Rethink the Deal is asking a question more leaders should consider: Why do high-performing states contribute billions to a federal system that gives them less?

California Derangement Syndrome has blinded people’s ability to see that California is a donor state — giving more money to the federal government than it receives.
Blue states vs Red states. What a freaking joke.
Corruption is corrosive. Whether at the state, local, or national level, it causes Americans to lose faith in our government. That is why we must fight against corruption everywhere we find it and deliver a government that works for you, not against you.
With prices at an all-time high, Minnesotans are having to choose between putting food on the table and presents under the tree. President Trump thinks they’re “dramatic.” I think he should get coal in his stocking.
Maura Healey just doesn’t get it: Massachusetts families and businesses are already being crushed by taxes, we don’t need another payroll tax! There’s plenty of money in the state budget for all sorts of priorities if you cut out waste and fraud. As governor I will get state spending under control starting on Day 1.

Over 300,000 people in Massachusetts are facing massive premium hikes because Congress didn't do their job. If you're one of those people, we just launched a new @HealthConnector tool so you can compare plans and pick the best one for your family. But make no mistake: Families can't afford these out-of-control costs. President Trump and Republicans need to get serious and extend the credits. Get an estimate at mahealthconnector.org.
No, I’m pretty sure the people I talk to across NW Ohio want lower prices. But not surprising that the Billionaire who bought the Washington Post for fun is pushing this kind of propaganda.
Taxpayers subsidize corporations by allowing them to pay their workers starvation wages
I'm suing the Trump administration to protect over $3 billion in funds that provide vital housing and services to fight homelessness. Cutting off these funds could put over 170,000 people at risk of homelessness. We must protect our most vulnerable neighbors.
The Trump Administration is withholding $4 billion in federal funds that help families heat their homes over the winter. This funding was passed on a bipartisan basis and helps bipartisan communities. President Trump: do your job, release the funds.

BREAKING: I’ve authorized nearly $220 million to be made available to @SEPTAPhilly – so they can make necessary safety repairs to over 200 Silverliner IV rail cars, upgrade trolley infrastructure, keep riders safe, and continue to deliver reliable, on-time service. Senate Republicans have refused to come to the table to pass long-term funding for transit — but I refuse to let the 800,000 Pennsylvanians who rely on SEPTA go without reliable, safe mass transit.
Notable: Gov.-elect @MikieSherrill is taking a page from the Newsom playbook and is considering that NJ withholds federal tax dollars in protest of the Trump admin. Worth noting nothing materialized when @GavinNewsom made similar comments months ago. politico.com/news/2025/11/2…
Let's set the record straight. Donald Trump has nothing to brag about when it comes to lowering costs for American families. We have his tariffs to thank for the high costs we're seeing this year at Thanksgiving.
Colder days are coming, but 150K Massachusetts families are still waiting on the Trump Administration to release funding they need to heat their homes. The shutdown's been over for a week. President Trump needs to do his damn job and get heating assistance out today.
The President of the United States of America just called for the death of Democratic lawmakers. This man is sick in the head.
ICE point gun at father in front of son—drag him out of truck by smashing window. "Please put the gun down! That's my dad!" son cries. "You're hurting him... Look he's bleeding!" "Why did you break window? He wasn't doing anything." Man told agents his head hurt after tackling him to the pavement—all the while saying he would cooperate and stand up on his own to be detained. The incident occurred in the Club Heights neighborhood of Charlotte, North Carolina. #DemsUnited
