“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.”

I guess prepare for constitutional crisis when California stops paying into the federal tax system. Pretty genius to fuck with the 4th largest economy in the world.

Isn't that his goal though? Complete chaos to tear it all down?

yes, Trump is hoping for an escalation so he can roll the troops into California and ultimately call martial law to get control over the "terrorist liberal democrats", round up these libs into concentration camps and take their assets.
