That is an oversimplification. While the IRS can issue levies to federally regulated banks, it usually requires a formal legal process such as a tax lien or a court order. Banks do not comply automatically without proper documentation. State laws can influence how quickly or effectively the IRS operates, especially if the state limits data sharing, delays cooperation, or questions jurisdiction. Not all banks are federally chartered. Some are licensed at the state level and may face different legal pressures. California cannot stop the IRS entirely, but it can slow down enforcement, create legal friction, and raise the political stakes.

Fun fact: holding in a sneeze can cause a brain aneurysm and kill you instantly.

Can also cause ejected bowels, torn windpipes, and other fun things.

Different kind of smart. I dont underestimate them I just see right through them.

It’s us leftists projecting reality onto them, thinking they must be lying. But after a lot of prodding, nope. Cognitive dissonance.

They have people who are Ben Carson smart. Domain-specific. Not in general reasoning, critical thinking, or capable of maintaining such a façade. Anyone smart would've distanced themselves along time ago unless they are grifting them. And generally those types of smarts don't end in MAGA to start with. Just like how MAGAts don't end up as artists. (Name one conservative artist who isn't shit)

And Trump cannot lie. Yes, all he does it lie. But he also cannot lie. If you ask him if he commited a crime he'll straight up admit to it. Everytime. He rejects the premise of guilt. The lies he does tell are done out of a mix of unconscious strategic self-presentation and the fact he is just thick as shit and believes whatever he sees on the TV.

Less than 1%.

People vastly overestimate these bozos.

They aren’t lying. They actually believe this shite. They aren’t playing genius 5d chess they are just reactive morons. Look at the leaked Signal group chats.

No doubt Vance is a bit smarter and is acting a bit, given all the ‘Trump is americas Hitler’ stuff. But this is unspoken between them.

Musk was taking all the attention and jumping about like a dick.

First rift was musk was going to get classified briefings on China and Trump put a stop to it.

Also Musk had a fall out with Bessent and Trump sided with Besset.

Also rumoured he fucked Steven Millers wife (who is a lefty and would blacken a right eye with a hook).

Nothing to do with the bill at all IMO. He does not give a single fuck about that in any form. Just a pain point he knows he can drive a wedge through a big part of Trumps base.

To do what?

California can just stop aiding the IRS in collecting tax.

Elon says Trump is in the Epstein files and has called for him to be impeached.

Trump says he’s considering revoking all Elon’s govt subsidies and Bannon is saying he should deport Elon and confiscate SpaceX

Summary

Idaho teacher Sarah Inama is defying her school district’s order to remove classroom posters promoting inclusivity, including one stating, "Everyone is welcome here."

The district claims the signs violate a policy requiring "content-neutral" decorations and argues that classrooms should be "distraction-free" environments.

Inama initially removed them but later rehung them, arguing the only opposing view to inclusion is exclusion.

Legal counsel upheld the district’s stance, giving her until the school year’s end to comply. Inama refuses, risking her job, and has received widespread support from the community and educators nationwide.

Summary

Fox News and Newsmax joined 40 news organizations in signing a letter urging the Trump administration to lift its ban on the Associated Press (AP) from White House events.

The ban stems from AP's refusal to adopt the term "Gulf of America" instead of "Gulf of Mexico," following a Trump executive order.

Newsmax defended AP’s First Amendment rights despite ideological differences.

The White House Correspondents’ Association and the Reporters Committee for Freedom of the Press also protested the ban, but Trump remains firm, calling AP a "radical left organization."
