Blue states need to enact escrow accounts for our tax money. It needs to happen and remain until the adults are back in power.
Trump denied disaster aid to thousands of Chicago residents even though his administration documented extraordinary damage from two major storms this summer, records obtained by POLITICO’s E&E News show.
Trump refused to send disaster aid to Chicago after 2 devastating storms
The destruction caused by the summer storms was enough that past presidents likely would have approved requests for federal assistance, former FEMA officials said.

Not shocking, honestly. I knew a couple of people who, back in 2016, told me that they would either vote for Bernie or Trump.

Tiered utility rates need to happen. Lowest rates of consumption get the cheapest rate. Highest users pay the highest rates. Especially businesses.

We are all subsidizing rich people who are trying to destroy our country and planet.

This needs to happen. Immediately.

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.

Not just prison. I hope I live to see the day when these assholes are tried in The Hague, similar to Nuremberg and meet the business end of a firing squad.
