This whole presidency has been nothing but “f**k you, I do what I want” and everyone just stands around twiddling their thumbs

Legal fight! Legal Fight! Yes, please!

So much for states' rights.

Newsom has already announced it

When will they ever be held accountable??

You see Democrats! That’s how it’s done.

BUT, Muh STATE's RIGHTS!!!

They truly think the law doesn’t apply to them.

Um states rights???

So they want California to have the same shitty air standards as their states, which depend on us for FEMA and other federal aid. Got it.

🤬🤬🤬🖕🏻🖕🏻🖕🏻

They aren't paying attention to anyone. Supreme Court Appellate Court Parliamentarian Pope No body but Trump

A Lie can travel around the World before the Truth can get out of bed and put its pants on. Republicans are doing the same - committing illegal and unconstitutional acts, knowing the judiciary moves exceedingly slow, But Trump will ignore the judiciary and has begun to do so.

But if people have to pay more taxes to their states less to the federal government, maybe they would realize that they need to fucking vote Republicans out.

Fight like hell.

The latter.

I hope so!

Not if this bill is passed because... www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

I hope so, and tell them assholes in Washington DC keep your nasty oil rigs off of our beautiful coast

Sad.

I saw that the day they released the bill, someone caught it and posted it right away.

Yep. I always thought the entire "Left Wing Media" thing was laughable, there is no Left Wing Media, never has been. Half everyone on MSNBC is or was a Republican and everything else is Reigh or Center Reich. Even CNN has took a turn to lying and is why several have left there.

I think they get majority-within-geography rule. But how do we get into that geography to break the Learned From Limbaugh majority?

California, then, has no duty to adhere to an illegal revocation of its right to set standards.

If we want to be able to have legal fights, you might want to SCREAM at your senators to vote AGAINST the treasonous BBB!!! BECAUSE... www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

Came here to say that. They are working hard to make abortion nationwide, because you know, it wasn’t about states right.

“ Return power to the states” , another lie !!!! Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a nomination for “post of the night “ !!! Bravo, I salute you sir 👏🏽👏🏿👏🏾👏🏼👏🏻👍🏾 ( Criminal behavior from a criminal categories)

MAGA - in Congress, in the White House and federal government, and in the country t large - is a fascist movement that has no interest in living in any rule of law nation unless they make all then rules

Expected.

Why does it seem like the federal government is working for the Fossil Fuel Industry? Because it is. notnotter.org/the-game

another case of a lawless regime 💯

This is what Republicans do - ignore laws. Dems try to play by the rules. Time to change. Dems must push everywhere from lawsuits to legislation to get things done

Seeing how I have 100% control over the vehicles that park in my employees parking lot, only electric vehicle will be allowed to park inside the parking lot. Don't like it, I don't give a fuck. And nobody will change that policy. It's private property and no fossil fueled vehicles are allowed!

California should just ignore it, what are the Republicans gonna do? Are car manufacturers really going to start making dirtier cars again and alienate millions of Californian (and other) consumers?

Oh boy....someone needs to keep up with E ERY illegal and immoral thing these Republicans are doing. Every little line item in that bill too. And BROADCAST it all over the world. Daily. Maybe the far right will realize what they actually got for selling their soul.

So much for States Rights.. wasn't that what their old argument for everything?

Big oil strikes again, spineless GOP

States rights!

So much for those “state’s rights”.

😡😡

I was told this couldn't happen. Do you mean Chuck Schumer lied to me?

But, states rights, right?

Well if California can’t set vehicle standards- how can PA? Guess there goes yearly inspections and those emissions standards.

Something, something something, reserved for the states.... Where are all the, "the United States isn't a Democracy, it's a Constitutional Republic" people, now? #MAGA just want to live under a dictator.

The state should follow the same path and ignore their bs as well and continue on. Eye for an eye.

🤮 This government is so gross. All they want is to make Americans sick, stupid, and desperate.

Hey senate … 🖕🏼

Sounds like this is ripe for a court challenge. And the parliamentarian's ruling will be prime evidence it was illegal. (Plus there are Tenth Amendment issues)

Honey, you said it! It's high time they traded the show pony for some real horsepower.💅🚜 Actions speak louder than media buzz, darling! 📺🐝 #SashayAwayStunts 💋

Well, honey, they might be playing fast and loose with the rules, but they can't dodge a good judicial side-eye. Get ready for some courtroom drama, darlings! 💅🏼👠🍿🏛️

Their brazen disregard for the law is UNBELIEVABLE.

