Stick to bankrupting casinos, not municipalities.
That's not the way it works. Again, it's a political move with midterms not based on any sort of financial or legal reality.

Black history is a core part of American history—you cannot have one without the other.
While we celebrate the contributions and achievements of Black Americans this month, we also have to be clear-eyed about the hard work ahead to truly make our country fair and equal for all.

So they can sue for $10 billion now, right?
Internal Revenue Service improperly shared confidential tax information of thousands of individuals with immigration enforcement officials, according to three people familiar with the situation, appearing to breach a legal fire wall intended to protect taxpayer data.

House and Senate Dems, get this through your thick skulls: you are not to vote for any further funding of ICE. You are to take all steps possible to abolish ICE. This is not a request. We, the people you serve, are giving you a direct order.
Now DO IT!

After nearly 9 decades of tracking presidential approval ratings, Gallup has decided to end their poll measuring following threats from the orange felon after showing his historically low approval ratings.
This is what cowardice and bending the knee to a tyrant looks like.

Show your papers to get on the train, sounds like France in 1941.
I’ve never once shown my ID boarding a train or buying a train ticket.
Markwayne Mullin defends "show me your papers": "If you're here legally, there's nothing to hide. Most people already are walking around with a government-issued ID, meaning your Real ID or your driver's license. If you go board a train here, you gotta show your ID."

Pam Bondi should be immediately impeached and removed not just for her absolutely outrageous behavior today, but also because she's clearly compromised and clearly either being blackmailed or in fear for her life. Or both!!
None of which is compatible for continued employment in her role.

Now is the time to start organizing groups of people who will help ensure that if ICE does surround the polls ALL American citizens who want to can access those polls in the midterms and beyond. Just like during the Civil Rights Era.
