According to a recently published study, over 27 billion dollars in federal grants and direct payments are awarded to sanctuary cities, although that figure probably doesn’t take into account the recent designations of the Borough of Prospect Park and Cincinnati as such.

Tonight’s headliners can be loosely classified under the rubric of the Surrender Caucus.
