My guess is that Newsom’s only angle would be to say “on X date, all state employee income tax withholdings will go into escrow.” Thats about a quarter million employees out of 20m people filing for taxes in CA.

Then the state would have to start coding and integrating that new system which - would be a HUGE pain in the ass. And while that was happening, this would likely be getting shut down by the SCOTUS.

Not trying to be a Debby downer for people that want to stick it to Trump. At first glance, it looks like leverage, but when you look closer, you see that Newsom can only control a small piece of the pie.

There is a TikTok beauty trend where stupid people are rubbing beef tallow on their faces. Is this why RFK’s face looks like it came out of a fryer?

Is Trump actively trying to start his new term where he left off the last term? Rising prices, a recession, people raging in the streets, and a deadly pandemic.

Seems like that’s his goal.

This has been the game for the GOP for decades. They cry “states rights” when they don’t have the presidency, then want the president to be a king when they have the presidency.

Publicly, Elon said Trump’s bill was full of pork and would increase spending and debt by a lot.

Voters on the right were already waking up to how shitty Trump’s bill was, and Musk just used his megaphone to let even more of Trump’s base know that it sucked.

Privately, Musk is probably pissed that Trump’s bill didn’t help his companies. These are two greedy assholes. It all comes down to money and ego at the end of the day.
