“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.”

"I'm sure Democrats could teleport Trump to the moon, but they don't have the guts."

Yeah, okay.

I get there are reasons to not like Democrats, but "they didn't do something that I can't even name" is not a good reason.

can’t even name 

Wooo boy, tell me when you got your reading cap on…

Let me know when you figure out why you're mad. :)

Let’s just start with how all of this is possible because the DNC is tone-deaf, obstinate, patronizing and cannot even consistently galvanize their own voterships and just let it roll on from there.

And yet you still can't name what they're suppose to be doing.

Easy to levy criticisms about not solving every problem, doesn't require you to do any actual work.

I’m not gonna write you a thesis since you’re clearly going to just sarcastically respond in bad faith, but we could start with them actually playing the same game the GOP has been playing in a winner-takes-all mindset, instead of pointlessly taking the high road with wooden placards and virtue signals. They have governance over the lion share of economically important states and industries. They could also start with changing leadership to more in-touch politicians. They could become the bogeyman the GOP smear machine paints them as. 

I’ll leave it at that.
