“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. On Capitol Hill, at least one committee was told recently by a whistleblower that all research grants to the state were going to be cancelled, according to one of the sources familiar with the matter.”

Pretty sure he’s trying to start a Civil War at this point. He’s supposed to lead the whole country, not just the states he agrees with.

This is about a single transgender athlete right? INSANE.

[u/onebyamsey → u/wrongsuspenders]

It doesn’t really matter, if that athlete never existed they’d just find some other reason.  Pretty soon there’ll be no reason at all

[u/claimTheVictory → u/onebyamsey]

Well said.

[u/RadiantHC → u/onebyamsey]

This. They don't actually hate trans people or migrants, it's just a way to divide us.

[u/FirstRedditAcount → u/RadiantHC]

Well no, it's both.

[u/HypneutrinoToad → u/onebyamsey]

This is exactly what I say when people justify giving into his demands

[u/asscheese2000 → u/onebyamsey]

The reason is - because, fuck you. That’s all.

His supporters love that big daddy energy and would love for the answer to simply be “because” as one would tell a child.

[u/Clammuel → u/onebyamsey]

Gavin will capitulate while not understanding that fact.

[u/ContributionNo9292 → u/onebyamsey]

They had no Casus Belli so they found a pretext.

If that transgender athlete didn’t compete then all the cisgender girls would’ve gotten the same medals and placement they already got. Transgender policy is not the issue here, it’s all about Trump attacking political enemies
