Then maybe CA should threaten to secede? If they pay federal taxes but the federal funding is cancelled?
CA should stop forwarding all those sweet tax dollars to DC then.
Conversely, California prepares large-scale cancellation of funding the federal government.
Edit: for the people out there who are undoubtedly a *ton* of fun at parties, the above comment is a *joke*.
This is such a shitshow. He’ll do this and congress will sit there with their thumbs in their asses still. Every republican in congress should be impeached for actively refusing to do their job
Hmm. California should respond in kind and withhold federal taxes. Let Trump’s flyover Red States pull themselves up by their bootstraps instead of mooching off successful Blue States, like the welfare queens they are.
Courts will order a pause on this within hours. This has been ruled on before.
Doesn’t California have the most conservatives in the country? Someone please correct me if I’m wrong but I swear I read that before.
Regardless, this a petty and childish move from a petty and childish idiot. Just another day.
Trump, just loading a revolver and pointing it at his foot. “I’ll do it. I swear.” Go ahead, big guy.
And California should stop sending money to the federal government. CA should purposely announce they will send their taxes to blue states only.
Putin’s puppet may just pull off Balkanizing the United States.
And some people wonder why Canada doesn’t want to become the 51st state.
What a stupid thing to even consider.
The only thing California needs from the rest of the country is to drag down the value of the US Dollar, which helps California exports.
Picking a fight with the fourth largest economy is almost a good idea.
California should refuse to pay federal tax and reallocate it internally as needed.
Why is trump attempting to cripple the largest economy in the union?
California paid about $83 billion more in federal taxes than the state received in federal funds. Only trump would target a cash cow.
Let’s attack the 4th largest economy in the world and a state that provides 1/7 of US GDP. Trump is an ass, and will have it handed to him again in court.
All because of a transgender woman winning in a track meet.
Fuck this shit. Our big blue state supports so many others
CA should just withhold federal payments in return. Isn’t the Republican Party all about individual state rights?
Did I see that California has one of the largest populations of Republicans?
This is why we want effective democracies made up of thoughtful, reasonble, knowledgeable, educated and intelligent people: So that one demented, vengeful, ignorant asshole can’t fuck up the country out of petty spite.
Seceding is a near impossibility. Withholding federal taxes is also impossible because they don’t go to the State of California before going to Washington. California prepared for this possibility earlier by earmarking funds for attorneys to fight exactly this.
„Leave it up to the states except states we don’t like.“
Ok. Guess that’s the end of paying fed taxes for the people in California.
Just trying to distract us from musk and Epstein carry on
Let’s review. Numbnuts tried this with the state of Maine and the result was what?
Oh that’s right, a federal judge handed him his balls.

This is coming to every blue state
Then California should stop sending taxes to Washington
How many Republican reps are from California? How may Republican reps can Trump lose and pass his Big Bad Bill?
So he’ll be cool with California not paying taxes right?
May be California should stop paying its federal taxes then ?
okay california becomes an independent country and actually thrives
So the tax revenue generating, number one economy in the country… and he just wants to shoot it in the chest for fun, because it’s liberal…
Our president.
So what happens when California stops sending money to the federal government
There are more registered Republicans in California than the combined population of Delaware, South Dakota, North Dakota, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming.
Trump received more votes in California than the population of Colorado.
Leopards are gonna be feasting.
Rep Issa, quoted in the article, complains about California universities receiving more and more research money. But he doesn’t take into consideration the ROI. That research is partially why California, on its own, has the fourth largest economy in the world.
Does Donald dipshit realise Californias economy is bigger than Japans and basically subsidises all the broke ass red states of the Midwest with its taxes?
I don’t think he does!
He can plan all he wants, he’s not allowed to.
How many times do we have to teach you this lesson, old man?
California provides funding for half of the country .. time to put California first !
Hey California – Maybe consider stopping sending money to the Fed.
If this happens, California should withhold any payments to the federal government and use it to cover the shortfall.
Just the idea that the president could/should punish states based on how they vote is truly insane. Like long term, deeply fucked, can’t be unfucked insane.
When does taxation without representation become a rallying cry again?
He’s going to quickly find out that California contributions to the treasury far outweigh what they receive. If California were to say, withhold contributions…
This fucking circus show never ends…. 24/7 news cycle.
