The states rights crowd, wants to attack cities.

jsbooth.bsky.social•174 days ago

I’d like to see the states/cities retaliate by withholding funds that go towards the federal government if they try to push this. For example, California is underrepresented in the House and in national elections while also contributing more than it receives from the federal government. So bring it.

California has the fifth largest economy in the world. If the federal government refuses funding, there's no reason to pay those federal taxes.

Chicago should just keep the money it would send to the Federal government to support the red state. Ale up the difference that way. So, too, other Blue states.

Sure, but that was before we had a Fascist King and his bff oligarchy running the government

delaminated.bsky.social•174 days ago

OK, but the first step of attempting to defend a law or norm is remembering that it exists.

holladayhouse.bsky.social•174 days ago

Haha . Then they should stop giving them money, which supports the red states..

And a swarm of city inspectors will enter the Trump building and call it inhabitable. #TheChicagoWay

Take over all the maga billionaire properties

Trump team, while standing awkwardly in a barn, cautiously avoiding walking around more than the photograph opportunity demands,to keep the animal feces away from their loafers,….

Notice how my Mayor Adams’s name isn’t mentioned …. He’s a wannabe trumper and will easily fill for them

mkwilson27.bsky.social•174 days ago

Doesn’t Congress appropriate funding?

earachemyeye.bsky.social•174 days ago

They will wind up in court, and they will lose. They can't just withhold funds. Also, when funds are conditioned on something, the item they are conditioned upon must be relevant to the funding.

The. Executive. Branch. Doesn't. Control. Money.

Next farmers will be begging Trump not to deport migrants.
Oh! Wait I do believe they already are.

wendyc122.bsky.social•174 days ago

And we can pull our taxes.

Party of small government

frankneuville.bsky.social•174 days ago

Do I still have to pay federal taxes if my federal funding is pulled?

goddesswon.bsky.social•174 days ago

Just with hold all Federal Tax payment.
Muster the NG.

Wait till Cali says fkoff

pjeanne97.bsky.social•174 days ago

Funny, they’re gonna avoid Florida where use of undocumented workers is rampant?

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•174 days ago

Ultimately I won’t be shocked if they push blue states out of the union by EO. Yea, they are that nuts. But would ensure maga dominance for decades to come. It’s a strategic goal of the Russian Federation as well.

nadinbrzezinski.bsky.social•174 days ago

Trump don’t work for the US after all.

ladiaz.bsky.social•174 days ago

what if +$ contributor states just kept their money after jan 20 instead of sending it to the feds?

kenl2002.bsky.social•174 days ago

Blue states that subsidize the economy should withhold sending their federal tax revenue to DC if they decide to pull that shit.

zlattydottie.bsky.social•174 days ago

Did anyone remind them to keep Chicago out of their mouth?
