Under the Trump administration, states and/or cities must certify they will not circumvent “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies"—or risk losing access to disaster relief funds. Trump’s condition will affect $1.9B that is supposed to be distributed by FEMA. trib.al/WVZyrxM
Israel first!
Just f$%king absurd.
So the states/cities are free to tie their spending to policies like BDS but the federal government can't?
Legally questionable and almost certain to be challenged in court.
Trump lebt nach seinen Rechten.
Pedo felon weaponizes everything against everyone.
How many cities and states directly transact with Israeli companies? I am thinking it is most likely happening through investments directly or in funds such as might happen in their pension plans. Usually, they have independent boards. What am I missing?
I'll give you a hint, the first place many politicians go on vacation is Israel...
I found a link showing a fair number of elected officials disclosed acceptance of trips to Israel, but that is not equivalent to a governmental entity refusing to do business with Israeli companies.
Trump is just threatening things that haven't happened yet. I'd imagine this is mainly a threat against new yorks mayor at this point
They don't refuse to do business with them at all. That's the problem. Anti BDS laws actually prevent them from doing business with anyone who protests Israel.
Imagine being blackmailed into being an accomplice to Genocide.

One thing’s clear: Dems face a brutal uphill battle. Fix a broken, corrupt system. Hold the guilty accountable. Lead boldly—not passively. And ditch the tired old guards like Schumer. Real progress demands more than recycled politics. Stop being passive!!
Once again #AmericaLast from #KrasnovAtWork and the #GOP
WTAF?
They don’t get disaster funds anyway! Fake news from the pedophile in Chief.
This is what Trumpers voted for.
What don the con does best - support bullies, criminals, dictators, autocrats, and oligarchs. He may have seen starving people in Gaza on tv but he issues orders that Netanyahu's criminality be supported by all Americans - who he views as his slaves.
Felonious Bastards
The great thing about a free market economy is that you can't really mandate people buy certain products. When a restaurant files for bankruptcy the government doesn't step in and demand people make weekend reservations. Does the city just have to blow its budget on Sabra Hummus? I don't understand
These two criminals belong in jail
Or is it called extortion?
Blackmail
F@ck him. RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES RELEASE THE EPSTEIN FILES
The former United States of America shall from this date be known as Israel's Bitch.
Nice city you have there. It'd be a shame if something happened to it. This government is a protection racket for Israel.
🖕🖕 Trump and Netanyahu.
Just more clear evidence that what Trump says is utter bullshit and that what is happening in Gaza is not just Israel but Israel and America. A shameful cruel country.
Jeden verdammten tag was neues von dem Irren aus den USA , euch läuft die Zeit davon. !
What happened to "States' rights?" oh yeah, we're talking about Trump and his corrupt Republican party.. AKA The Party of Hypocrisy.
Bye bye states’ rights!
Got to keep the money flowing into corrupt pockets😂
It’s obvious he’s not smart enough to introduce these stupid policies. Who’s really calling the shots
I am really curious what Trump is getting out of the support he is giving Israel. He must be getting a lot of $ some how. He doesn't support anyone without getting something in return.
The Israeli Mossad has dirt on Trump like Russia. And US Weapon's Companies are making lots of $$ selling to Israel.
Could be Epstein acted as a honeypot operator & Mossad spy, so they have all sorts of "goods" on Trump, going back decades. Also, Jared's family are BFF with Bibi.
Jared/Trump’s new beach resort in what was formerly called Gaza.
Genau so ist es , an der Küste, die Pläne dürften schon gemacht sein.-
Hitler hatte seinen "Obersalzberg"
He is one sick bastard. He can’t wait for his Gaza golf course to be built. Orange bully
I don’t like it here
So if Trump can withhold federal dollars based on views of a foreign country why can't progressives withhold funds based on gun control or environmental laws?
They could for the latter, not the former (bc then they're attacking a Constitutional right, at least per current SCOTUS jurisprudence). But if they did, the federal government cold retaliate by withholding funds itself.
Trump is now blackmailing States to benefit a foreign government. Another impeachable offense added to the long list when the GOP corruption of Congress ends. Hopefully, in 2026 before elections are ended by him.
@Congressmannion.bsky.social thanks john
no states do this anyway. in fact, most states have anti-bds laws on the books. it's just posturing.
but MBEs are a bridge too far? So no guaranteed contracts for black businesses inside the US, but this? Where is 50 Cent & Killer Mike & Ice Cube... i want a word with them. NOW! Please!
Such bullshit. He’s just making shit up. Again. 🖕🤨🖕
