The Economist: Donald Trump wants states and cities to do as they are told
Huntington Beach, California, led by Republican Mayor Pat Burns, is asserting local control over immigration by suing the state to avoid complying with laws limiting cooperation with federal authorities. The city has declared itself a "nonsanctuary city," reflecting a pushback against what they view as state overreach.
This stance aligns with a broader trend where local governments are taking immigration matters into their own hands, often in defiance of state policies. The mayor and city attorney argue that their actions represent a fight for local autonomy against a "tyrannical" state government.

Phillips pointed out that Musk's popularity and significant platform on X allow him to gain public support for DOGE, while Democrats struggle to effectively counter his actions. He expressed concern that the party's current strategy is ineffective and urged a more proactive approach to maintain credibility in addressing constitutional issues.
