So is it really a WEEK that we've been in a National Emergency?

What happens now?

Are there court filings? Has Congress made any big plays? Did the Caravan @ the Border kill everyone in their path??

So what the fuck is going on?

I don't have cable and really only watch Rachel on youtube, so I guess I am kinda out of the loop. I knew the states were filing, just didn't know how quickly those things move. Thank goodness Madame Speaker is on it!
