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.
Singling out one state for massive cuts would be an unusual move, but Donald Trump has long made Democratic-led California a target.
For me it all comes down to whether the Scots can get themselves in to the EU or not. Casting yourself adrift, Brexit style, is foolish.
Iirc Scotland has the blessing of most of the EU to get a fast tracked but with some countries like Spain having the condition that this is only on a legal exit supported by the UK. Indyref itself isn’t even anti-UK so much it is not being tied to an increasingly corrupt and self sabotaging government in westminster, if the UK stopped relentlessly shooting itself in the foot the movement would likely lose most of its support.
I’m behind indyref. A couple of Scot’s explained their view to me in a pub years ago, which changed my view. Plus, I’m English. I should only be observing.
