Congressional Republicans Begin to Look Beyond Trump

The willingness of congressional Republicans to defy Mr. Trump and back legislation requiring the disclosure of federal files on Jeffrey Epstein, the convicted sex offender and one-time Trump friend, was the clearest evidence yet that GOP lawmakers are starting to look beyond Mr. Trump’s tenure to their self-preservation in midterm elections next year.
There are other signs as well, notably the refusal by Senate Republicans to bow to Mr. Trump’s demand to gut the filibuster during the shutdown fight, and resistance in some states to his intense push to redraw House district maps to cement the G.O.P.’s hold and prevent a Democratic takeover that would imperil the president.

———— Whose Idea Was This? ————

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols

The U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify the swastika, an emblem of fascism and white supremacy inextricably linked to the murder of millions of Jews and that more than 400,000 U.S. troops died fighting against in World War II, as a hate symbol.
Instead, the Coast Guard will classify the Nazi-era insignia as ‘potentially divisive’ under its new guidelines.

The Green Machine

Why the Border Patrol–not ICE—is taking over Trump’s mass-deportation campaign…
No president has ever used the Border Patrol this way. But the agency is modeling the kind of aggressive tactics Trump wants, raising the likelihood that the next phase of his crackdown will be more confrontational and violent.

Trump Ordered to Halt Guard Deployment in D.C.

A federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to halt its National Guard deployment to Washington while a lawsuit over the matter plays out in court, siding with D.C.’s Office of the Attorney General and writing that the administration has ‘exceeded the bounds of its statutory authority’ in requesting National Guard assistance from other states.
