The New York Times - House Votes to Block Trump’s National Emergency Declaration About the Border
Feb. 26, 2019
WASHINGTON — The House voted on Tuesday to overturn President Trump’s declaration of a national emergency on the Mexican border, with just 13 Republicans joining Democrats to try to block his effort to divert funding to a border wall without congressional approval.
House Republican leaders kept defections low after feverishly working to assuage concerns among rank-and-file members about protecting congressional powers and about the precedent that Mr. Trump could be setting for Democratic presidents to use for their own purposes.
The resolution of disapproval, which passed 245 to 182, must now be taken up by the Senate, where three Republicans have already declared their support, only one short of the number needed for Congress to ratify a stinging rebuke of Mr. Trump’s efforts. ...
These numbers are disappointing, but not a surprise. 😕

Harris now states that he has been recovering from a serious illness that led to sepsis and two strokes, and he claims to have "memory problems" (when testifying) - so why was he running for Congress?

Republican congressman appearing to threaten Cohen:
There's always a problem getting to the leaders of crime syndicates like the Trump family organisation - you're reliant on "flipping" lower level associates for evidence, those witnesses are always going to be attacked and evidence from them disputed, as they're proven liars/crooks.
If the veracity of the attacks on Cohen's credibility is an indication, Trump and the GOP must be very worried indeed.

He's deleted the tweet - after about 9 hours. FWIW - this is what he said:
Hey @MichaelCohen212, Do your wife & father-in-law know about your girlfriends? Maybe tonight would be a good time for that chat. I wonder if she'll remain faithful when you're in prison. She's about to learn a lot...
What a time to be alive - when many conservatives - all over the world - are openly behaving like dirty cornered rats.

So he met Kim, big deal. He will change nothing except to validate Kim. I'm not interested in this meeting unlike the other. CNN reporter sums it up nicely
A second sit-down with President Trump gives legitimacy to Kim, CNN's Will Ripley explained.
Ripley — who has visited North Korea 19 times — explained the summit is "a chance for the world to see [Kim] in a different setting than the propaganda we normally see."
He added that Kim's ultimate goal here is likely to get the world comfortable with him and with the idea of him being in possession of a nuclear arsenal.
