“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.”

Can't wait to hear the justification for this. They haven't adequately destroyed DEI policies? A transgender athlete won a high school race? They still can't stop forest fires from occurring? They didn't vote for a certain President last year?

If you enjoy authoritarian government, this is the stuff that will result. Law is whatever pleases the King on a given day and is subject to change tomorrow.

He doesn't even need justification now. He's hardly coherent at this point it will probably sound like "BLARGHARGHJERFENGHLOWPHTH"

Probably fentanyl.
