27. So many useful and evil ways to leverage that
Tue Feb 4, 2025, 02:48 PM
Tuesday

Blue states refuse to cooperate with ICE? Cut off social security payments to that state’s citizens until the governor capitulates.

School district persists in teaching equality? Cut off their federal funds.

And yes, match voter rolls with federal payouts and extort compliance from Dems.

It’s definitely why Musk went straight to the heart of our govt with his evil little shitbros getting into all the code last weekend
