The Trump administration appears to be planning to leverage the same playbook used in Minnesota to go after other blue states.

California's already suffered plenty under the dipshit's leadership of ICE. I got to see the aftermath of an ICE raid in a busy commercial Latino street. The place was dead when it should've been bustling with delivery vans, people, and opened businesses. It was devastating.

The economic consequences are deliberate.

California and New York? You mean the #1 and #3 states by GDP in the country?

I'm sure that'll go really well for our already-faltering economy propped up by an AI house of cards! Nothing helps business like state-sponsored terrorism! Yeah!... yeah...

I suspect trashing the economy is the goal. They just need to time it so they don't lose control of the country. Trump and his cronies will buy up all the assets just as everyone loses their job and they'll start an eternal war and hire everyone for slave wages to make military gear

These states should stop sending money to poor republican states then as retaliation. That money could do a lot more within their own states anyway....

States do not send money to other states. States do not send money to the Federal government. Individuals send money to the Federal government.

We should already. Why the hell are we hemorrhaging money just to prop up The same idiots who keep voting against helping people.

I'd much rather spend the money helping people in my state.

My guess is they'll use the super bowl as their start here
