AG Bondi on mayors and governors in blue states: “If they don’t comply with us…We’re going to…cut off their federal funding. We are going to send in law enforcement…just like we’re doing here in Washington, D.C.”

Blue states should hold the federal funds & that would cut the DoJ’s funding. Especially California.

Good luck with that, Pam. Other cities in sovereign states are not like DC. And you know it. That's why you are intimidating the country by displaying federal power in DC. Knock it off. youtu.be/Be6mp9vgM2w

California sends $806 BILLION a year in federal taxes. Imagine if we kept that to ourselves!!! Homeless housed. Affordable housing built. High speed rail built. LA water capture project finished. Windmills, solar, offshore hydro built. Universities, hospitals, schools funded.

The ‘federal funding’ is money paid by blue states.

The only way Trump can cheat is not allow votes to be counted and people not to be able to vote. He's the largest fraud USA has ever seen. He didn't win by fair elections last year. Over 2 million voters maga had removed from voter rolls in swing states alone.

Trump is repeating Kremlin talking points and doesn't even know that Russia uses mail-in ballots and online voting. And how will the military be voting Donald? 🤔
