The Trump administration can block cities and states from receiving Justice Department grants if they fail to help with federal immigration enforcement, a U.S. appeals court in Manhattan ruled, setting up a possible Supreme Court showdown.


Six states including New York and New Jersey sued in 2018 claiming the U.S. was trying to coerce states and cities into enforcing the administration’s immigration policies by illegally threatening to withhold the Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grants, which are often used to buy equipment or pay for police overtime...

This week word is 'beclownment'

Steve Schmidt on Lindsey Graham.....His ludicrous affectation and faux outrage at the hearings was a moment of beclownment that knows no equal. He is a political careerist and an unequaled sycophant when it comes to finding favor with power. He is a disgrace

Trump calls Bloomberg a"total racist"for backing the same stop-and-frisk policy he supported(MSNBC)

*then deleted his tweet* lol

Bloomberg should have tweeted back that he supported this policy and went to Chicago to try to make it national. then he should have said you wanted 5 innocent black men executed.


The stop and frisk were racially based.

* He claims he is not interfering in that, it's a lie. I bet he is in talks with the inspector general at the Defense Department
