Right now, Trump could pardon people for federal crimes but they could still be charged by a state.
Climate update – 9/25/18
Climate change is the defining issue of our time – and we are at a defining moment. If we do not change course by 2020, we could miss our chance to avoid the disastrous consequences of runaway climate change. The time for ambitious #ClimateAction is now. https://t.co/Ad19hj3zsD pic.twitter.com/VykZtbYDUi

Increasing heat is a classic example of a chronic climate impact—slow moving, with the most extreme effects in the future—but the effect on regional economies today is too great to be ignored. https://t.co/fmsTtOLc5R

Trump treated the UN like his rallies
No wonder they laughed – they know what he says is frequently nonsense and lies.

Kavanaugh vote scheduled for Friday
The Republicans just want to push the nomination through. This shows they don’t take the Thursday hearings seriously.

The other possibility is that McConnell doesn't know he has the votes but he's betting that nobody will have the guts to vote No on Kavanaugh when put on the spot. That's an incredible way to run a caucus, using the rankest parts of the base as the whip operation

There are huge risks to the GOP in both rushing to confirm Kavanaugh and in letting the process play out for several more weeks.
Encouraging Kavanaugh to withdraw now, however painful it might be, is probably their least-worst option. https://t.co/IzgU7ZT9Ul

80,000 votes in 3 states put Trump in the White House. Now a meticulous analysis of online activity during the campaign makes a powerful case that cyberattacks by Russian hackers and trolls were decisive: https://t.co/5v1s6pCuYv pic.twitter.com/1XJkmckku6

What happens to the Mueller investigation if Rosenstein is fired or resigns?
If Rod Rosenstein leaves, don’t expect Congress to step in to protect the Russia probe

If @realDonaldTrump is ready to force out Rod Rosenstein, how much longer until he goes after Special Counsel Mueller? Every resignation and firing brings us one step closer to a constitutional crisis. Congress must immediately pass the bipartisan bill to protect Mueller.
— Elizabeth Warren (@SenWarren) September 24, 2018
Under no circumstances should Rod Rosenstein resign. This would place the Mueller investigation in even greater jeopardy. Rosenstein should continue to do his job, protect the independence of the DOJ, and if the President intends to obstruct justice, force Trump to fire him.

The reason they don’t want to bring the Mueller bill to the Senate floor is they know it would pass and they are afraid of the President. Seriously.
— Brian Schatz (@brianschatz) September 25, 2018
There's a possibility that the Mueller report will never make it to Congress. That’s exactly why @realDonaldTrump wants to fire both Rosenstein and Sessions. And why we need to pass bipartisan legislation to #ProtectMueller. Deliver full transparency and justice! pic.twitter.com/SsaUz2hcoI

Bottom line – If @realDonaldTrump fires Rod Rosenstein for the purpose of protecting himself from the Mueller investigation, that would represent high crimes and misdemeanors.

The White House won’t guarantee that Mueller’s investigation will continue if Rod Rosenstein leaves the Justice Department. If Trump forces Rosenstein’s exit to halt Mueller, that’s obstruction of justice.https://t.co/ml37CgYLlK
