One of the key disagreements in a budget deal to reopen the government is whether the president can unilaterally ignore it — and what recompense there will be if he does.
The GOP position is that he should have unlimited ability to ignore the deal, with no consequence.
Wish I were exaggerating!

Honest question: is there any practical reason no rep is working on submitting an impeachment resolution? I'm not talking about political considerations etc. Seems like putting together a case now would be a good start.

If appropriations bills are not seen as enforceable contracts, why should any Member of Congress vote to fund any part of the federal government under Donald Trump? You're voting to provide money for lawlessness. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/there-is-n...
There is no budget "deal" to be made
President Trump has so broken the constitutional framework as to make joint normal, responsible government impossible.

This means it's going to be a meeting about potential economic deals between the US and Russia (and very little about ending the war). This is Putin's plan B since he's correctly reading that the EU allies have already spoiled plan A. But deals are the way to Trump's heart so Putin will take it.
The White House announced that Senators Rubio, Lutnick, Bessent, and Ratcliffe are traveling with President Trump to the Putin summit 🌍🤝.

By the end of June, 23% of all ICE arrests were these arrests on the streets, targeting people with no criminal history or removal orders--90% Latin Americans. As I said at the time, this was a gigantic, open criminal conspiracy against the Constitution

The Wall Street Journal is reporting on a conspiracy by the White House and ICE to violate the Constitution and conduct warrantless, suspicionless "sweeps" of Hispanic areas of the country. This is criminal behavior, and state police need to start investigating these crimes.
