President TrumpDonald John Trump: Rosenstein to leave MJ next month: Allies are wary of Shanahan's assurances and the imminent presence of Trump states in a lawsuit to block Trump's national emergency statement This controversial emergency statement, which critics say it circumvents Congress, faces additional billions of dollars for building a wall along the southern border.

Two liberal defense groups are suing the administration to block the order. A third trial, launched by a group of 16 states, fell last night.

Trump's executive action mobilized Liberal voters, who rallied across the country over the weekend at events coordinated by Proceed. Hundreds of people gathered Monday in front of the White House to protest the action of the executive.

And congressional Democrats are preparing an aggressive response.

Mike Lillis and Scott wong Report that Democrats in the House are in no hurry to pass a resolution, preferring to let GOP divisions infect (The hill).

But soon, the House will vote on a joint resolution ending Trump's executive action.

This measure will pass easily in the Senate, where the Republicans have a majority of 53 votes to 47. The Democrats will have to gather at least four legislators of the GOP to pass the resolution to the upper house.

This seems likely, given the reaction of some members of the right against what they see as a takeover of power on the part of the executive.

But what then?

White House Councilor Stephen Miller said that if Congress passes the joint resolution to block the action of the executive, the president will veto it. Trump has not used the presidential veto yet, so this could be his first.

That would be the Senate, where a two-thirds majority is required to override the presidential veto.

It is possible, but it seems very unlikely, at least for the moment, which means that the best hope for the Democrats to block the declaration of urgency may well be in the courts.

A vote in the House and Senate with a unified democratic party and some GOP defections could be a determining factor in how the courts decide the case. This kind of vote breakdown would undermine the administration's urgency argument.

The Washington Post: The White House defends Trump's declaration of urgency as obstacles multiply.

FOCUS / SHARP SOCKETS

WHITE HOUSE AND ADMINISTRATION: Trump pleaded for a regime change in Venezuela during a speech last night in Miami, which actually doubled the campaign rally.

The United States recognizes Juan Guaido as interim president of Venezuela. Trump warned Venezuelan soldiers that they risked their lives by continuing to support Nicolas Maduro.

"You will not find any safe harbor, no easy way out and no way out. You will lose everything. " – Asset

The speech also served the president's re-election interests in 2020. Trump made a direct appeal to Latino voters, a key constituency of Florida. And he warned of the dangers of socialism, a message that seems to be at the center of his bid for reelection.

"The twilight of socialism has arrived … Socialism is a sad and discredited ideology, rooted in total ignorance of history and human nature, that is why it must ultimately always engender tyranny, which is the case ". – Asset

Bloomberg: Trump's demands put an end to Maduro's regime in a vast attack on socialism.

Barr inherits from a Justice Department (MJ) caught between two crossfire between Trump and the former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabeAndrew George McCabeRosenstein is expected to leave the Department of Justice next month: according to Harris, Trump would have trusted Putin for his view "the height of irresponsibility and shame" Warren: Public servants have the duty " to invoke the 25th Amendment "they think that Trump is unfit SUITE, each accusing the other of crimes involving senior DOJ officials.

McCabe said in a "60 minutes"Interview that he opened an investigation into the president on the firing of the former director of the FBI James ComeyJames Brien ComeyWarren: Officials have a duty "to invoke the 25th Amendment" if they think Trump is unfit. McCabe: Trump "may have" committed a crime by blocking the investigation of Russia. Trump: "Dishonored" McCabe, Rosenstein seems to want to plan a very illegal act & # 39; MORE, believing that Trump was seeking an end to an investigation into his ties with Russia.

McCabe says the Deputy Attorney General Rod RosensteinRod Jay RosensteinRosenstein is expected to leave the MJ next month: Warren: Officials have the duty to invoke the 25th Amendment when they think Trump is unfit McCabe: Trump "could have" committed a crime by blocking the Survey of Russia NEXTwho oversees the special advocate Robert MuellerRobert Swan MuellerSasse: US should applaud Mueller's choice to lead the investigation on RussiaS probe, was fully on board with the FBI investigation.

McCabe also said that DOJ and FBI officials had discussed the use of the 25^th Amendment to remove the President. He insists that Rosenstein has repeatedly suggested carrying a thread in discussions with Trump.

Rosenstein should leave the GM voluntarily next month.

Trump spent the day of President hitting McCabe and Rosenstein.

SOMEWHERE ELSE

⭆ Entertainment: The weird saga of Jussie Smollett, the "Empire" actor who claims to have been assaulted by Trump supporters because he was black and gay, is evolving rapidly. Police want to interview Smollett after two people with an interest in the case told investigators that they were being paid by the actor to orchestrate the alleged hate crime (CNN). Smollett, who could be prosecuted if his claims turned out to be a hoax, refused to meet with police Monday (CBS 2 Chicago).

After the drama around the boys at Covington High School and their meeting with a Native American protester, many Conservatives express their frustration with the media, which led them to make hasty conclusions after allegations that supporters of the big Trump fan allegedly harassed or attacked minorities, which proved to be false.

Robby Soave: Separating "reality" from "narrative" in the Smollett case.

⭆ Outside: Hunters are sounding the alarm bell about a new disease spreading among deer, elk and moose. The "chronic wasting disease" has been identified in 24 states and can be passed on to humans who consume contaminated meat. The disease is apparently resistant to freezing, heating and cooking meat (NBC News).

⭆ Education: California's top colleges and universities are trying to re-evaluate how they judge cases of sexual misconduct. A series of court decisions concluded that Obama's policies to strengthen the rights of the accusers were unfair to the accused (The Los Angeles Times).

⭆ Amazon: Large technology companies are engaged in reflections after Amazon's violent reaction, which announced the withdrawal of its plans to build a second headquarters in New York (The hill). Critics of the agreement have called Amazon's withdrawal of victory over the welfare of companies. Supporters of the transaction blame the liberalslike Ocasio-Cortez, which cost the city thousands of jobs. Ben Smith from BuzzFeed writes that the nixed agreement is the last example of the liberal base which warned the establishment of its regained power.

Bill of Blasio: Amazon could have responded to the concerns of the citizens but escaped instead.

The New York Daily News: Case cast by politicians who do not understand the economy.

THE CLOSEST

And finally … Remember that US presidents have long cited national emergencies as a justification for action by the executive.

On this day of 1942, the president Franklin Delano Roosevelt promulgated Decree 9066 authorizing the displacement of persons of Japanese origin from designated "military zones" in the United States

The order paved the way for the massive resettlement and incarceration of approximately 120,000 Japanese, more than two-thirds of whom were US citizens.

Those who did not comply with the order to leave their jobs and their homes were arrested. The order also swept over 10,000 people of Italian and German descent.

Read the decree RIGHT HERE.

The Supreme Court then confirmed the order by a margin of 6-3 in a case brought by Fred Korematsu, arrested for failing to report to a detention center. The High Court described the order as "military necessity" and made it clear that it was not based on race. But many consider the order as "the legalization of racism". It has been quoted to date by critics who consider the travel ban and the Trump wall discriminatory against immigrants, rather than by national security imperatives.
