Dictator Trump chastised female governor for endorsing a fellow Democrat. What did he say to himself when he shoves his favorite guys forward? But he uses taxpayer funds to reward his and withholds same for hers. Putz.
slammed ? A serious political publication uses the word slammed referencing the Republican Presidents comments . Is this real life ? Are y’all in high school
Withholding govt funds to punish a political endorsement is one of the most open and shut first amendment violations possible
This SCOTUS majority will bend over backwards to declare it legal though.
You think? This is a pretty clear cut case
So was Dobbs yet abortion is illegal in a lot of places now.
Dobbs was clear cut in the sense that it directly overturned precedent, but the right to abortion is never stated directly in the constitution, while the right to speech is, so from the point of view of the text of the constitution this is much more clear cut than Dobbs 1/2
This court does not respect precedent, but I remain skeptical that they would so blatantly go against the text of the constitution, although they have made some odd rulings
Time will tell. I wouldn’t be too optimistic. They can bend the Constitution to their will. Only members of judiciary that get to make up the law. They can just misinterpret some old cases to declare it’s merely a fiscal decision not covered under 1A.
Yeah, they go "hurr it's illegal, just impeach him", like that is an actual solution.
Trump continues to be divisive. Congress and Senate are complicit in encouraging his destructive behaviors by not pushing back. This the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA not a GOP only club.
Traitor Tot needs to STFU! #BelieveTheVictims#ReleaseTrumpEpsteinFiles
Anyone who does something trump doesn’t like will get punished by him.
The Constitution grants the President no unilateral authority to withhold funds from obligation.” Page 2 The Impoundment Control Act, enacted in 1974, also makes plain that presidents cannot temporarily or permanently withhold enacted funding www.appropriations.senate.gov/imo/media/do...
When you're a King, with a handpicked justice system, you can do anything. Including grabbing Hochul by the pussy.
He needs an exorcist.
Trying to control an election with threats is exactly why our nation is sinking into the abyss. This type of behavior should never be accepted, yet the media reports as if it’s normal.
Any other president would be impeached in half a second flat.
Paul Ryan and Nancy Pelosi decided that Congressional Oversight is no longer a thing. They just refused to do it. So for over 8 years shocking misconduct has been running rampant in the Executive Branch.
Who cares about #conmanTrump and the #republiCoNs #vote them all out !
Democrats endorse democrats. Republicans endorse republicans. That’s just how it is. Why is this hard for him to understand
Fuck him. New Yorkers have known about Trump for over 40 years. They collectively hate him. Show us the Epstein files! This isn't going away!
Stop covering every little thing this moldering fascist shitbag says. We know what he said without hearing him say it.
Withhold the money. NY is a red state donor anyway. They’ll be fine and will have more money for their own programs.
I think Trump should hold lots more public rallies to show he’s not afraid of white male 2nd Amendment enthusiasts. Isn’t that his base?
Democracy is good for New York city and all other states in these United States of America! Hochul and Mamdani will be good for New Yorkers!
In case we were on the fence as to whether this administration supports the White Christian Nationalist movement.....
This asshole is getting more ridiculous every day. And that is dangerous for our country.
That’s all Trump knows, extortion and retribution. But as bullys go when fat hits the fire the true TACO shows.
Wow that sounds perfectly legit. Why didn't Obama think of it . . .
the #KKK #orange #blackmail #extortion #POTUS of #America who got elected by frauding the #elections of 2024 #midterms
Perhaps donor states need to stop collecting federal taxes.
I'm pretty sure the fed collects taxes directly from individuals and businesses. The states are not involved. Someone can correct me if my assertion is incorrect.
Perhaps they can direct companies not to automatically take out of paychecks...
Scared yet fascist Trump,?!?!?
The illegality continues. 🤬🤬🤬
If only this demented madman had ever read the Constitution. Boggles the mind.
🤡 hates NYC diversity.
🤡 upset that other grabbed the headlines.
That’s illegal but you seemed to miss that point in your click bait headline
Yes, we were also shocked it took her so long. She got there in the end. Now about the rest of the NY elected officials...
Reminiscent of a kid not doing their chores and having their allowance threatened. All of his threats and crazy actions are diversions from his growing Epstein problem. Sign the discharge bill, get the files and expose Trump for the pedophile he is/was.
New Yorkers should refuse to pay federal taxes
He will just have the IRS freeze those individuals bank accounts. And or, also garnish wages.
That means she’s right in endorsing him!
Perhaps New York should get ahead of the game and withhold tax funds from Washington.
You’re all still talking ‘first amendment,’ ‘courts,’ etc., like it matters! Lol Wake TF up people! They don’t give a rat’s ass! Fascism is upon you! You better develop a contingency plan, and fast! You’re still hoping a broken system saves you. You’ll be in the clank soon enough!
Banana Republic.
He personally needs to send a lot of money to NY for losing a lawsuit
Impeach the pedophile
Elected fascist rapist threatens to do more illegal shit if an actually decent individual is elected to become the next mayor of New York. Nation: shocked 🙄😒
What a fucking baby
He will talk about anything and do anything possible to not talk about his pedo friend Epstein. #EPSTEIN
Don't they get sick of that bullying behaviour ?
That bullying behavior is one of the reasons Hochul endorsed Mamdani, if you read her NYT essay.
Also see this: bsky.app/profile/jcco...
He Ai r gonna do shit. Just ignore him
If Trump is against something support that because it’s obvious it’s the right thing
They’re so scared of him, lol.

The sad thing is that it took her so long to give it. She should have been out there the week he was certified the nominee.
Changing my mind on political violence.
What a dumbass, just another legal battle the loser in chief will LOSE!
Blatantly illegal. If a Dem did this to a red state you'd never hear the end of it.
He should worry more about his disastrous policies that are driving the country into the ground and tearing it apart. So much winning!
Acting like a thuggish mobster.
They are so scared of progressive’s popular policies.
He's a king...thanks scotus!
Trump is such a bitch.
🤣
and a quick google will tell you that New York contributes the most to annual federal revenue at 8% of total revenue.
ITS FUCKING AMERICA !! In case anyone has forgotten we Have the right to endorse and more importantly to VOTE for who we Choose. He is so petty to threaten To withhold Federal funds. Hochul Is doing what is her privilege.
