These MAGAts are f-ing insane! They do know that there are Republicans that will also die in California, don't they?

Just Breath36

What gives him the authority TO FREEZE ANYTHING?

I can literally think of nothing except expletives.

Melinda 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🗽24

Plus 90% of the fraud is coming out of DC.

Melinda 🇺🇸🇨🇦🇺🇦🗽22

Hopefully massive lawsuits incoming. This kind of shit makes blue donor state secession very tempting.

NinjaFrog21

There is no grounds or powers available for him to do this. These are constitutional entitlements. The money way paid in by Californians, it's not the fed's money.

john5789.bsky.social18

Vance seems to not understand California puts money into the Federal Government so Vance can give money to Red states. Maybe California need to just keep the money they send to Red States.

Leia🇨🇴🇺🇸18

Um...thanks? Californians better pick a candidate who has experience fighting Trump in court! Familiarity with managing healthcare programs and legal expertise are a bonus.

Marion16

Show your documented proof of these claims. California pays more into the federal government than it gets back, make those red states pay their fair share.

@debbie15616

🖕you Vance or whoever the hell you are. 🐀

CJTO🍁🏳️‍🌈14

California needs to stop sending them tax revenue.

AC Roosevelt12

Well, some judge will block that. It's clear as day that Vance et al are doing that with political malice.

Rockenellen9

What a bunch of evil fucks

I’m Monica 🦋 RELEASE ALL THE EPSTEIN FILES9

Time for California to stop paying “their share” to the Federal Government. 🤺🔥🤺

Shandra O7

Medicaid is a federal agency and should be monitored by the feds. Punishing the State for not doing the federal job is sloppy and illegal.

Lisa6

Time for California to stop giving the Fed Govt any money. Which will affect how many magat states?

JEZEBEL Blue 👀 only.6

I detest his very existence.

andyroz Go Green6

"California contributes the most in total federal tax revenue to the U.S. government due to its large economy and population. Along with states like New York and Texas, California is considered a "donor state," paying significantly more in federal taxes than it receives back in federal spending."

Jason Dogwood 💙 🏳️‍🌈 🌱5

MAGA is a death cult

They are stealing money from the state of California taxpayers. The people are not being allowed to access their tax money to pay for services. The citizens of California and their government need to fix this. Keep your tax dollars at home.

Michael Anne5

So CA should freeze $billions earmarked to send feds to refund $ CA has wasted on tacky decor & destruction of WH, illegal Iran war, Venezuela invasion, DOGE fraud, Vanity Projects, Cabinet’s personal travel & housing, court costs, golf, etc.,etc., etc. No doubt CA will come out way ahead.

Tail of a Nomad (T.)5

Why the f*ck are we paying taxes?

elijahplovejoy.bsky.social4

The guy who's changed his name four times and not only told us that Haitian immigrants were eating people's pets but explained it later by saying he'd tell whatever story he needed to to win votes is depriving poor kids & the elderly of medical care because... fraud. Demonic.

cozybooksonly.bsky.social4

Time to keep our money. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/experts-sa...

bd-nola.bsky.social4

So punish everyone due to a handful of fraudsters? Can’t the US Attorneys Office go after the FEDERAL fraud, too?

Cindy Lee 🇨🇦4

So Vance knows what medications people are being prescribed? Really? How & why would he know that?

irishlass24.bsky.social4

If he wants to talk fraud, all states should withhold…oh, never mind. Hypocrites.

Sandra3

Time for California to withhold federal funds

teresalfenton.bsky.social3

Bullshit. This is because trump is jealous of Gavin Newsom. I hope California withholds sending federal taxes to Washington. Vance should be more concerned about Trump ripping off the irs for $10 billion dollars. There’s the real fraud.

T. Boone Doggle3

What does California need the federal government for again?

Aunt Elle3

He must’ve asked Rick Scott how Medicare fraud is done.

Kurt Ronn3

MAGA kills. 600,000 first term. Millions globally this term. And we’re only 15 months into this term #MAGAkills #RepublicansSuck

HaukurinID3

His family required these benefits to simply live

Cirilian3

Can California not withhold what it sends to the federal government and let it settle in court?

Mr. Blabalino 🇳🇴🇺🇸💙2

This won't make it through the courts.

Ernie Ethelbean2

Blue states should withhold taxes

Sharona2

This is how it will affect just one segment: If glaucoma Medicaid enrollees do not get their daily eye medications, they will go blind. THEY WILL GO BLIND. No turning back from it. THEY WILL GO BLIND.

🖇️Patty_M57 📎2

I don't believe 🛋️ JDVance

RAW2

Can couch fucker please sit down and stop talking

Belinda Waggoner2

So many people paid into the system their whole lives. Now, if you live in California you’re denied those rights?

Avvie2

Cali leadership should withhold federal funds designated to be allocated for their Medicaid recipients in return. Two can play that.

Murmuration2

Says the second most powerful man in the most corrupt administration US has ever seen….

☮☮😸😸☮☮2

Ahem. They did it to MN. We are living through it now. The most fraud this state has seen is by those who committ tax fraud and skate with community service sentences. Yeah. All White, All millionaires. $400 million defrauding the state should get a sentence of more than 90 days of public service.

