According to ABC News, two prominent Democrats are stepping away from a national bipartisan organization that brings together the chief executives of all 50 states, citing a lack of pushback to Trump administration policies and to some recent threats to state funding and operations.
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association (DGA), will be leaving the National Governors Association (NGA) at the end of the month, a source familiar with her thinking told ABC News. She will actively step back from the organization, not only by not paying dues but also by withdrawing from promoting or taking part in any NGA-associated work, the source said.
Minnesota Gov. Tim 'Tampon' Walz, the former DGA chair, is also cutting ties with the NGA and will stop paying dues to the organization next year as he is "reassessing" his membership. That's the way to man up, Timmy.
There is no problem so big that you can't run away from instead of staying and trying to fix it, right? Thank fuckin' God this guy isn't living in Blair House right now. I can't even imagine. Yeesh...
Wikipedia sez:
ReplyDelete"In July 2025 Democratic governors Laura Kelly of Kansas and Tim Walz of Minnesota, announced their intent to depart from the association citing a lack of criticism of policies during the Second presidency of Donald Trump and criticism of the organization's response to incidents of Trump threatening federal funding and threatening federal interference in operations in democratic-run states."
"We'll just take our ball and go home."
The NGA without these two is like going deer hunting without an accordion.
The R-D count at present is 27-23. Their departure will make it 27-21.
Idiots. They want the good ol' Washington definition of "bi-partisan". Meaning you either agree to the Dems ideas or we call you racist/claim you want to kill grandma/etc.
