Why should other statesncarry the water of a poor states? Isn't that called welfare at our expense? This is bullshit and should be fought at all cost!

That's true. The desire to divide states has always been part of Trump's agenda. Giving one state more rights and services than another doesn't work in a nation that calls itself United.

It’s exactly what Putin wants. I’ll say it again, in 2024, we elected Vladimir Putin, Trump is an empty vessel.

Exactly. They didn't win. Musk helped them steal the election. Rank & file Republicans helped steal the election. The money Musk poured into the swing states buys a lot of votes & people who will help with cheating.

duh tell us something we don't know

This monstrous bill is part of the ongoing coup. The vast majority of Americans hate it. It doesn't have the consent of the governed i.e., a legislative coup!

Won’t the states getting the cuts challenge this!

It is wrong but has been done for centuries of the political sausage making process for bills.

I believe that that's what is called 𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙦𝙪𝙞𝙩𝙮!

republicans are a vile disease and this right here proved it. there isnt a single decent human among them

Exactly 👍

The Parliamentarian rejected a provision that would have boosted federal Medicaid payments for Alaska and 4 other states it was noncompliant with Senate rule. & the Parliamentarian rejected a proposal to provide an enhanced federal matching rate for Medicaid in Alaska & Hawaii. According to Politico

They don’t care. I find it more disgusting that our representatives are seeking for only their state without regard to others just to get reelected. This whole govt needs to be replaced and start over

Alaskan senators, not Washington's, tried to carve out exemption deals.

Uh, it's Alaska. Alaska is getting the exemption.

It's not. The parliamentary struck it down.

A lot of states will take this to the courts, and it'll still be in the courts when the White House has a new Democrat living there.

This was simply a method to punish blue states and leave red states out of it so that they lose no vote.

Bill shouldn’t never separate what states get you either get it or you don’t to make deals like this just to get it past is not right

It is so WILD to me that Maggots literally want to help Billionaires screw themselves and their family members over all because of their mediorce outlook on themselves fueled by their hatred for others. The USA has created some of the most vile people I have ever encountered!

They want that extra $2000 or $3000 in their taxes. They don’t see the writing on the wall that this is gonna hurt them in the long run.

It's no way to legislate - but it's a FANTASTIC way to grift!

Murkowski, queen of “rules for thee but not for me”

It's codification of the right-wing principle that there are two Americas: The America which which bows down in obedience and adulation to Supreme Leader Trump, which deserves all the benefits and munificence, and the America which defies Trump and demands freedom, which deserves to be destroyed.

Basic concept for any decent patriotic lawmaker.

the "president" threatening congress members to 'pass it or else,' is also no way to legislate. this is not at all how it's supposed to work.

If this bill passes, a few states get a shiny FMAP boost but it’s a bribe wrapped in a band-aid. Once it expires, the Medicaid axe falls on everyone. The pain is coming. No state escapes. Murkowski & others selling out the vulnerable? They’ll own the fallout.

We’re all gonna own the fallout. That’s the problem.

You’re right, this fallout will hit everyone. That’s why it’s so dangerous to reward politicians like Murkowski who are knowingly selling out low-income families and the most vulnerable. I’m really sad rn tbh. 😔

The Parliamentary told Murchowski NO on her special ask.

That’s true, the parliamentarian already rejected Murkowski’s orig FMAP request for being too targeted. & now? She struck down the revised version too. They tried to repackage it last night, but it still violated the Byrd Rule. Same bribe, still dead on arrival.

But it is the rudimentary “Art of the Deal” in action. Bullying, grift and favors in exchange for a (assuming virtual) dick sucking.

No taxation without representation! Blue states should hold back their federal taxes.

Pork in the Bill. shiftychevre.com/what-pork-is...

Work with Canada to cut Alaska off from the rest of the U.S.

I thought Murkowsky represents Alaska.

You are correct. Murkowski does represent Alaska.

The pressure comes from satisfying the whim of their Dear Leader.

I would hope that taking that approach would be totally unconstitutional!

They tried that in Tennessee a few years ago, exempting Knox County from school vouchers 1.0, to pay for Jason Zachary’s vote flip.

I don't think you guys have figured it out yet. For them the cruelty is the point.

How about the cuts don’t take place until after the primaries—-another corruption scandal

That know it's harmful, but harming voters isn't the point, so they can except a few here and there

This just a little bit but people in nursing homes will have to pay out of pocket or be out.... Once Medicaid and Medicare cuts are made... People already dieing, I worked in a nursing home many have to be bathed, put in lifts to put them in tubs they can't even walk... Terrible.

