President. Can you image what they would have said if Obama or Biden had cut off federal funds to a Southern state over abortion or transgender issues?

Redistricting could be argued as a personal and not a national agenda. Thus, no immunity.

Certain types of coercion definitely are. Not sure whether this is one of the illegal types. It damn sure SHOULD be though!

Of course though even if it were, the Shady 6 would just declare this an "official action" so he'd be immune from prosecution over it

That's assuming this social media blurb from "Heritage Action" is totally correct as opposed to click-baity

From Google:

"Multiple court rulings have affirmed the constitutional principle that Congress controls federal spending, not the President, by blocking attempts by the Trump administration to unilaterally freeze or reallocate funds."
and

"The U.S. Constitution grants the "power of the purse" exclusively to Congress, meaning the executive branch cannot refuse to spend money that lawmakers have appropriated."
(Both quotes from Google.)

Can’t a future Democratic president do the same to them if for example, they refuse to allow abortion access?

Courtesy of the Republican Party. This is what you do when ya know you are going to lose, fairly and squarely.

are disgraced and shut down for good. And I'm talking about razing the buildings and salting the earth levels of disgrace. They deserve nothing less.

It’s the only way to be sure.

to Indiana Republicans and their families.

Violent threats pile up as Indiana Republicans confront pressure from Trump on redistricting - PBS

Because apparently we now live in a society where Trump and his MAGA HOARDS can engage in extortion, intimidation, THREATS, and TERRORISM without fear of pushback or consequences.

are still making major headway..........

The Republicans have already started their attacks on many states, BY CUTTING FEDERAL FUNDS as punishment....
Just ask us here in Bright Blue Colorado............

Stripping their funding is an impeachable CRIME. The President can't just "strip" funding that has been approved by Congress and signed into law by a President.... no matter what the leopard rants on Lies Social...

might be time to make Indiana blue again

We turned the state blue for Obama in 2008 and we'll do it again.

Goose, meet Gander

The point of regaining power will be to be BETTER at running things than the GOP.

to stop sending money to Trump's regime. Announce that if Trump will use funding as coercion, then Blue states will too. Using Trump's tactics, pass a law that says to the affect of "since federal money is now being used for illegal activities and spending (such as private jets, golf games, family vacations, etc.), we will with hold funding for review to make sure nothing illegal is being done with our states' money The federal government is now required to send us an itemized budget. And any federal money with held from our state will be off set by funds normally send to the federal government."

that individual taxpayers send to the federal government.

Defy him and elect the people who will impeach him.

Sounds like something the Mafia would do.

The voting for the House in the 2024 election saw all but one republican win with over 60% of the vote. The map could easily be drawn to make it a potential 9 to 0 win for the republicans. Trump won the state by 19 points.

If Trump actually followed through on his threat, voter backlash could cost the republicans a seat or two.

I think Josh Shapiro had the right analysis of the last election round that went so heavily Dem. While Dem policy proposals were good, what really got out and won over voters was the simple notion : STOP THE CHAOS !!!!"

Maybe that will wake up those fumducks who are always voting against their own best interests.

Was accomplished when Joe-the-awoke-one was in office? Of course this reality has been conspicuously over-painted by aplenty of cowardly repubs wanting credit well after they voted against the measure!

the NY mob.

I always ask people: Do you want a Mafia Mob Boss
running your life?

dam and ushers in a death spiral for the Maga movement.

......and giving these edicts/proclamations.

How much more illegal and unconstitutional abuse of power will Americans endure from the evil pig smearing ketchup (or is it something else?) all over the Oval Office? Republican filth can only jump the shark so many times before they all become chum. Those with any sense of self-preservation had better get on the right side of this shit show before they auger in with the rest of the soulless sociopaths they laughingly call "colleagues". The final denouement is bearing down on them like an unstoppable pyroclastic flow, and time is running out. The majority of Americans are better than these lowlife MAGAts, and they've had ENOUGH. The GOP will be no more.

The drumpf doctrine

courage to do so.
