No, you can’t do that, airhead. It’s not within your authority and it violates several laws.
Sean Duffy on blue states: "What I can do is I can pull their money. That's the leverage I do have ... I guarantee you that the federal taxpayer is not going to fund their roads and bridges and their systems when they are putting illegals on the roads."

Federal drug and human-trafficking prosecutions are down under Trump — but now is not the time to ease up on the cartels. He should help states like Arizona fight traffickers, not chase maids and landscapers around cities like L.A. and Chicago. My op-ed ⬇️ www.ms.now/opinion/ariz...
Opinion | Arizona attorney general: We're doing our part to fight drugs at the border. But the Trump administration has backed off.
Kris Mayes: My state is at the front lines in a drug crisis. Yet federal efforts to fight drug and human trafficking are declining.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation
Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.

Last week, I heard directly from residents in Benson about the proposed aluminum recycling plant. It was one of the most powerful town halls I’ve held. Benson residents’ passion for their community is clear, and my office will be taking a close look at this.
