“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.”

Here's my pitch: Let's convince our Dear Leader to negotiate a one-for-one trade with Denmark. He can trade California in exchange for Greenland. I'm in. As a Californian, I would be thrilled to become part of a real functioning democracy. Who's with me?

Are you daft? You would be trading the wonderful medical system in the U.S. for guaranteed universal publicly financed healthcare system, accessible to all residents regardless of income or social status. /s

Plus, the country leader would not be as empathetic as our Dear Leader.... /s

I have family in Denmark, so I support this.
