Legal types get all het up by run-of-the-mill art-of-the-deal:

Holy cow! He appears to be engaging in another quid pro quo right before our eyes. I don't know what to say but HOLY COW! NY must drop its lawsuits against him if New Yorkers want Global Entry status? HOLY COW!!! HOLY COW!!! https://t.co/4NPUgc9LNt

i see Shaub is still yelling after a long string of tweets, wondering if anyone hears him.

Holy cow! Are Twitter and the media just going to join the Senate Republicans in shrugging off presidential extortion. Is that the new normal? Members of Congress across the aisle too?? What in the world is going on right now?! ARE YOU KIDDING ME WITH THIS?!!!!! https://t.co/pMaF2YHwuX

Shaub pinned this to the top of his page:

The absolute scariest thing that has happened in the past three years is the media and public not reacting when Trump attempts Ukraine-level quid pro quo extortion in plain sight on Twitter. Before this non-reaction, I was alarmed. I am now scared.

This is not just Trump, it is about his maintained support.

Bi-partisan Bernie tweeted video 5 hrs. ago assuring that everything crucial is just fine:

Today the Senate voted, 55-45, to stop a war with Iran.

The Constitution made sure Congress could vote to block a president from taking our country into needless conflicts.

We cannot allow Trump to send working-class kids to fight and die in another endless war. pic.twitter.com/ffLmiiLheN

(Here's the NYTimes on same, 5:46 pm: In Bipartisan Bid to Restrain Trump, Senate Passes Iran War Powers Resolution; Some Republicans crossed party lines to join Democrats in voting to curtail President Trump’s ability to wage war with Iran, weeks after a drone strike killed a top Iranian general.)

Hillary was already heckling The Donald on Tuesday:

Do you realize intimidating judges is the behavior of failed-state fascists? Just asking! https://t.co/kcEzirsGUF

The NY Atty. Gen. to Trump:

When you stop violating the rights and liberties of all New Yorkers, we will stand down.

Until then, we have a duty and responsibility to defend the Constitution and the rule of law.

BTW, I file the lawsuits, not the Governor. https://t.co/tsOLeEgiQp

P.S. It's a great answer! Especially the nice little jab thrown at Trump lapdog Barr as well: BTW, I file the lawsuits, not the Governor.
