Hmmm, let’s see, in April-May it was (state-Gov’s party) NY-D, NJ-D, and MA-R as top 3 COVID case states, now it’s TX-R, CA-D, FL-R as the top three. But wait there’s more, as of this morning’s NY Times, TX has 923,828 cases ALONE whereas NY/NJ/MA have 889,544 cases COMBINED… further, TX is putting up 6,344 new cases a day, whereas NY/NJ/MA combined are putting up 4,125, so TX is continuing to pull away…Truly, truly brilliant and inspired Republican leadership there in TX.
(actually, the R Gov of MA should be commended. MA was once 3rd in cases and have now dropped to 21st, but MA is not 21st in population, so MA is fighting above their weight class. Too bad other Rs are unwilling to learn…)
Ahh the myth of the mismanaged blue state. The truth is that those states generate most most of the revenue the Federal Govt runs on and yet get little back in terms of Federal spending. This leaves on the hook for the social & economic programs that the Feds fund in red states.
Is that as opposed to the mismanaged federal response to the pandemic? Nearly a quarter of a million deaths and the president insists he wouldn’t have done anything differently. Better dead than panicked, I suppose. /s
You certainly have a fixation on this woman who has power and pointed out in public that all of Trump’s roads lead to Putin.
You should know Moscow Mitch the judge thief recessed congress to Nov 9 so there is no chance of a deal. 75% of Americans thought there should be a relief package and the Supreme Court should wait until after the election.
Power Mad Covid Spreading Republicans don’t care about Americans at all, vote them all out.
It should be noted that Pelosi’s Hero bill has been on Mitch’s desk since March, along with the other 400 House bills Mitch failed to bring up to vote.
Considering that most blue states pay more in federal taxes than they receive, while the red states get more in federal dollars than they pay, then the blue states should just be able to keep their own money. Especially now that Trump and the Repubs put a cap on deducting local and state taxes on their federal returns.
Those “mismanaged blue states” are a myth;. They have bigger budgets because they do more for their citizens, but even so the “red states” are hurting too. The only difference being their government’s indifference to the welfare of their citizens, so cutting out this or that frill like 911 emergency doesn’t bother them.

Funny-looking Moscow Mitch you drew there. he’s the one who’s killed these deals.
Are you counting on your readers to be that stupid to believe this crap, or are you just that stupid to believe it yourself?

They haven’t mismanaged Squat. They’re just unlucky to have the greatest number of poor folks to take care of all these years.

the governors just get to ‘mismanage’ their individual states – the president (in name only) has managed to mismanage the entire country…

COVFEFE-45 is no respecter of state governments, Mr. Ramirez, just efforts to control it by accepted scientific means.

Those of us in blue states that handled the virus far better than red states might be good with that.

Mike sure gets a lot of bang for his disinformation ruble.
It’s McConnel who is holding America’s relief money hostage.
It’s conservative wing nuts who conspire to kidnap Governors.
