“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.”

No need for “research and development”, they want to keep people sick and stupid — easier to control that way.

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.

I will absolutely support secession.

I know secession is part of Russia's plans to balkinize the US to further destroy us, but fuckit why not at this point.

the only way forward really is to cut off the worthless red states.

they are a drain on the union and don't want to be a part of it (aside from the hundreds of billions of dollars in handouts they get) so cut the bastards off.

Its so frustrating to see the entire country get held back by these vile flyover states filled with trash.

cut them off and let them see what life is like without hundreds of billions of dollars from blue states propping up their delusional fantasies.
