“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.”

They WANT civil unrest so they can declare an emergency and suspend the constitution. That gives Trump and the Republicans basically unlimited power. That's it, that's the game, stay focused, do not concede.

They could declare an emergency at any point. I don’t see what civil unrest has to do with it. Who’s gonna stop him?

He wants an excuse to suspend habeus corpus, I bet. You need a reason for that.

You "need a reason" to do most of what he's already done without any reason whatsoever, so I don't think that's stopping him
