Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.

NJ low-key goated as usual
I think this is the first time I've ever heard NJ described as goated in my life. Thank you for the experience!
That's why it's low-key.
Meanwhile WA and NH are just getting their money back
According to this, all but 3 states receive more than they contribute, and Texas is roughly 17th out of 50 in terms of receiving the least amount back. I guess I don’t understand how Texas could be singled out in a dataset like this. This definitively shows Texas is not among the states receiving the most federal dollars in return for what they pay