How is this even legal? People in the states with cuts will pay taxes to subsidize the healthcare for people in the exempt states!

I already pay for my Medicaid. It's not a lot, but I pay monthly.

Does not seem very 'United'...

Taxation Without Representation? In MY Blue State? It's more likely than you think.

Except WA pays more taxes

Make this bill right for everyone. Or start all over.

if they are so worried they can just move to Washington state .. or die and stop being a problem .. jeez it's not hard

YOU ARE NOT ALONE 🤝 💙

She’s absolutely right. Alaska and Hawaii get to be exempt from Medicaid cuts, but the other 48 states are screwed basically. How is that ethical or even fair? This bill is garbage and republicans knows it.

The Constitution has been nullified, simultaneously nullifying the federal government’s authority to govern. The Union is dissolved. The states should eliminate federal withholding, unless & until a new Constitution/contract is agreed upon. I do not consent to dictatorship. #NQNQ247

Today we mourn the death of our country, America!

I smell lawsuits

States should exempt themselves from the union. Time to pull the plug. The patient is brain dead.

Easier said than done IF they follow the law. That's why they keep going to the SC. Legalized illegality.

Yep. And, rebellion is only illegal in the third person. :-)

………. imagine the joy in Alabama after California exempted itself from the Union. Wait a minute, what happened to Federal transfer funds?

Patty Murray giving Lisa fucken murkowski the bitch slap she deserves !

Mom in Tennis Shoes has had ENUF!!!

why no mention of Alaska?

True that

And shame on Murkowski for being bought out. Couldn’t be more obvious that that’s what it was!

I thought that was unconstitutional? Hell no thats not moral.

liar, liar pants on 🔥🤮

Call Lisa Murkowski's office!!! She voted for the Big Hideous Bill after getting some perks for her state meanwhile screwing the rest of America. (202)-224-6665 www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

I voted for her 😊

GAABS Great again Alligators Bigly Snakes Humans being treated like meat dictator donny Debobblehead DeSantis A concentration camp AMERICA especially YOU are next WAKE-UP Call the WHITEHOUSE ORDER UP A TACO buy a pair of Gold LAME shoes fake money anything useless 202-456-7041 ask donny WTF

When blue states can no longer provide welfare to red states due to the Maga Nazis…the entire economy is going to crash. But hey the rich got richer.

Blue states need to start withholding federal tax funds.

Maybe we need some new countries instead at this point. California Republic, Cascadia, Megasota, etc.

Exactly!!!

We should apply our own state/regional tariffs on the Red states.

We just send all our SNAP recipients to Alaska.

Nice, those of you who sold their souls are safe and the rest of us will suffer 🫤 hood looking out🤬

Truth

@lazytato.bsky.social

Speechless

How are they doing that shite? I swear the entire west coast should secede

Blue states need to stop subsidizing red states via federal taxes. If fed won't provide to states, states can as well to fed.

The irony is, Red States want to use Blue States’ tax revenues to pay ICE/LEO/U.S. Marines to subjugate Blue States. 🤔

That’s why blue states need to stop paying to fed.

Alaska should just realize they are one state. They could run as independents is they voted no and probably be reelected..

Truth.

How about you direct this anger towards that fucking no mind coward Lisa Murkowski!

There are 49 other no-minds to be angry at. She doesn't deserve all of it just for her cowardice. Others went along with this gleefully, and they are SO much worse.

Oh no, she deserves everything she is getting along with the other 49! She's a dirt bag who threw millions of people off of their healthcare to save her own ass! I hope this ruins any career she thought she had....better yet, I hope she rots in hell!

You hit the nail on the head right there. The others were gleeful which is some true believer ugliness, but authentic. She presents herself as an independent, voted for it anyway, then tried to - but my constituents, her way out of responsibility for her vote.

Take United off the States of America bc we are not deserving of that word.

And it's not a done deal in the House. But they have to pass it exactly as written, or the Senate will go through this again...

…….and Alaska.

What does it say about the Senators willing to vote yes so their constituents are exempt, but don't care about other fellow Americans?

It says that they're all selfish and ignorant and cruel.

It says they don't care about anyone but themselves. They don't care about their constituents, just their votes.

