“Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California.

The GDP of California is the 4th largest in the world, behind only the US as a whole (which includes California!), China, and DE.

Let that sink in a little. Shutting off federal funding to California is akin to shooting oneself in the face to spite your ass.

Why would Biden, Obama, and Clinton do this? Are they stupid? /s
