Thank you! Two of my family members are on the list.

I imagine someone must have researched this, as I have a vague memory of Maine’s governor saying the state would withhold taxes if Trump cut off funding to the state for refusing to comply with an illegal executive order. (And agreed; Medicaid is big on that list too)

The state collects a lot of federal taxes from state employees. What would happen if the state clawed back SNAP funds via refusal to pay federal taxes? It’s a bad idea if the feds could go after the employees, but if it’s the state that’s another story.

How scary. Being an elected official shouldn’t mean being subjected to violence (does that really need to be said?!). I’m grateful that you’re safe, and sad and angry that this happened to you.

Meanwhile, we will be filing a brief in the Ninth Circuit later today urging the court to hold an en banc hearing on the motion to stay our first TRO.

This means that, for now, National Guard troops still cannot be deployed in Oregon.

Immergut's second order, given from the bench, will prohibit the relocation or deployment of any federalized national guard to Oregon.

Let’s not help their narrative by focusing on small pockets of law breaking. The FEDS are in the wrong here.

They tested this out in Portland in 2020, and the national media blamed Portland rather than the feds. Let’s not let that happen again.