Alaska has less than a million people, in the entire state. 😐

💯 they are just interested in keeping their jobs and avoiding Drumpf’s wrath

The July 4th party in D.C. is going to be REVOLUTIONARY! Pass the word.

Because they didn't vote for Trump?

We just keep allowing the corruption.

This is completely because of The Republicans in Congress do not have a conscience. They’re hurting every person in their States and Districts because they are afraid of Trump! So pitiful and disgusting!

Political discrimination

A jab at lisa murkowski 👏👏👏

yeah, the great leader from alaska with only her folks in the life boat. there ought to be a law, and someone to enforce it. preferably not someone wearing a mask.

What, you're going to bring normal values, ethics, morals into it?That's funny. Conservative, Republican voters don't have normal values, ethics, morals - they see no reason to be truthful, honest, fair, just - they just want as much as they can get using any means necessary. Conservative values.

Withhold sending state funds to the Fed.

AGREED Wait until old folks, sick & disabled folks in Alaska find out Murky cut their health care so that whale hunters can hunt a few whales (tribal) & fisherman can catch a few more fish. Those issues could have been worked out at another time. She is a bullshit traitor to Alaskans & the Nation

So Washington State will continue getting SNAP and Medicare…well, color me surprised 1-Wondering how many dems will relocate 2-Wondering how Washington state will support the influx of needy people

I believe Patty Murray voted "No" on the bill. In doing so, she said Washington doesn't deserve advantages over other states.

no - it was Alaska that got the exemptions and screwed over everyone else to get Murkowski's YES vote. Which she now expects the HOUSE to vote down so it goes back to the Senate - such awful politics pitting state against state, red vs blue.

How is this legal?

Just insane. And yet... this is real life.

We're still living in donald's chaotic timeline, where up is down & down is up. Nothing is logical. There's no consequences for his blatant crimes. Where foreign enemies are his friends, & he treats allies as enemies. Where protocols are ignored, he uses tax payer money as his own & the WH to grift.

Then some states shall exempt themselves from contributing to this warped federal government by no longer paying taxes to them.

Right?

Seriously. What would they do? Make us eat at Cracker Barrel?

🤭

How can states vote on bills that they will be exempted from - something that appears to have been offered to Alaska ?

Basic protection racket at this point

We the People GET OUT AND GET LOUD!! When TYRANNY becomes law, REBELLION becomes duty. Thomas Jefferson

I just wanna know how many people the Republicans plan on killing before they say that America is great again

Just face it. The US government doesn’t exist. Anarchy reigns supreme. Vindictiveness and violence will become the norm.

It's straight-up political retaliation against the people who didn't vote for him. The wannabe Monarch is upset because how dare anyone not like him. What an odious human being.

( How often do you get to use odious in a sentence and use it correctly? )

There’s only one way to fix this !!!

Well, it's no way for actual Legislators to legislate. This is how people who should not be anywhere NEAR power legislate, if you even want to call what they are doing legislating. The g.o.p. is a group of thieves intent on robbing the nation blind to give it all to the oligarchs & craporations.

This is blatant vote buying through bribery. They did the same for Alaska as well.

#KeepingItSimple

A sternly worded post in an echo chamber is what the country needs right now. Go get them, Tiger.

Time to SUE FOR DISCRIMINATION. Suspend all federal witholding. Fuck em.

How the hell do they get away with this shit

Cuz we, the people, let them. So Korea recently thwarted an authoritarian attempt to usurp their democracy & in an hour they turned out in droves to physically & politically stop it—maybe bc living people still REMEMBER struggling under repression prior to their recent 1987 transition to democracy…

NO. Because our elected officials are mostly old and useless. These GOP plans have been in place for nearly 2 decades. WTF have DEMS been doing? FUNDRAISING.

Is Mitch still alive or is he just being carried around?

Very funny. Needed that.

Me too.

🎯

Yeah, if you’re a constituent in one of the other 49 states & you notice a Medicaid-cut exception for one State, just to get the Senator’s vote, channel your disgust into calling your Repub Senators & urging them to hold out for an exception. Better, urge them to vote “NO” on the entire horrid bill.

Further fracturing of our United States.

Keep fighting! Yes, on July 1st the Senate passed it's version of the shitty tЯump $ grab for billionaires. They voted to redistribute wealth from working Americans to the top 1%. Email vulnerable House Rs & demand they REJECT the Senate's budget proposal. Don't give up now! bsky.app/profile/jess...