Tamara2

And the hillbilly genius is a doctor? WTF is he talking about? Rick Scott is the winner winner chicken dinner of Medicare/Medicaid fraud! I believe he is from Florida and not California?

utah-misfit.bsky.social2

California needs to pull every single penny they contribute to the fed. Let these indignant red states that California compensates, fend for themselves. Figure it out for yourselves, MAGAts.

Based on 2024 data, Californians paid approximately $275.6 billion more to the federal government in taxes than they received in federal spending. California often leads the nation as the top "donor state," contributing significantly more to federal revenue than it gets back for services & projects.

John Potter2

That's certain to boost the popularity of Republican candidates in November.

WILLIAM STLUCIA😎51

WELL I HOPE CALIFORNIA DECIDES TO NOT SEND ANY MORE MONEY'S WITHHELD FOR FEDERAL TAXES FROM PEOPLE'S CHECKS AND SEND IT TO THE FEDS, PUT IT IN ESCROW😳🤯 and the rest of democratically run states need to do the same thing🤬

B. Chris (B.C.) Bell36

People will die and they don't care.

Brian Shorey24

Now California should withhold federal tax payments which would bankrupt the feds in no time. The moron just never stops shooting himself in the feet and somehow getting away with it. It's time to stop playing nice.

Gidget 💜18

Time for blue states to stop subsidizing red states.

Deanna Something14

*illegally withholding $1.3 billion There, I fixed it for you.

hapm.bsky.social12

Then just “give back” all the Federal Funds Californians paid to the Federal Government!! Not Trump’s, not JD Vance’s money!!💵

kathleenbyrne.bsky.social9

Isn’t California a State that is a net contributor to the Federal level? Time for Blue States to say enough is enough.

TemptTheRevenant9

Every minute, the Republican Party finds new ways to continue its degradation of our nation and democracy, uplift fascists, and cause purposeful harm to American citizens (even their own constituents).

RFK Brain Worm Jr.6

Withholding is an interesting way to say stealing.

Alfonso!?!5

the lawsuit should be against James Bowman individually

🖕🧊 Livvie’s Jam 🖕🧊4

Hey California and @gavinnewsom.bsky.social @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social … you know what to do!

gunter54.bsky.social4

And Rick Scott pocketed millions of dollars in Florida Medicaid and Medicare fraud without so much as slap on the wrist. In the meantime, the Republican Party loves to kill innocent Americans.

mellowcanuck.bsky.social4

Cut the feds off California.

John Rage3

California should suspend federal payments until federal fraud problems and state payments are returned.

AliceLastname3

This is their way of breaking California so they can better sell Hilton as a savior to the voters. This is part of an election strategy.

SomeFoo2

Stop paying taxes then Cali

Ask JD Vance how much the trip to China with Trump and all those CEOs cost the American people? Did those CEOs pay for tickets and the meals on board Air Force One or did the American taxpayer pick up the tab?

slidvendetta2

I remember the Obama Death Panels scare...

Ellz2

Stealing Cut them off, guv

Elizabeth Wilson4

That's just what Christ would do. Right, J.D. Vance?

we there yet?4

Does he hear himself? I don’t think they can hear themselves… I guess the California republicons are all “on board” with their constituents’ medicare/medicaid tax dollars being confiscated for WAR and to line their reps own corrupt POCKETS?

ingemarknows.bsky.social3

Yep those fools should try being a hospice home health aide for a week to see what is required. Or stay with a family taking care of their loved one at home under hospice care. Sheesh

Ann Nordland3

JD just made a free campaign ad for every Democrat on the ballot in CA.

rbrown55183

If it's CA today, it will be your state tomorrow... These folks are BEGGING to be punished hard!

Granny Josie She/Her2

It's time for blue states to start withholding federal taxes. It's time to wean red states and let them start supporting themselves - in other words, "Stop the Steal" (so to speak).

My Two Bits6

California should stop giving tax money to federal govt.

Bumblefrets 🏳️‍🌈6

JD Vance using his net negative political capital to do even more unpopular stuff, shocking

Peace Eagle4

People Donald has pardoned for medicare/ medicaid/ healthcare fraud: Philip Esformes ($1.3 B) Lawrence Duran & Judith Negron ($205 M) Salomon Melgen ($42 M) Joseph Schwartz ($39 M) Daniela Gozes-Wagner ($28 M) This has wiped out $2 billion dollars in fines and restitution.

modernsoul247.bsky.social3

The government collects about 350 billion in income tax from the citizens of California every year. Literally biting the hand that feeds most of the government!!

gardenhomesboy.bsky.social3

If I’m California, I’m not sending federal taxes collected to Washington

TheSurlyShirley 🐸🐸💙💙2

When will they be going after Rick Scott??

John Spikowski4

California should announce that federal taxes will be suspended until Medicaid is restored.

rockinforever.bsky.social3

Punk ass Vance ! Come to California. Do a town hall or are you too fucking chicken. You won’t ever be fucking President Quit dreaming MF

maverick72.bsky.social2

Don’t bite the hand that feeds you, JD. CA, 4th largest 🌎economy based on GDP, most populous state w/~8% of US population & massive consumer market. In 2024, Californians paid ~$275.6B more to USG than it received: 15.8% of 2024 total gross federal taxes. Give it back so we can care for our own.

Martin Gardner2

On what supposed legal authority?
