If a Democratic president cut off one of the red states dependent on federal funding, it would be a political scandal.
But cutting off California -- the single biggest "donor state" in the nation, one that sends in to the fed'l gov't ~$80 billion more than it gets back -- is straight-up theft.

(CNN) — The Trump administration is preparing to cancel a large swath of federal funding for California, an effort which could begin as soon as Friday, according to multiple sources.

We don’t need to back off the American Gestapo and we don’t need to respect its agents. People exercising state violence are not entitled to anonymity. Nor are the people directing the state violence.
MIKE JOHNSON: From the people who mandated mask wearing for years, it's absurd. They need to back off ICE & respect our agents
Q: So you're ok w/agents not identifying themselves when they're arresting migrants?
J: Why, so they can target them? So they can put names and faces online and dox them?

Here is your statistic of the day:
Nine out of 10 federal employees laid off by DOGE since March worked in liberal-leaning agencies.
All proposed budget increases go to conservative agencies, with the bulk going to the most conservative agencies.

NEW: I analyzed the more recent data on DOGE layoffs and proposed GOP budget increases.
The efficiency was always a lie. The ideology was always the point.
