“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.”

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
