  5. In obvious violation of the #SeparationOfPowers, #Trump says he “probably” plans to bring a lawsuit related to the practice of “blue slips” by which members of the #Senate are able to reject #USattorney appointments.

    He also said he planned to sue #California over its #redistricting plans, which is absolutely admitting that what #Texas did with their congressional map was wrong, & it was done at his request. #ForMeButNotForThee

  10. “But dropping out of school does not allow for work authorization. So there is a quite a gap there.”

    The J-1 allows visa holders to work in pursuit of academic training, but only during one’s studies or following the completion of studies, Cohen pointed out. This also requires being in good academic standing & receiving written approval in advance from the school for the duration & type of academic training.
