Must be nice for the states to ignore federal laws and at the same time take in federal money. WAY MORE then they pay in.
Biden should revoke federal dollars to any state that refuses to follow federal laws.
For being so red, you’d think they’d try not to be welfare queens huh?
That’s exactly what the “teeth” of federal regulations are. They can suspend anything from highway funding to tax breaks. “You want to go it alone? We’ll help it happen.”
No, Biden should send in the military and arrest politicians for treason for not following federal laws and encouraging and enabling others to not follow those laws.
And thus deliver the election to Republicans on a silver platter.
So we should go back to weed and shrooms being straight up illegal countrywide then?
You think people in California aren’t being arrested by the feds for weed?
Not that I agree with the person you’re responding to but this is unheard of so long as you’re simply possessing or growing it, and not doing so in amounts that would be considered intent to distribute. At which point the state government would get you first anyway because it’s ultimately their taxes.
The last Californian in prison for federal marijuana charges was released in 2023. I can’t even find an article referencing any federal arrests in California, or any data, that weren’t giant illegal grow ops or smuggling of ridiculous amounts of weed. The feds don’t give a shit and probably want it legalized so they can deal with shit that actually matters. After all 54% of Americans live in recreationally legal states, and 74% in medically legal states.
You can also just mail order hemp-derived delta 8 if you’re really concerned because that’s legal at the federal level.
Ladies and Gentlemen, the “party of law and order”
“Rules for thee and none for me” the Republican party…
Louisiana tells trans students to make shit tons of money in lawsuits.

Most these states are welfare states even without Natural disasters. If the federal government decided to stop giving out money most red states would be broke in a day

They should just ask their God to save them. Since they are so confident it exists and they know it’s will
Don’t let that stop them from voting no on federal disaster aid for other states at the very next fucking opportunity. Absolute trash.
Just a quick reminder that the Democratic governor of LA term-limited out recently, and the batshit MAGAt morons are positively crapping themselves to enact the most fucked up laws they can possibly cram into one legislative session.
This isn’t an outlier, LA has been 100% befucked by republiQans. Being solid red isn’t new, but not having any decent reasonability or counter is relatively new. These fuckers aren’t just racist and cruel, they’re utter fucking morons.
[t]he new rules likely conflict with the state’s…
Great, because it’s already settled law who wins that battle.
With a sane supreme court yes. But youre forgetting that we dont have that right now.
Louisiana politicians are good at ignoring things. Like bad hygiene and incest with their siblings.
These boil my blood. I just moved to La so my tax dollars fund them.
A tax payer putting money, involuntarily towards something they disagree with.
Oh, the horror…
First time being a US citizen?
So what are the consequences for breaking this law and why aren’t they being given?
These states get millions of dollars of funding for hundreds of programs from highways to business tax breaks. These can be cut immediately.
Will they be cut?
shake shake shake
Sources point to Yes
Seriously though, why wouldn’t they? There’s historical precedent for this going back a long way. For a long time the Federal highway Max speed was 55 and that was because feds threatened to pull highway funding if any state exceeded that. Any state exceeding it now is only doing so with the fed’s blessing. Money works.
Federal investigation and lawsuits, per the article.
So… Nothing
How law and order of them.
Oh look Christianity brought a friend to help with their lawsuit.
ah sick, crimes, who could pay attention to those. No big deal.
Is that a dead body? I don’t even know her!
