Schiff: "If a president in secret can put names on a list and kill them, then there is no war power still retained by Congress, and there's no check on an executive who may drag us into another war."

Schiff: "You begin to wonder -- do they believe they have the authority by putting some groups on a list, even domestic groups, to use lethal force against them, with no trial, no due process, no nothing? The reality is we can't rule that out."

Jeffries to Lawler: "You're a complete and total embarrassment. You're embarrassing yourself and your district right now. And you're going down to defeat next year."

Jeffries: "The streets are hot right now on Capitol Hill because the Republicans are just falling apart. They cannot justify their position having shut the government down. They cannot justify their position in terms of hiding the Epstein files from the American people."

Even apart from the rank lawlessness of a reprisal prosecution, this has to be about the lousiest case I've ever seen. If it gets to trial, US will get its head handed to it.

Prosecutors Warned Main Comey Witness Would Doom Entire Case

There’s a reason federal prosecutors didn’t want this indictment to happen.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

Trump: "I don't know what could be worse than Portland. You don't even have stores anymore. They don't even put glass up. They put plywood on their windows."

Trump to a right-wing influencer: "Do you know the name of any of the funders? Because if you do, I'd like you to give them to Kash or Pam or Kristi as soon as you can. That's all of you. These are people that do not have good intentions for the country. That's treasonous, probably."

I can’t believe I have to say this, but historically, masked men who kidnap families in the middle of the night are usually not the good guys.

Jeffries: This is the second time it's been shut down under Donald Trump, and he's nowhere to be found. He's got time to be on the golf course, but apparently doesn't have time to sit down with Democrats to reopen the government.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."

Pritzker: "I think it's important to recognize that the Trump administration does not seem to respect any laws in the United States. They just do what they want to do and they'll keep doing it unless someone stops them. Here in Illinois we're stopping them."
