Notwithstanding any other provision of law, during any period in which Zohran Mamdani is mayor of New York, New York

(1) any unobligated Federal funds available for New York, New York, for any purpose are hereby rescinded; and

(2) no Federal funds may be obligated or expended for any purpose to New York, New York.

This seems totally rational and beneficial for Americans and definitely not purely vindictive in pursuit of a culture war.

In any sane timeline this guy would resign in shame for presenting such a targeted, islamaphobic act.

True patridiots... So freedumb loving, Democratic Republic protecting, that they punish the people for selecting their local leader by a vote...

Not sure if it would technically count, but it's giving bill of attainder for sure.

And this is how you get a city/state to stop paying federal taxes. Lol.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law ...

OK, so this is more useless signaling than anything actionable.

Its a template for any city that is not run white.

How about another law: No state shall receive more in federal spending than that state contributes in federal taxes.
