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!

This is insane and trump’s supporters better wake up. Blue states give more to DC than the reds by far, and they get back far less. Canceling these projects serves no purpose, just more pitting us against one another. Nothing good comes from this. Wake up and demand more from this admin. All they do is separate us further.
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.
What you stated is ridiculous. Have you been to Cali? It’s a beautiful state with the 7th largest economy in the WORLD. Hurting that state hurts the entire country.
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.
