Eric Trump canceled an interview with the attorney general in July, and the Trump Organization said it would not comply with seven subpoenas that it was sent.

"In Printz v. United States (1997), Justice Scalia wrote that the federal government “cannot require states and localities to carry out its immigration policy.”"
The worst lawyer in America is mad that GOP senators told the truth for once.
When Kash Patel turns the FBI into Trump’s revenge squad, that’s not justice, it’s authoritarianism. Today it’s John Bolton. Tomorrow it could be any other critic who dares defy Trump. The Bureau’s credibility is being gutted from within. This is intimidation, not law enforcement. Every American should be alarmed.
Is there any other explanation? You don’t have to like or respect John Bolton to know what it was.
#JBPritzker said in a statement Saturday night after this story was published that the state of #Illinois had received “no requests or outreach from the #FederalGovernment asking if we need assistance, & we have made no requests for federal intervention.”
He added that there is “no emergency that warrants the President of the United States federalizing the Illinois #NationalGuard, deploying the National Guard from other states, or sending active duty #military within our own borders.”

#Illinois Gov #JBPritzker & #Chicago Mayor #BrandonJohnson, both #Democrats, hit back at #Trump in comments Friday….
“After using #LosAngeles & #WashingtonDC as his testing ground for #authoritarian #overreach, Trump is now openly flirting with the idea of taking over other #states & #cities. Trump’s goal is to incite fear in our communities & destabilize existing public safety efforts—all to create a justification to further abuse his power,” Pritzker said.
I lost my Mom to pancreatic cancer when I was 19. She was only 47.
My grandmother also died from it at 53.
When Mom was diagnosed, she sat me down and said she knew exactly what I was feeling because she felt the same way when her Mom was dying.
She said she hated knowing that her girls were going to grow up without a mom.
She wasn’t afraid of dying, but she was afraid of leaving us behind.
She was sad that she would miss major milestones like graduations, marriage, grandchildren etc.
She wanted more time.
Unfortunately pancreatic cancer is quick and lethal.
It’s almost always caught too late, and few people live more than a year after diagnosis.
My Mom made it nine months.
I’m forever grateful for the time we had together and the fact that she prepared me for her passing. But I wanted more
The mRNA pancreatic cancer vaccine was a beacon of hope for my family.
It was hope for so many whose lives have been touched by this deadly disease. Who’ve lost loved ones.
Who live with the fear of being diagnosed themselves.
There’s no words for the rage I feel when I think about RFK Jr’s decision to cut funding for this life saving research.
His anti-vaxx grift has already killed and disabled many people. Measles is back. Covid is still here and still killing.
Now he’s basically siding with cancer.
We deserve better than this.
We deserve an HHS leader who actually believes in science.
We deserve leaders who promote life saving interventions, robust public health and cutting edge research.
Shame on him and everyone who supports him.
Aww. #RIP Jerry Adler.

Under the law you basically can't exist without money. In cities you can't loiter or sleep in parks. In the bush you can't permanently camp on crown land. So if society won't allow you to exist without money and it believes you have the right to exist, society should give you a basic amount of money to exist.