* They want us fearful & demoralized; * They want us horrified at their cruelty; * They want us to forget due process; * They want us to accept their inhumanity; * They want us to believe we are subordinate to them; * They want us exhausted, so rest when you need to and come back stronger. #Resist

Restoring democracy is not a spectator sport. Find a protest near you & PARTICIPATE. Show up & show out! Be loud & remind Republicans (and far too many Democrats) they work for US and we expect them to fight for us/beside us. When the house is on fire, everybody grab a hose! Visit theblop.org

Help bankrupt the Nazi parasite who stole our personal data. Protests EVERY Sat @ Tesla dealerships! PARTICIPATE! Visit teslatakedown.com to find a protest near you. Let's tank Tesla stock and make it as worthless as the unelected drug-addict who bought our presidency and created DOGE! #BankruptMusk

He threatened to primary every single republican who voted for this, he said, “If it’s the last thing I do.”

Yea, he's pretty pissed that buying a presidency didn't work out the way he wanted it to. This is a tantrum by a zillionaire. And while it may work in our favor if he actually *does* what he says and this isn't just tantrum talk. That doesn't make him any less of a Nazi who is in love w $$ & power.

I think it is great to so many people out protesting at these events, but I have to ask - Is it making any difference? From the outside looking it, I would say not. There needs to be a more than one day protests. You need to shut the country down with longer length protests than a one day event.

Yes, it absolutely makes a difference! These are the tools at our disposal for restoring democracy. Yes, a general strike is needed. I agree. As a nation each of us individually may feel powerless, but TOGETHER we actually have more power than they do. This regime is WEAK! We can take them down.

I really hope you are right and it does make a difference. Sending my support from north of the border for your success!

I think that will make the bill illegal

. Republicans are the enemy of America and Americans.

The Senate Parliamentarian nixed this when the GOP tried to exempt Alaska and Hawaii from he Medicaid cuts because it violated the Byrd Rule. Hopefully, she'll be consistent and do that again.

Well, apparently, the Senate Parliamentarian let it happen the second time around.

Maybe if the democrats are ever in power ever again, we start doing to red states what they are doing to us in blue states. Enough already, this is war, and we need to start fighting back.

Was just having this conversation with a friend last night. It’s high time for Dems to retaliate when/if they’re ever in power and I’m talking prosecutions against all of these people who are knowingly and willingly breaking the law. Consequences are needed!

Consequences were needed after January 6th and nothing happened. Thr felon was still allowed to run again.

Because of our milquetoast leadership. We need to start over with the Democratic Party or get the Independents in charge. Writing strongly worded letters does not seem to do any good, does it?

Strongly worded letters are so 1990’s. Our current “leadership” is an absolute joke

The GOP would not push such an unpopular bill if they didn't already know they have job security beyond an election. They aren't going to have one, or they're going to audaciously lie about its results (again). We're now living in Putin's Russia.

Which states are exempt from cuts?

The parliamentarian was clear that the exemptions were against the rules, but when has the GOP ever followed the rules? So I don’t know what the end result of those attempted exemptions were… Anyone else out know whether or not the exemptions for Alaska were contained in the final bill?

the way I heard it, by doing the exemptions like for Alaska should have changed this from a 50-50 reconciliation vote to a 60 vote to pass filibuster, but lindsey graham of all people gets to make the distinction. another perversion of the law. what happened to "protect and defend"?

Just don't pay the federal taxes that help the red states have the benefit. Oregon, Washington, and California need to fight together against this fascist regime!

If the federal gov can withhold money from states, states can withhold money from fed. gov.

Hopefully. But probably not.

Because Democrats always play by the rules. It is good and horrible at the same time.

Yeah, almost time to take the gloves off

YES!

Secession not concession!! West coast unite!!!

Let’s just stay in the most beautiful place on Earth. But leave the USA. We would be so good together as our own country! Or maybe Canada would like to adopt us.

If a man commits crimes against America and a group of people don’t want him to stand trial to see if he’s responsible for his actions. Can they call themselves patriots?

Because they are flat out evil.

Welcome to the FOURTH REICH, thanks for American worshippers who voted a CONVICTED FELON back into the "white house"...

PLUS … Alaska was going to be exempted on such a cheesy basis … being “non-contiguous.” Seriously? Just because Alaska’s border doesn’t touch the lower 48? Well, neither does Hawaii’s …but THEY didn’t get that special exemption. Good lord. If the budget is THAT BAD, just VOTE NO.

