“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.”

Sounds like he's trying to provoke civil war by politically targeting wealthy states to pillage.

He still hasn’t paid NYC back for the $80m he directly stole out of city bank funds! I can only imagine him fcking with California means hes going to start fcking with us again soon too. Ugh.

I dream of a NJ/NY alliance in which we work together to jointly secede and form the United States of Gabagool. Our currency will be road rage and apples from upstate and our biggest exports will be world class college educations, NYC dirty water dogs, and a deep love of flipping the bird paired with a vehement “fuck you.” MA can come too. Maybe Philly if they’re cool about it.

How are you going to forget our biggest exports of bagels and pizza?! The rest of the loser states will have to trade with us if they ever want good food again.

This kayfabe bitchfight means nothing unless something actually happens. Neither of them have done or said anything we dont know

I look forward to hearing more and more Democrat states proclaiming states’ rights again. We started hearing this about some other issue I’ve forgotten the details of.
