Hochul: "They promised to extract revenge on their political enemies & apparently any state that has a D gov. Tell me how Florida & Texas could receive these same funds w/o having to go to court? They're playing politics, but more than that, they're playing with people's lives. And that's abhorrent"

I can not believe that with the technology available today that there is not multiple wireless microphones available at these press conferences for the reporters so the questions can also be heard. A lot of the time the question is just as important for the constituent to hear as the answer. 👂

I agree with her, but appeals to decency and normal order aren't going anywhere because you're dealing with a fascist junta that only recognizes raw power-plays The proper response is to shut off all utilities to Trump properties then start doing it to all Republican donors in the state Play dirty

This! This is also what Obama should have done, x 1 million, when McConnell told him he wasn’t allowed to fill a SCOTUS seat with a year left in his presidency. Stop bringing wet noodles to gunfight!

you wanted Obama to go against “tradition” I mean, I “thought” the same thing. He should have told McConnell - fuck you. But I, a Black man, have dealt with many a “Mitch” in corporate america and telling them “fuck you” rarely worked out in my favor . But sure , Obama “should have”

Any concerned NYer better do all they can to make sure Elise Stefanik (Stink-on-it) doesn't win gov. Trump's pushing her in order to get control over the state. Don't let people blame Hochul for the clean energy push. A lot of it was planned before her tenure & was approved by republican leaders.

Okay. Announce that no more tax money is going to be sent to DC until this president frees up the funds he’s freezing. See how they like getting along without NY, which is one of the states that sends much more money to DC than it gets back.

Saturday, 10/18, there’s a nationwide protest. If you’re not part of the solution… They want to intimidate us! They want us to be afraid! They want to provoke us into violence! PLZ DON’T GIVE THEM THAT SATISFACTION!!! PROTEST PEACEFULLY! Use link to find your local protest. www.nokings.org#map

nokings.orgNo KingsAs the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Blue states need to stop paying federal tax dollars! Keep that money for ourselves! Fund the programs that trump cuts! Stop giving socialist handouts to red states that cry and whine about socialism! They whine and then extend their hand and need blue states like CA and NY to bail them out!

Trumps ignorant ass doesn't care that many MAGA republicans live in Democrat led states. He is just focused on his petty payback against people who rightfully prosecuted him. for being a criminal. In his past life in New York, he paid lawyers for years to stay out of jail.

Trumps plan(s): 1) instigate sheer destruction and accumulate wealth as we collapse from a seat of imperial power and/or 2/ voters won’t be able to vote him out of office ever anyway so he doesn’t care if constituents of either party don’t end up supporting his project.

They've succeeded from the Union, Republican states are stealing our state's taxes, while our state Republicans won't let us raise state taxes on the wealthy to make up the difference. And Republicans are giving Blue State taxes to the Red States. Leaving us without a Federal Government at all.

This is what fascism looks like. Under King Donald The 1st,"U pay your percentages&U get your piece of the action,cabish?" or"Don,theCon,theTeflonDon.""MoneyTalks,B.S.walks&theRest of usRall running a veryDistant3rd." OR don't U believe in the "Golden Rule:""them that has the gold write the rules."

Donald Trump once said "I have embraced crying mothers who have lost their children because our politicians put their personal agendas before the national good. I have no patience for injustice, no tolerance for government incompetence, no sympathy for leaders who fail their citizens." HYPOCRITE!

Keep calling them out. Funds have been appropriated and they are not receiving them or they sent it to Argentina 🙄How do we send them billions upon billions when all of our states need infrastructure resources. Beyond ridiculous and definitely abhorrent! Some shady 💩going on and it’s Un-American!

Republican states getting the short end of the stick just look at Alaska and the flooding going on right now. Look at Texas and the flooding that was going on there. Where is FEMA? Trump has destroyed almost all departments of the US government if we survive this, they will all need to be rebuilt.

blue states should deduct from the federal tax revenue every dollar that the trump admin denied from blue states but gave to red states. it's that simple. it's either fairly distributed or it's not going to the federal gov. congress approved those funds. no kings here.

Her mistake is trying to APPEASE the Fuhrër, instead of standing against him and preparing for war. Anyone who's not willing to stand against inhumanity and these war crimes against their citizens and immigrants alike, don't deserve to hold any seat of power and steal OUR tax money for their greed.

If you were Putin, what would your ultimate fantasy be? The disunion of the United States. What is Trump doing? Treating blue and red states differently, drawing red states in with the federal government and driving blue states to find alternatives to the federal government. Actively dividing US.

Democrats need to hold their federal funds for states already. They are playing by their own rules, laws don't seem to matter to them. Just do it already.Set up your own state healthcare systems, childcare, housing reform, price gouging laws, and living wages, and give incentives for people to move.

Honestly Cali and NY should find a way to not pay taxes, there has to be a way and if not a way must be invented. Bankrupt the red states and see how long trump remains a cult leader.

Abhorrent and criminal. This time, we need to make sure they face real justice when this is over. Letting them get away with it last time is how we ended up here this time.

The phrase "playing politics" is useless right? It's devoid of real meaning. Just say what you really mean. "They're being hypocritical, selfish, morons, pandering to their billionaire overlords with no regard for your well being. They don't care if you live or die."

77). We need a “Friday Night Massacre”! Every Officer in the armed forces, needs to make a stand. Their oath is to the constitution, not to a tyrant! Putting our son’s & daughters in harm’s way against their own citizens is unconstitutional! Take a stand, show us, your country what you’re made of!

Governor we need protection vs. ICE Terrorism -They are ONLY charged with arresting -with WARRANTS -& deporting illegal immigrants who are convicted of crimes here -ANYTHING they do beyond those bounds is illegal & they should be arrested - we the people can't be fighting ICE off -get a militia on

Selective, Vindictive prosecution (persecution) of DJT's rivals (enemies) is wrong on so many levels! Using the DOJ (or ANY dept.) as his personal department of #Revenge is completely unacceptable! DJT #WorstPresidentEver It's long past time that we #EvictTheFelon #Felon47

All thanks to a compromised, corrupt and complicit SCOTUS. Puppet has soo many scary evil backers… How easy it is when you’re provided a free pass to basically destroy the experiment in a true democracy. Welcome to Fascism. Thanks ALSO to the REPUBLICAN NAZIS PARTY. ALL HEIL PUPPET.
