House Republicans vote to defund DC police
Congress could force D.C. to cut $1.1 billion out of its local budget, which could lead to cuts in services and layoffs.
Basically, house Republicans voted to defund DC police because even though it's not federal money, they fact that that have the power to pass laws affecting DC means that they can claim these as "cuts". Again, defunding the DC police doesn't help the federal government save a dime. But it's technically a budget cut, just not the budget cut they're supposed to working on. Yes, it's that silly.

Isn't it surreal to imagine this administration not ratfucking elections? Isn't it hard to imagine them ever ceding power peacefully? The legal challenges can and should occur, but they're not going to save us in the end I fear.

As a wise (???) man once said: The courts have made their decision, now let them enforce it.
Legal challenges will not be enough.
