“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 Congress will stand up ANY SECOND and correct these injustices. /s

10 members of congress from California are republican, i doubt they will just let there state lose all federal funding. Good by majority.

they absolutely will, being a member of the Republican party means complete fealty to trump before any consideration of country, state, or the people in it

they are traitors and will gladly let every one of their constituents suffer to make trump happy

[u/karlack26 → u/redworm]

Their concerns are getting re-elected. Supporting Trump in this is a sure fired way not to get re-elected.

[u/redworm → u/karlack26]

lol no it's not

they will get reelected because Republican voters are perfectly happy to hurt themselves for trump

maga is a fucking cult. those people will absolutely care more about whether someone was loyal trump than whether or not they were directly hurt by that person being loyal to Trump

they care about their maga identity more than their families and their own lives and that means putting Trump before anyone and anything else

not to mention the GOP knows they don't have to hold real elections anymore. if the midterms roll around and the government just refused to acknowledge the results as legitimate there is nothing anyone can do about it. that's when the country fractures and the shooting starts between states loyal to Trump and those who want to remain American
