  1. Trump doesn’t get that Republicans live in those states, too, or he just doesn’t care and wants to hurt people.

    Well, considering those 5 states pay over 1 trillion in federal taxes per year, I’d say they should just take the 10 billion out of that and use it to fund childcare.

    If Trump is going to target wealthy blue states for funding, they can target the feds right back.

    See how that works out for the red welfare states.

    Remember when the mongos did a civil war to keep slaves? They lost because of money and industry.

    Seems like no one learned a lesson.

    So he’s cutting funding to all blue states due to suspected fraud in just 1… good thing Trump is a uniter. 🙄

  4. I would say something about not punishing the class for one student’s alleged crimes. But I think we all know this is just an excuse for the Trump admin to continue being evil assholes. The mechanics of it are completely irrelevant.

  5. First it was all the states. Now weak pissboy has backed off somewhat, making it explicit that this is a partisan political exercise. Get fucky with the well being of kids, parents and families, and the Republican party will pay dearly in the subsequent elections.

    These framing attempts are signs that he’s trying to ‘win back’ faltering base support. Partisan line drawing about funding child care appeals to tribal impulses of the base, but really poisons the low to mid information independent voter view of the President and by association his party.

  6. Blue states should just stop funding the Federal government until the Trump admin is removed.

    When a President cuts funding, courts generally give them the benefit of the doubt (aka presumption of regularity) that they are doing it for a legitimate policy reason. By explicitly connecting the cuts to the states’ political affiliation he hands over the evidence needed to prove his actions are illegal.

    It’s been reported that Senator Rick Scott of Florida was convicted of Medicare fraud while head of a hospital system. Red state fraud I think.

    So the federal government is demanding receipts and photos to release funding? Sounds less like a fraud prevention and more like ‘we’re gonna make this as painful as possible’

  10. Blue states still have poor maga voters.

    Go ahead, make em suffer as well then.

    What a douche.

  11. why punish all because of one, without substantial evidence of fraud in the blue states? this is an extreme politically motivated move

  12. If it weren’t for the “blue” states, there would be no funds to give to the “red” ones.

  13. California and other blue states that pay more into the Federal government than they receive in benefits need to cut ties with the federal government. Fight back. Do something. We have sped run past civil War and heading towards WW3 yet Dems are standing on the side like it’s business as usual. Do something!

    More evidence he has abandoned his oath of office. Add this to the list of impeachable offenses.

    >”It’s not clear whether the freeze was inspired by specific fraud allegations or solely for political reasons.”

    Y’all already know the answer

  16. I can’t think of anything that will reach those in power better than a real, widespread general strike.
