Last week, a federal judge blocked the administration's latest effort to withhold funding from 16 jurisdictions, including San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis, St. Paul and New Haven.

"Here we are again," wrote U.S. District Judge William Orrick in San Francisco, who found that the Trump administration's actions were likely unconstitutional and granted a preliminary injunction.

"The threat to withhold funding causes them irreparable injury in the form of budgetary uncertainty, deprivation of constitutional rights, and undermining trust between the Cities and Counties and the communities they serve," Orrick wrote.

And the Republicans did nothing.

They send US citizens and immigrants to death camps with no due process.

And the Republicans in charge of all of government did nothing.

They dismantled and poisoned all of our citizen protections and social programs.

And the Republicans in charge of all of government did nothing and cheered them on.

They started jailing our judges and blocking our journalists.

And the Republicans in charge of all of government did nothing and cheered them on while doing the media circuit.

Etc., etc., etc., etc., et-fucking-cetra.
