As tensions escalate between California and the Trump administration over immigration, another potential battlefront is emerging over taxes.

The spat began with reports that the Trump administration is considering cutting funding for California's university system, the largest higher education system in the nation with about 12% of all U.S. enrolled students.

In response, Gov. Gavin Newsom wrote Friday afternoon in a social media post that California provides about $80 billion more in taxes to the federal government than it receives in return.

"Maybe it's time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump," Newsom said.

I'm not mad at this at all I'm thrilled a politician is actually fighting back. He has a history of standing up against trump and the gop status quo

That said this is the first time there is any bite to it and the cynic/realist in me is saying it's cause he is gearing up for presidential nomination and election. I really hope he is not the Democrat choice.

~~if the good wife/fight taught me anything the democrats already have someone picked out and priming public for it~~

I just wish we had Bernie i wanna see that timline :'(

I want the timeline where Carter won a second term and the Christian nationalists funding Reagan realized their plan didn't work and give up on it.

Or how about a timeline where we didn't immediately give up on ~~Restoration~~ Reconstruction after the Civil War

EDIT: derp.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You're thinking of Reconstruction. Restoration is just a worthless school of magic.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 21 hours ago

Lol derp. Fixed.

i want the timeline where harris won lol

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Harris lost before she ran. Not that she was a strong candidate, but the Dems could have ran literal Jesus, Trump was going to come back either way as long as big money was in politics. Maybe if they ran someone who at least promised change, they could have staved off Trump for another 4 years. Would they have sentenced him in another 4 years? Would anyone been able to get people like Thiel and Musk out of politics?

This will get worse before it gets better. I just hope most of it stays contained in the US.

Trump's health has been declining pretty rapidly, especially his mental health. I won't be surprised if he doesn't make it to the end of this term. And if he does I'm not sure he'd be mentally capable of running in 2028

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 1 points 16 hours ago

And what precedent does it set for US civil society that he was allowed to get away with it? This shit is poison to a free civil society.

Unfortunately, they tend to try harder when it doesn't work the first time. The first attempts at the Prosperity Gospel, prior to WWII, were laughed off because it was so obviously self-serving to rich people. They kept at it until it stuck.
