This is part of a pattern that is impeachable: Trump cuts previously appropriated Congressional funds, but only to states led by Democrats (California, Colorado, Illinois and Minnesota).
The Trump administration plans to rescind $600 million in public health funds from four states led by Democrats because it finds the grants “inconsistent with agency priorities,” according to documents reviewed by the NYT

Hey everyone.
Hold the ticker-tape and confetti, but 209 this morning so my weight loss journey has met it's destination. In a perfect world I'd like to sit at ~180 but this ain't that. I am more than happy with the 200's, and so far I've lost 85 lbs.
Be good, all my love, they break upon us.

Yes, efforts to actually hold the administration accountable for noncompliance has not yielded the "contempt" fruit that people want. And, I get that.
But that is not the same as there being no cost to noncompliance. They have had to back down repeatedly, and it hurts them in the public's opinion.

It's staggering how this political eunuch has not just done nothing at all as Speaker of the House, but has actually worked to prevent his colleagues from doing anything at all as well.
For all the right's fetishization of "originalism," this is a development that would've made the founders weep

A film that asks, what's it like to lose your mind? What if reality was as thin as parchment, and as fragile?
What if Stephen King was God and everyone hated him?

The far-right hates liberalism in part because liberalism empowered women socially, politically, and economically, and so made them less dependent on settling for a mediocre man to provide for them. So they want to destroy liberalism to return women to a state of powerlessness and dependence.
