But again: These only "work" by intimidation. The AG CANNOT do anything unless the targeted programs are "unconstitutional, preempted by Fed law, or unenforceable."
So it's up to the states and locals to either comply proactively out of fear, or stand up and tell Bondi to take a hike.

They literally want to screw the futures of every child on this planet.
Today's US EO orders the Attorney General to identify + take expeditious action to stop enforcement of "all State & local laws... purporting to address “climate change” or involving “environmental, social, and governance” initiatives, “environmental justice,” carbon or “greenhouse gas” emissions."
This executive order confirms that. They are attacking all "state laws" that address climate change, ESG, environmental justice and/or greenhouse gases.

Add it to the list—now Trump wants to eliminate FEMA? Texas has faced hurricanes, wildfires, and deadly winter storms. Since addressing climate change isn’t a priority for them, it’s only going to get worse. We’re one of the most impacted states. This isn’t just reckless—it’s dangerous.

Trump is 'not joking' about third term, though Constitution says he can't serve
In remarks to NBC News, Trump also said "there are methods which you could do it." Trump would need either a two-thirds vote in Congress or a constitutional convention to serve a third term.

NORTH KOREA PLAYING A VITAL ROLE IN RUSSIA’S WAR
Kim in the North is supplying around 50% of Russian shells and an increasing amount of artillery - although the quality and accuracy of each are far from ideal.
It’s estimated as many as 20,000 NK troops may now be fielded in Russia too.

The difference is nobody wants to lend 💰 to Russia in deficit but they are willing to lend to western governments while they’re in deficit.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.
