The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort that could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.
Agencies are being told to start identifying grants the administration can withhold from California. Sources said the administration is specifically considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems.
“No taxpayer should be forced to fund the demise of our country,” White House spokesman Kush Desai said in a statement Friday afternoon, criticizing California for its energy, immigration and other policies. “No final decisions, however, on any potential future action by the Administration have been made, and any discussion suggesting otherwise should be considered pure speculation.”
Gavin’s going to be big mad
Trump says California will receive NO money from the federal government to give it away to illegals:
“Between California and Colombia, there’s not that much difference. We’re not going to be making those payments.”

“You have a state right now being run by a bunch of people who do not want to comply with federal law and clear federal mandates, and somebody needs to confront them — the President is.”
The state is run by a bunch of people who refuse to comply with federal law!

California Democrats do nothing but bite the hand that feeds them.
Not another penny until they straighten up and fly right.
They give more trouble than money.
California leaders are terrible. They hate the federal government. I wish it would break off into the ocean.
Why would the Federal Government fund California. Newsome and his Communist rats only use it to destroy their state. Screw them!
This is about the restoration of the Union. California is the most egregious of a conspiratorial confederacy of at least a dozen states that are plunging headlong into hell! But the toxic influence of this cabal will have to be purged from all fifty states before we can be restored to our foundational principles.
Lived there 30yr , it used to be a great state but now NO !!!!!!
I’ve always tried to avoid it (going to Cali). I live in one of the headlong into hell states, so I don’t need to visit the Capitol.