Man I just cant wait until democrats are back in charge and they better nit be planning on playing fair anymore, they need to start doing alot of the things republicans have no problems with doing and just let them get mad and talk or take them to court

@marcelias.bsky.social is on it

The republicans in the US senate are Not above the law.

More lawsuits for the GOP to lose

I think 'expect a legal fight' should be the given with this admin. They are like bears in a campground: they won't stop till we stop them. Public outcry and legal fights are the most effective weapons so far.

I was told that this was impossible...

This is just more Republican and conservative lawlessness. Democrats are held strictly to the letter or spirit of the law, whichever causes the most trouble for conservatives. Republicans just do it, and dare you to sue them, then claim you're acting unconstitutionally when you file. Bunch of liars.

Nothing is illegal when there is no law

There are corporations who support this. They need to be identified and boycotted. These corporations put their profits above public health they need to pay an economic price .

What happened to states' rights?

So the corrupt MAGA Party is fine dumping massive costs on states - natural disasters, healthcare, education - but then see fit to take away a state’s right to govern.

Time for some good trouble.

GOP only like rules when they are the minority or when they own the system… Might get a harsh letter from Schumer on this matter!!!

California should frankly quit the US - the GOP states need California more than California needs the lazy, racist grafters.

State's rights, state's rights, state's rights. Oh, wait, not those rights...

www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

I was pleased and surprised to see only about 10% of the replies there blaming Dems. We seriously need a better class of troll around here.

hahaha… so what? Rules and laws don’t apply anymore.

GET OUT OF CALIFORNIA! We don't want you, and we sure as hell don't need you.

That's about right! 🙄

The USA is going to eat itself up in legal fees at this rate.

Great waste of tax payer money, they hate us cuz they ain’t us

US is a complete joke where Rs do whatever they want, whenever they want.

There's going to be a legal fight and the Republicans will lose.

www.newsweek.com/hidden-provi...

Maybe it's time for a blue state union that bans both parties.

So...while TFFG & his toadies ignore writs of Habeas Corpus and courts demanding due process... California can ignore mouth noises and continue to enforce state vehicle standards. If you can't sell or license a dirty car, Federal rules are irrelevant.

Glad to see Republicans giving up the filibuster. Now they won't be able to blame Democrats.

Rules?! We don’t need no stinkin’ rules!

New York should do the same. After California, I believe NY is one of the largest funders of red states.

Good Luck with that.

States rights……

I'm starting to think AG Bondi gets a referral fee or commission to mess around in the courts. The Republicans are criminally out of control.

What happened to the GOP position on states rights!

If a court issues an order and nobody implements or obeys it, does it make a difference?

So environmental standards are based on race? Are all decisions race based? Not political, financial, or scientific data? In this case my money would be politically motivated as the main driver.

Destroying California is #1 on his list

State rights to control its own destiny

Awesome, now we can gun it to 88 on Mulholland drive without a flux capacitor! We're already headed backwards in time..

Oh, Rob Bonta does not fool around. Expect a knock down, drag out fight that he will win.

Repugs in Congress are Killing everyone on purpose! Starve our children?!? WTH America? Speak up

LITIGATE EVERYTHING! LITERALLY LITIGATE EVERYTHING!

This current version of Congress is beholden NOT to the people but to one greedy man: Donnie Von Shitzinpants !!!

Every day, a new battle.🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏾 He seems energized by battling while normal people are exhausted by it.

They don't care if what they do is legal. That's why they have Pam Blondi and 500 million worth of pro bono hours.

Bye bye clean air, hello smog invested air and an increase of pollution and breathing issues.

…so how’s that whole “states’ rights” thing working out?

Regardless of what I think of 'EV mandates,' never mind 'banning gas cars' etc, this is of course more destruction of the Constitution and state-capture by the far-right and oligarchs. (On the EVs, I say horses for courses. They practically sell themselves now for whom they work well.)

It’s all a filibuster workaround. Just dump the filibuster already.

Hold on a second now. Not THE Parliamentarian. The same one that just couldn’t allow a national $15 min wage. We were told she had the ultimate authority on such matters.

Republicans breaking the law as usual

Sounds like it's illegal and everyone can just ignore the Senator.

Their main goal is to keep us poor so we become the slaves!!
