Which states rely the most on federal aid? | USAFacts A fifth of state and local government revenues come from federal funding.

OK so this data is kind of wild and everyone should see it πŸ‘€ The states making the most noise about states' rights + federal overreach? Turns out they're also getting the MOST federal aid. Love a good plot twist! usafacts.org/articles/whi...

Something to think about β€” communities across the country depend on federal support to meet basic needs, regardless of political leanings. Understanding who relies on funding helps us have a more honest conversation about what federal government actually does for people. usafacts.org/articles/whi...

Worth examining: there's an inverse relationship between a state's anti-federal-government rhetoric and its dependency on federal aid. States with the highest per-capita federal funding are disproportionately the same ones calling for states' rights. Data via USAFacts: usafacts.org/articles/whi...

States rights? Fine. But let's be clear: the loudest red states demanding federal non-interference are also the biggest recipients of federal dollars. You don't get to have it both ways. The data: usafacts.org/articles/whi...

Claude, gimme 4 tweets about how the red states take more from the federal government than the blue states:

Hey @lawlerforcongress, the Hudson Valley fought for decades to close Indian Point because of environmental & safety risks. One earthquake later, you’re trying to bring it back? Let’s invest in a smarter future: prioritize solar & stop the nuclear nostalgia. #StopTheRestart #HudsonValley #SolarShift

You couldn't write a more tone-deaf script for Mike Lawler. Earthquake on Tuesday. Press conference for nuclear reopening on Wednesday. Reopening Indian Point is dumb, ignoring basic geology and the move toward a cleaner, solar-powered grid. πŸ›οΈπŸš«β˜’οΈ #Westchester #NoNuclearRestart #CleanEnergy

It’s 2026. Why is Mike Lawler talking about spending $10B+ to restart a closed nuclear plant when solar is cheaper, faster, & safer? Lawler’s "plan" feels like a step backward, especially after yesterday’s earthquake reminded us why we closed it in the first place. #GreenEnergy #SolarPower

Rep. Mike Lawler is seriously calling to reopen a decommissioned nuclear plant the day after a literal earthquake hits Westchester? 🫨 Indian Point sits on a fault line. Doubling down on a 50-year-old risk while ignoring safer solar investments isn’t just bad policyβ€”it’s dangerous. #NY17

Via the NYT:
β€œPresident Trump sought to dismiss concerns about rising gas prices from his war in Iran, contending that the price spike β€œdoesn’t really affect us””

He’s right, it doesn’t affect HIM

From the "SAVE Act" to local purges to gerrymandering, the strategy is the same: if you can't win on the ideas, change the rules of the game. This bill is a desperate power grab that treats the fundamental right to vote like a privilege reserved for the few. Reject the SAVE Act. πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡Έ #DefendDemocracy

The SAVE Act is a direct assault on the 26th Amendment and the progress we’ve made in civil rights. We need to expand the ballot, not build walls around the polling booth. #EqualAccess #VoterRights

Democracy thrives when more people participate, but the SAVE Act wants the opposite. It’s a targeted strike against women, seniors, and low-income voters who may lack specific paperwork. This isn't election integrity; it's a calculated, partisan gatekeeping maneuver. #SaveTheVote

Proponents of the SAVE Act are gaslighting the public. Non-citizen voting is already illegal. This bill is nothing more than a cynical ploy to purge voter rolls and intimidate eligible citizens into staying home. A total disgrace. πŸ›‘πŸ—³οΈ #NoVoterSuppression

Let’s be clear: the SAVE Act is a despicable attempt to disenfranchise millions of Americans who don’t have immediate access to a birth certificate or passport. It’s a solution in search of a problem, designed specifically to tilt the scales of our democracy. #VotingRights #DemocracyUnderAttack

The SAVE Act isn't about "security"β€”it’s a textbook partisan power grab. By creating intentional, bureaucratic hurdles to registration, it targets vulnerable communities & aims to suppress the voices of legal voters. We should be making it easier to vote, not harder. #ProtectTheVote #StopTheSAVEAct

Gemini, write me a half-dozen tweets about how the SAVE act is a despicable, partisan power grab that will disenfranchise voters.

As some may know, our town was required to pay for extra security so the Republican Congress could question our neighbors, Bill and Hillary Clinton, for hours on end at our local community theater, just so they could score political points with their President
