How much Elon Musk makes from the government a day: $8 million.
How much a senior on Social Security gets a day: $65
Guess which budget Musk and Trump want to cut?

If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.

Think homelessness is a problem now? Overdoses? Suicides?
Just wait until the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration is gutted.
Trump says addiction is an issue. Used it as his excuse for tariffs on Mexico and Canada. But, let's slash funding for treatment and help.

Tell them:

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.
