Might be time for those states to stop paying federal taxes pending a thorough review of the administration's systemic violation of the constitution (and many laws).
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

We failed to hold the right-wing oligarchs accountable for the coup on January 6th, Russian interference, the subprime housing crisis, the WMD lie, Iran Contra, Watergate, and the confederacy. Elect people who will.
FIVE YEARS & he has not been held accountable for one of the most disgraceful events in this nation's history.
Trying to overturn a fair election in an attempted coup against his own government is the very definition of TREASON. We can never move forward until this is fully adjudicated. #ShameOnUS🇺🇸

The delusion of a ninth episode airing tomorrow of stranger things is insane. Conformity Gate!
Lordt. How insulting it is to the writers. Never mind. They’re equally delusional that it was a good ending.
I gave up on it after the first season. Also it being based on Montauk is not great, people.

The Venezuela-linked 2020 election conspiracy was one of the most ludicrous, evidence-free pieces of bullshit ever spouted.
But we must assume the dumbest outcomes, so I assume Trump is screaming at his people give Maduro a plea deal in exchange for admitting to rigging the election for Biden.

Compare this to the weeks-long media firestorm and blatant hostility from journalist when Joe Biden ended the war in Afghanistan.
Watching corporate media talk about the new "Trump doctrine" makes me want to vomit. Trump illegally attacked another country and kidnapped their leader. The media should be demanding Trump be impeached and prosecuted by the ICC for war crimes.
