team Trump is simply reacting to facts on the ground.

That's a vile lie.

This man and his goons have *always* seen the Insurrection Act as their endgame.

It's so important to nip the framing of this reporting in the bud right now.

Don't accept the narrative that Trump and his team only just started discussing invoking the Insurrection Act. January 6 happened because his White House was in conversation with radicals about what it'd take to invoke it.

Trump administration officials seriously discussing invoking Insurrection Act, sources say

A decision isn't expected to be imminent, one source said, but debate within the administration has shifted recently to more deeply exploring how and when the act might be invoked.
