>On Friday, McConnell found that the Trump administration disregarded the court order, with at least 19 states, all of whom with Democratic attorneys general, presenting “undisputed evidence” that they were not receiving FEMA funds already appropriated by Congress.
Completely shocking.
Lock them up! The courts need to use contempt against these people. Put them in jail until they comply.
Selectively withholding FEMA funds of Blue states because of policy disagreements. **Literally, he’s willing to have Americans killed who disagree with him.**
Remember when Biden held funding from red states because they didn’t agree with him.
……oh wait that didn’t happen
Remember when they accused Biden of this?
Hey MAGA voters, how hard does your king need to screw up the country before you stop supporting him?
If you answer is to dodge that question with some whataboutism, that means you’re in a cult.
You can’t have a compact between two organisations if only one follows the rules. If the US government isn’t playing fair, then there should be no requirement that Maine does. Maybe Trump should apologise and work to avoid that in the future. That would be the best option.
If the US government isn’t willing to help blue states like Maine, maybe Canada would.
Lock him up.

Both articles are from 2024.
I feel like I remember him saying he would do this… Anyway! Nobody is shocked.
I’m not surprised. Remember when they did the same thing with PPE during the pandemic?
When does it all add up to enough to throw Trump and his mob in jail?
So what happens when citizens of the blue states like NYS and California who are bankrolling the red welfare states stop sending tax money to DC?
Treasonous
Of course they were. Imagine the most petty, vindictive bullshit possible and that’s what you can count on Trump doing.
The administration is attempting to exert complete control over spending to punish enemies, reward allies, and line their own pockets? Well, that’s not even remotely novel.
Though the escalating level of “brazen” and “cruel” really does make it seem like they’re just trying to provoke civil unrest.
Time to shut off all FEMA funds if only Red States get it. Blue States need to protect other Blue States by offering direct aid.
Trump should be impeached.
It’s time to take the president out of the White House and pursue the most expedient trial
Start arresting people
This country needs a portmanteau of all the government scandals in the past two hundred years to describe the trump administration
What’s covert about it? He openly withheld disaster funding from blue states the last time he was in office.
I just keep telling myself that someday, somehow, Trump & his supporters will be punished for what they have done.
Blue states should stop paying all the fucking bills for these red states and watch them squirm
And the MAGAs won’t care because they think Biden was doing it to them 🙄 absolute clowns.
What is it going to take for this sack of shit to get impeached for a third time?
Barely even matters because JD Vance isn’t much better and gigantic piece of shit himself
How is this not reason enough to impeach him? When will someone with some fucking balls say something or arrest him? If anyone else in America was doing this shit they would already be in handcuffs where the fuck are the people who will stand up against this shit?
hmm, maybe blue states should stop sending tax revenues to the federal government
Why the FUCK are those of us in the blue states SUBSIDIZING this criminal administration and the red state cult members, exactly!?
Yet again… doing exactly what they accused Biden of. Every accusation is a confession with these people.
