Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

If we could use nullification for people to get high, why can’t we use it to protect human rights and stop fascism?

As a disabled veteran and spouse of a federal employee, I’m tired of our sacrifice being for nothing. Democrats gutlessly caved without fixing ACA premiums. I demand you call for Schumer’s resignation or resign yourselves!

Since January, Trump's Treasury has quietly gutted enforcement of the corporate alternative minimum tax — a huge boon for big business and wealthy investors.
Meanwhile, he's led an all-out assault on Medicaid, SNAP, and other programs that help the poor.

There are some Democrats who are weak, performative, and have repeatedly shown us that they’re practically GOP-lite. They talk progressive when it’s convenient, but when power and accountability are on the line, they fold every mthrfcking time.

MAGA is anti-American, degrading people who depend on SNAP benefits, including our troops. At Nellis Air Force Base in Las Vegas, service members have been seen standing in long lines for food due to the federal government shutdown, which has disrupted SNAP benefits and delayed military pay.

Every single one of these Democrats are absolutely horrible people who don’t give a shit about Americans. Hard to win when the entire GOP and a significant portion of Democrats supposedly on your side want working Americans to suffer and die, children raped and abused, women tortured….Get WRECKED!

Trump admits it again: the real problem with U.S. health care is for-profit insurance. The ACA originally aimed for single-payer coverage, but Republicans blocked it—choosing to protect insurance profits over giving Americans the care they deserve.

Ok, but let’s just say that TACO actually is a Russian asset (which is likely confirmed by the Epstein files),
isn’t crashing the U.S. economy EXACTLY what he’s supposed to do?
I mean…don’t his actions more clearly demonstrate an intent to harm the United States, than to actually lead it?
