10/ It's official - WH and DHS say ICE can use DACA recipients' info to find and deport them:

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump
Congress now has 6 months to legalize DACA (something the Obama Administration was unable to do). If they can't, I will revisit this issue!

So, we must stop DACA because the way it was passed through an EO that circumvented congress was illegal but if congress can't stop DACA in a satisfactory way, Trump will step in with an EO?

Trump: I'll 'revisit' DACA if Congress can't fix in 6 months

I thank you for your diligent round-up, Pain, but that was not a cheering run of posts to wake up to.

So, we must stop DACA because the way it was passed through an EO that circumvented congress was illegal but if congress can't stop DACA in a satisfactory way, Trump will step in with an EO

That's a bit ironic, isn't it...

The decision on DACA sounds very familiar to the leaked document on EU migrants that came out today.

Not going to be a good week is it?

Stay safe!

All this intended deportation of previously legal immigrants...it's not sinister at all.

bad Sorry There's a bit of a dearth of happy political news atm

A very faint silver lining is that there was nothing about nuclear war?

Stay safe Seneca

I'm not going to bother prepping for nuclear war as being next door to Russia we're bound to be obliterated quickly.

Wherabouts are you Pain? I can't remember if you are in the UK, as a busy posting sprint at 3am is no fun if you are here.

I am in the uk but one of the dcs has forgotten how to sleep through the night even though the git isn't a baby or even toddler any more

Can't say the checking of news is necessarily conducive to going back to sleep but it's a flawed coping mechanism

Where are you approximately Seneca? I have a friend close to the Keys. She says that all the local stores are out of water.

Maddow on the subpoenas to the FBI. Its still not entirely clear to me but I think the gist is that they're going after the wrong people and that they're subpoenaing them without having asked them for information before (usually they'd be asking for the it in a voluntary capacity first) but at the same time refusing to subpoena the White House who first refused to hand over the documents when asked for the information and then submitted misleading information.

So no surprises there, I think.

www.nhc.noaa.gov/refresh/graphics_at1+shtml/054806.shtml?cone#contents Irma at the moment looks like it's going to slide into the Gulf of Mexico, grazing the west side of Florida. However, the GFS model has it turning earlier, so there is some uncertainty still. (as there often is)

Jose is expected to become a Hurricane over night tonight, but I don't think it will be as major as Irma due to outflow from Irma effectively choking it. However, depending on the path it takes it could still compound misery.

(that's to others, not Seneca who will be watching the excellent Weather channel I'm sure)

Just looked up how hurricanes are named and found out that hurricanes with female names tend to be deadlier because people underestimate them more than a hurricane with a male name - that's insane! www.euronews.com/2017/09/03/hurricanes-tropical-storm-cycloon-names-harvey

Hopefully this won't need to be used and will just be being cautious but this checklist has been touted as being helpful
