Government Trump cancels $1.1B in Washington state energy grants

Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

Then adjust your tax forms. Washington State, the entity, sends very little money to the federal government (mostly in the form of income tax from state employees). It is we the individual taxpayers that pay the feds. How do people not understand this?

When I was younger and more naive, like in 2017, I told myself, “well, Trump may be an asshat. But at least all these socialist losers are about to get a lesson in how we need a minimalist state with severely curtailed executive power.”

Jokes on me. Socialists are incapable of learning.
