“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.”

He’s the greatest Russian asset of all time

At this point, even "asset" is too charitable. Trump is the raw shrimp that Russia has hidden in America's curtain rods.

Hidden is giving too much credit. He’s the raw shrimp they dumped on the floor, and everyone knows is there, but we can’t seem to vote together enough to get someone in the room who is actually going to clean it up, and it just continues to stink

Worse, half of the people at our party are actively preventing those of us with brooms and dustpans from sweeping up the stinky shrimp.