Well said

What happened to “Love they neighbor as they self?” Shame on all of them Especially Murkowski for giving the finger to the rest of America

As thy self

Apparently there's a lot of self-loathing going around.

We’re getting to the obvious point. If we’re not a union, then start withholding $

Isn’t there an equal protection case here? How can cuts apply to some states but not to others?

I thought Murkowski’s special deals were nixed by the Parliamentarian.

Some were, others not.

Republicans don’t want to legislate. They want to give everything to the rich and the bell with the rest of us. Don’t forget that.

I'm surprised that they just don't put in the bill that it will only affect democrats and independents who didn't vote for felon47 since they disregard all other aspects of rules and laws. Why not this as well?

Bribery is now a sanctioned part of the political ritual. And so is extortion & threats. Because it's not a government. It's organized crime. And often not "organized" at all. Just crime, corruption, lies, propaganda, and a death knell for democracy. #ProveMeWrong

Why can't constituents of a deprived state sue another state that got (paid off for a yes vote) special exceptions?

Oh, I know....they're a "Dem" state!

Murkowski: I think I deserve it. Screw the rest of you.

This Is Simply The Results Of Endless Trump Extortion.....

#voteno !

This is how they continue their attacks on Blue states.

and later down the line when the effects kick in and he gets blowback he will say to states that their senators should have come and made a deal for a carve out so really the ill effects are someone else fault

Because Washington is a proud blue state! So much for the constitution.....

Let’s take it up a notch. Why do girls and women in 23 states deserve laws protecting their right against forced birth but others don’t? THIS is plain wrong.

Ask the MAGA legislators in places like Texas, GA, Arkansas, Alabama etc. They will tell you that they want national laws to prohibit any protections for women who miscarry or to be given the choice to terminate.

And funded by blue states???!!!

If tRump’s BBB passes all blue states or states not exempted under the bill should withhold their federal taxes.

Big Bad Billionaire Bastards Bill

Legislation of hate!

If you hold out long enough, you can get stuff you need?!

Why do people in Congress deserve it but the people I want my money to go to don't? Able body mfkers shouldn't be living off the welfare of their constituents but here we are. I'm not even trying to blame one side. It's BOTH...

Tell 'em, Patty.

Why can’t the U.S. be Like the EU, where Each state funds itself?

Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 Tell them to #VoteNo on Trump's evil bill. Please Repost

While they’re taking blue state tax dollars to support red state fascism.

Not for much longer...

People in my state and every state are just as important! We need to sue, all of us.

Yeah: that's what y' get for putting a feckless incompetent self-adoring fascist moron in the White House. The bottom is about to fall out of your economy, so we'll shortly be seeing y'all in bread lines. America is no longer a trustworthy trading partner, so it's sayonara from Canada, losers!

Hey senator Lisa. BAD MOVE

And "they" know it.

GOP Senators - Look in a mirror & ask: "What kind of person am I that I'm voting for this awful Bill? I'm BETRAYING my constituents who trusted me. I'm CONDEMNING them to unnecessary SUFFERING & possibly DEATH, all to make the rich richer & please a selfish PSYCHOPATH who will discard me on a whim."

Absolute truth!

Russia used the USA playbook to destabilize America and it couldn't happen to a nicer country. They bribed all the right people for all the wrong reasons. Poors won't starve to death forever, eventually someone will capture them as a tool and they will be willing to die for whoever gives them hope.

It’s mob moss shit

politicalamericans.com/trumps-bb-bi...

Geography within the US will determine if people live or die? We're already playing that fucked up game with women's reproductive rights.

These amoral a-holes are gonna have hell to pay for this BS😡

Go ahead and exempt a state and they will have a massive influx of people moving there. The state resources will be overwhelmed. Have they thought about that.

They don’t believe in equity… DEI is out remember? Who cares if it’s fair if the 1% comes out on top… again… like they always have been?

I agree. Wth

How did this pass the Parliamentarian? Seems illegal and discriminatory??

It didn’t. The parliamentarian kicked those provisions out.

Because the people in Washington realise that their own loved ones, or even themselves, might get that debilitating cancer or Alzheimers or Dementia, or cerebral palsy, or mental illness, when THEY will need the assistance of Medicaid and they pray for medical research to find a cure,

The bill allows the presiden to cancel elections so they dont ever need votes. America is fucked . Youll never get rid of the nazi king who is actively killing Americans

Bill does not allow prez to cancel elections. But america still has a nazi king

Republicans are already cancelling elections in Florida. If they get the legal challenges to that up to the right-wing Supreme Court, it will clear the way for elections to be cancelled forever.

