Gotta love those "#StatesRights" hypocrites.
Will it work???
Dem-led states in MD, NY, CT, and WI have introduced untested bills to withhold federal payments if federal authorities withhold or freeze funding authorized by Congress. Critics say the approach faces constitutional and political hurdles, including potential retaliation from the White House. Lawmakers insist they must protect key programs like health care and environmental protections. Experts note states rarely have leverage over the feds, but some call this an innovative stand.

#FreeSpeech Coalition v. Paxton: "The power to require age verification is within a State's authority to prevent children from accessing sexually explicit content."
So #SCOTUS is basically simplifying down to a #StatesRights issue.
"The Republican budget is apparently going to have a slush fund to bail out red state hospitals while allowing blue state hospitals to close because of the devastating Medicaid cuts.
Let's call this what it is - a fundamental corruption. A blow to the heart of our 50 state union."

#Trump ordered to return control of #California #NationalGuard to governor
Dan Mangan
Published Thu, Jun 12 2025
Key Points:
- A federal judge ruled that the #federalization of parts of California’s National Guard by President Donald Trump was “#illegal,” and ordered Trump to return control of the Guard to state Gov. #GavinNewsom.
- But Judge Charles Breyer stayed his own order from taking effect until 3 p.m. ET on Friday to allow the Trump administration to appeal his decision.
- Trump had federalized 4,000 members of the California National Guard, and mobilized another approximately 700 U.S. #Marines to respond to protests in Los Angeles against federal immigration enforcement actions.

"Judge Breyer wrote in his ruling that Pres. Trump’s move to take over the National Guard violated the constitutional principle of states rights.
"“It is not the federal government’s place in our constitutional system to take over a state’s police power whenever it is dissatisfied with how vigorously or quickly the state is enforcing its own laws,” he wrote. “Quite the contrary, the founders reserved that power, & others, to the states.”"

...“would be a direct attack on states’ rights.”
President #Trump stated in 2020:
"I can call insurrection but 
there’s no reason to ever do that, even in a, #Portland case.
We can’t call in the #NationalGuard unless we’re requested by a governor.
This is the next stage of the #TrumpCoup!!!
