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.
Worth noting that most of these grants have likely already been cancelled but not formally cancelled (i.e. the grantee hasn’t been notified of cancellation but expenses and distribution of funds have stopped).

Well, it’s only fair that Californian companies and individuals cancel their Federal tax payments until the courts start forcing them to restore the grants.
Why would Trump want to do this anyway? Did he not see Gavin’s podcast? That outreach didn’t mean anything at all?

No more federal tax payments to make up for the difference lost! Do it through court to have legitimacy.
