For every dollar California pays into federal taxes they received $0.65 back. As opposed to Mitch McConnell's state who for every dollar they get $1.89 back. How about California refuse to stop overpaying to support deadbeat red states and the next time there is a tornado in Kentucky - good luck.

Paid liars

For the conservative mindset EVERYTHING is a potential weapon!

Blame is simple as it's void of accountability. GOV Lee would do well to tend to his own state responsibilities and shortcomings.

Let him.... maybe then he won't get reelected, and people will understand their consequences to their actions

Encourage them to bring to the House floor

Why do so many in Tennessee support this. I can’t understand.

taylorjone.bsky.social•122 days ago

Then California should threaten to withhold their federal taxes. Since they’re the largest state who provides enough tax to cover multiple red states I think this senator should shut the fuck up.

Sen. Hagerty is trying to rip the country apart👍

Typical Republican behavior
Required behavior for megat
the don't understand iron and have no shame
Where are the 10's of M raised on GFM by trump?
Did it just disappear?
And the money for survivors of the (false) assassination attempt?
they had at least $3M undistributed
where did all the money go

Why are these states constantly acting like the civil war is still going on?

skteach.bsky.social•122 days ago

What does he have to do with fire aide to California. STFU! We hate that man so they are going to bully us.

butterflysue.bsky.social•122 days ago

What kills me is that it's always "too soon" to talk about gun control after yet another mass shooting, but they have no problem diving into the political blame game WHILE a disaster is going on and people are dying. Absolutely shameful. What has become of this country?

I look forward to the day when, as per Project 2025, FEMA will be shut down they can all quit whining about a man with no Federal monetary control (Congress is the problem).

bongopirate067.bsky.social•122 days ago

FEMA was on top of everything until MAGA Cult started threatening them and Republicans lying to their Cult.....

leslie64.bsky.social•122 days ago

I think they want to tarnish Gavin Newsome for any future run for national office. Probably hoping to turn a blue state a little less blue as well. Plus they’re just assholes.

pocono.bsky.social•122 days ago

This I want to kick every one of these guys in the nuts that thinks this

tnme.bsky.social•122 days ago

Outrageous!

marbellaswenson.bsky.social•122 days ago

80% of those who plan to use Obamacare in 2025 are in red states. Just keep this up red states.....blue states might be forced to remind you WHO PAYS FOR RED STATES.
BTW, CA feeds you, ALL OF YOU!

mblehrhoff.bsky.social•122 days ago

And Faux News is delighted to spread the lies.
Shocker.

elderreed.bsky.social•121 days ago

California is not even in the top 3 for fema requests Florida leads at about $2.5 billion. Florida, Louisiana and Texas residents have received the lion's share of FEMA direct assistance since 2015, per newly gathered data. California pays more to the feds than they take so they fund these users

Newsom getting wrongly attacked for wildfire responses while Bill Lee gets away with his horrible disaster response.

Silence from democrats who could be louder and push back on this topic allowing this narrative to fester is a fucking mistake.

jeffthebaptist.bsky.social•122 days ago

Sadly I find the Dems only have the strength to point fingers.

therasalghul.bsky.social•122 days ago

Why would they?

After this last election cycle it’s all too apparent Dem leadership is in cahoots.

jeffthebaptist.bsky.social•122 days ago

I’m pretty sure it was congressional republicans with holding aid to NC, Tnn and now California. F those liars

stevestarr.bsky.social•122 days ago

Gotta keep the base happy and weaponize their hatred to make sure I get reelected.

smartmove.bsky.social•122 days ago

I must say this F’er needs to be put on the front lines of a fire.

groku.bsky.social•122 days ago

Cali should withhold all Fed tax money until the lying stops. They bankroll red states and have a 4 trillion Gross State Product - one of the large in the world. Suck it, MAGA.

joeymannarinous.bsky.social•122 days ago

It’s what republicans do. They take your money then ask, “why do you think you get it back when you need it?”