Yup

Nope. We have an occupied White House, but we are working on it.

Actually Lulu, this is inaccurate.

Thank you. I know better. I should have fact checked that. I just assumed what I read was true because hes already said youll never have to vote again. Thank you.

It doesn't please don't spread falsities.

Thank you I corrected myself

You may want to double check that with GROK, he (or she) disagrees.

Maybe grok should look at whats included in the bill

Not just Washington. Though for some reason people love to hate on it.

She didn't like the healthcare and the food assistant the cuts and the big beautiful bill. So Republican did a Exempted her State from the cuts.And she voted yes. That's why I sent it to Alaska.

Tuvok is wise🖖

It's funny because in Eastern Washington the cult members are a dime a dozen. Flags,trucks, and mouth breathing... I guess they should have stayed in Idaho to get pampered by their orange king.

Mouth breathing, lol

I wonder what the people of Alaska think about that🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

Must be loving it. Taco has positive approval rate in Alaska.

I believe the parliamentarian did not allow this

Wrong.

From what I understand, they changed the language to exempt states below a certain population density threshold - so it now encompasses AK and a couple other red states...one of the Dakotas... And therefore it was kosher with the parliamentarian

Dakota! They voted for this shit!! WTF

You have got to be kidding me?!?!

I wish ...

Correct

So Murkowski wanted to throw the rest of the nation under the bus. SHE VOTED YES ON THE BILL WHEN THE PARLIAMENTARIAN TOLD HER NO

Because the sadistic cuts and ridiculous give backs are only distractions so no one notices that the bill makes drumph a king, and obliterates checks and balances on abuse of power.

Because WA is Blue. Just like the Covid aid being withheld.

Republicans= Murder Weapon Killing Democracy and People For Profit and Power!

funny thing about it is that the people who voted for him, in the red states will suffer the most because their legislators did not seek exemptions.

It does develop further the case for Oregon, Washington and California to secede and become Canada’s 11th province. Just sayin

I am no political science major but I would assume the definition of FEDERAL law is that it applies to every state.

Understatement

This horrific “Bill” should of never been Thought up Written up Brought up The Senators should Wake up And then Pick it up Burn it up Or better yet blow it up Cause this is a major fuck up And then they should Get up Round up And then Lock up The screw up Who thought it up

Trump is just looking for a "win" plain and simple.

Sen. Murkowski told a reporter she didn't like the bill and hoped it didn't pass in the House. She voted for it. A real fucking profile in courage right there.

She’s changed her name to Lisa Collins, due to her concerns over the bill, and willingness to do nothing.

Let the Hunger Games begin...

She constantly complains but eventually gives in, as usual lacking integrity.

Not only that but some of those senators gave their states away for free!!!

😡😢🆘

NOT TO WORRY!!! when the dust starts to settle, they will cut those exemptions, too!!!

Donny should have been sent packing long ago..and this SCOTUS is a joke.

I thought this was not allowed per the Parlimentarian?

👍💯💯

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privile...

Doesn't a law that exempts certain states violate the Privileges and Immunities Clause?

Hey Washington State, what makes you so special? So wrong so wrong so wrong. Either cuts are good for everyone or for no one. It is so wrong to make exceptions like this.

Pay attention! It is Alaska getting exemptions, NOT Washington State !!

WTF???

Watch as many move to those states

Do you really believe a general strike will aid in the cause? First off youll loose your job, unions wont back you, secondly most of these companies have their operations abroad, thirdly, if you boycott stores for a day or 3 to "teach them a lesson" they wont care. They have their client base

around the world, and they know Americans will go right back out and overspend when your boycott is over. The US isn't the be-all and end-all of economic trade. Your politicians don't give a shit. The US is insignificant. Unless you fight back with violence, YOU will become insignificant!

Hmm perhaps you should look into people boycotting Tesla or target.

Musk is doing his own damage and target has closed up shop in multiple countries over the last decade, it too is headed the way of K-mart, its been on the decline for years not just recently and certainly not because people are boycotting it.

Yet they keep harping on how many illegals are using it. If I hear or read “able bodied Americans” from them one more time…

And any senator who goes along with an exemption that benefits only their own state isn't fit to represent anyone. One law for ALL.

If her state is exempt she should have been exempt from voting!

Bribery is back and bigger than ever in the GOP.

Can states sue
