Summary

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

In light of Donald Trump's presidency, New York State Senator Liz Krueger suggested that her state, and possibly others, consider secession or withhold federal taxes as a form of resistance against perceived federal overreach. Krueger's remarks, intended as humor, ignited fierce reactions from both conservative and liberal commentators. Critics, including GOP Rep.
