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.

    Funny thing Is that Trump would nuke California. He’s speed running the Civil War movie that came out.

      And get nuked in return, assuming weapons could be seized by California and employed. But you’re right: I could see that egomaniac fucking us all over further by starting a nuclear conflict.

      God, I want my family out of this country, but there’s nowhere to go.

        Before my dad went down the Qanon hole. He told me America was the last place on earth for true freedom. And we ran away from a genocide because our overlords turned on us.
