Discussion: CA AG: We Will Sue Trump Over Emergency Declaration 'Definitely And Imminently'

The headline seems to be mixing emergencies. (I sympathize. It can certainly be hard to keep up.)

TPM: You need to fix the lede on the front page for this story. It currently says: “Iran To Europe: Do More To Save The Nuclear Deal!”

Thank you California. So often warming the cockles of my heart (whatever in hell cockles are).

I haven’t seen a story here or many other places about Trump’s evident desire to punish California for its various challenges to his misrule, but I think one harm they could prove is his animus against them over political opposition.

Sorry, could not resist.

Thanks for wasting more taxpayer money GOP. Upholding fiscal conservancy since…

You’ll know Dotard is in deep doo-doo if Texas rightfully pursues similar legal actions.

Seems like it’s Texas where the border resident’s are screaming loudest about the bigly detrimental impacts of an ill-conceived, rushed wall.

Then again, it’s Texas…

Then again, it’s Dotard…

Expect Trump to be making noise soon. The new governor said just last week on local news something about working well with the president, I forget whether it was before or after he pulled nearly all the National Guard from border patrol to deploy for potential real emergencies (fire and flood). Then just a couple of days ago he announced he’s supporting Kamala Harris, someone he’s known and worked with for decades, for president.

Becerra is also a very good, very active Secretary of State and, as you may have seen, he’s brown, so there’s that.

Good. I think the ACLU is, too. They are so damn busy these days.

O behave. The entire border from Houston to El Paso is blue. That ought to tell you and everyone else how Texans who live along the border feel about all of this.

Delightful little tiny clam relatives. Great with pasta and aglia e olio.

Just for clarity, Becerra is Attorney General of California, not the Sec. of State.

Me too. Live Houston but born and raised California.

The term “warm the cockles of one’s heart” dates back to the mid-1600s, a time when scientific texts were often written in Latin. The Latin term cochleae cordis means ventricles of the heart, and most probably, the word cochleae was corrupted as cockles.

I know the border regions are true blue, but it’s the red sinkhole of much of the rest of the state where the GOP is ensconsed that has me doubting the Texas trajectory on figthing the Great Wall of the Rio Grande.
