Trump just got humiliated on the world stage again:
1. Iran bombed Israel for the first time since the April ceasefire
2. Trump calls up Netanyahu and tells him not to respond under any circumstances
3. Netanyahu just bombed Iran
Trump is weak.
Everyone!
Let’s give a shoutout to @kwelkernbc, for pushing back on Donald Trump’s false statements and his lies.
We need more reporters like her that can push back against Donald Trump’s lies.
Thank you Kristen Walker! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
@RepLuna So now you’re stipulating that American citizens shouldn’t benefit from their own tax dollars sent to DC? Are you kidding me?
Republicans offer us nothing but lies and loss.
@RepLuna Are you really this stupid? How are you an elected official? California literally pays the bills for all the broke red states. You absolute moron
This woman has got to be one of the dumbest people in Congress. California is the fourth largest economy in the world and sends significantly more money to the federal govt than it receives in federal funding. Furthermore, there is no "shady election process", that's tinfoil hat nonsense.

This is false, as you can easily find out by asking your staff to research it.
California pays tens of billions more in federal taxes than it receives. It is what is referred to as a “donor state,” since it subsidizes other states that receive more than they pay.
It’s worth noting that this was true even when we didn’t have an administration withholding disaster funding from states that didn’t vote for him.
There is ZERO evidence for your claim. As an elected official, you owe it to the country to be responsible and not just repeat false claims made by people bc they don’t like the outcome of an election.
If you have some credible proof to support your claim, please post it. If not, please be more responsible. The frequent unsubstantiated accusations made by elected officials is degrading our democracy & exacerbating an already toxic political climate.
@RepLuna California sends tens of billions more in federal taxes than it receives. Net donor state.
Rep. Luna demanding they “clean up” before getting their own money back is elementarily foolish.
The selective conditions write themselves.
If Californians don’t know this is categorically misleading.
“The federal government does send billions of dollars to California, providing over $150 billion annually to support state and local government services. However, California actually pays more in federal taxes than it receives in federal funding. The state sends hundreds of billions more to Washington D.C. than it gets back, acting as the nation's largest "donor state".
