How can someone sue the Trump administration over the Democrats in Congress refusing to stop their temper tantrum? It doesn't make any sense to me.

There are a lot of videos being put out that are similar to this one. This is just one of many examples. I don't think they're talking shit, I think they mean it.
For those of you here who shop in the cities, keep your head on a swivel.
I'm sure most of you already do, but I'm just saying.

There's speculation that Walmart stores are going to be locking their doors on November 1st.
Only allowing employees into the store and only doing curb-side pickup and deliveries.
I can not verify if this is true or not, as some outlets are saying it is true while others are saying it isn't. I searched for an official statement from Walmart and never found one. So, IDK.

According to CNN. The Trump administration is using tariff revenue to fund the WIC Program, which provides benefits to pregnant women, new mothers, and young children.
I was told by the administration that the increased tariff revenue was going to be used to tamp down the national debt.

I checked the Federal web site for qualifications and it said those determinations were made by the individual States....turns out that we qualify for SNAP, and that's just crazy.
Who's schools and where...is that why we passed a 32 Million Dollar School Budget and my Property Taxes went up?
Funding Schools with Gambling looks good, but too much goes to overhead and someone else.

…and your mom only “loses” if she HAS to sell during a low period.
Why not simply eliminate the Filibuster?
I know, I know.
The Democrat Communists would immediately pivot from any joy with ending the shutdown and crow "That's what a King would do!!!"
Can a filibuster be stopped?
AI Overview
Yes, a filibuster can be stopped by invoking cloture, which requires a three-fifths vote (60 out of 100) of the Senate to end the debate. This process is called a cloture motion. There is also a special budget procedure called reconciliation that bypasses the filibuster for certain budget legislation, and the Senate rules can be changed by a simple majority vote to eliminate the filibuster, though this is rare.

Methods to stop a filibuster
- Cloture:
A senator can initiate a cloture motion to end a filibuster. A vote is then held, and if at least 60 senators vote for cloture, the debate is ended, and the Senate moves to a final vote on the matter.
- Budget Reconciliation:
This is a special procedure used for certain budget-related legislation that allows it to pass with a simple majority vote, thus bypassing the filibuster's 60-vote requirement.
- Changing Senate Rules:
The Senate could vote to eliminate the filibuster by changing its own rules, which can be done with a simple majority vote. However, this is a significant procedural change and is not done lightly.
- Unanimous Consent:
In rare cases, a filibuster can be stopped if all senators agree to end the debate through unanimous consent.

One thought is that in the future, when the Democrats regain the majority.
Without the filibuster in place, they will be able to push their leftist agenda forward more easily.
Another thought is when the Democrats regain the majority. They are probably, I dare say most likely, going to get rid of the filibuster anyway. So I think that the Republicans should do it and get the upper hand for now. As I said, the Democrats are probably, most likely, going to nuke the filibuster next time they're in power anyway.

"Senate Majority Leader John Thune angrily objected to a request from Democratic Sen. Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico to pass by unanimous consent his measure to fund SNAP benefits and the Women, Infants and Children program, known as WIC. Any one senator can object to a unanimous consent request."
www.cbsnews.com
"Let me just point out, if I might, that we are 29 days into a Democrat shutdown," Thune said in some of his most heated remarks to date, noting that Democrats have voted against a measure to reopen the government 13 times.
"We have tried to do that 13 times, and you voted no 13 times!" Thune shouted, pointing across the chamber at Lujan. "This isn't a political game. These are real people's lives that we are talking about. And you all have just figured out, 29 days in, oh, that there might be some consequences?"
