Sounds like they should stop sending the federal government their revenue. California sends more than they receive. Spend it on the same programs directly instead, no change for those programs or Californians.

Trump isn't used to not having any leverage, so he just does the same shit all the time and it constantly backfires now because enough people recognize that.

Newsom is threatening that currently.

He won't do it though. Unfortunately.

If Trump cuts off Federal funding, he may not have a choice. That money has to come from somewhere.
