As we reported on Wednesday, New York State assemblyman and congressional candidate Alex Bores announced that he'd introduced the Anti-Insurrection Act, which would tax any payouts from President Donald Trump's "illegal January 6th slush fund" at 100 percent. Trump's "illegal" Anti-Weaponization fund was part of his legal settlement with the IRS, which had leaked his tax returns. Plenty of people were quick to point out that Bores' legislation itself was illegal and unconstitutional, constituting a bill of attainder.
Over on the West Coast, Gov. Gavin Newsom or one of his advisors had the same idea. What a shock that New York and California would seek to punish people through taxation.

You ever heard of the supremacy clause @GavinNewsom?

Weighing in was no less than Adam Kinzinger:

The memo went out and they're having so much fun with this. I'm happy for them. https://t.co/Kyp79UNa13

Hey, as we reported, the Democrats rewarded the woman who came up with the witty retort to Stephen Miller, "shut up you ugly f**k," with a cake celebrating her achievement.
No one's told Newsom yet that he can't do that.
That’s not even remotely legal.

A state cannot legally garnish any federal payments above 25% regardless of said state law. This is in violation of the Constitution, and federal law.

That’s about as likely as building the high speed rail.

Claiming you’re going to do something that will never happen is so typical of Gavin 🙄🤣

Oh you just stack right on up, cupcake. That'll get laughed out of court.

This is so far outside the realm of constitutionality. The acoustics in this guys head must be amazing.

We'll see how long this holds up. Selective, capricious and punitive. This is all political theater.

More political theater from the retards in California. It's unconstitutional. It will be struck down immediately.

One more try though, attainder.
Bills of attainder are illegal

@grok Is whatever he is announcing here even constitutional or just a political PR stunt?
— Giorgi Mamula (@MamulaGiorgi) May 27, 2026
A political PR stunt, as usual.
Unconstitutional and unenforceable virtue signaling from the pampered prince of California
— Anthony Formica (@AnthonyFormic13) May 28, 2026
How many more states are going to announce this unconstitutional plan? Maybe the IRS shouldn't have leaked Trump's tax returns illegally, and there wouldn't be an Anti-Weaponization Fund.
