California Governor Gavin Newsom went full meltdown mode on Friday, threatening to withhold tens of billions of dollars in federal taxes from Washington, D.C. \u2014 after reports surfaced that President Donald Trump is preparing to cut federal funding to the far-left state over its radical policies and out-of-control universities.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s tantrum comes after CNN<\/a> reported that the Trump administration is planning a \u201cfull termination\u201d of federal grants to California\u2019s bloated university systems, specifically the University of California and California State University, in response to the institutions\u2019 failure to combat rampant anti-American and antisemitic activity on their campuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cCalifornians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it\u2019s time to cut that off, @realDonaldTrump,\u201d Newsom wrote on X.<\/p>\n

Politico<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n

\n

White House spokesperson Kush Desai, asked to comment on Newsom\u2019s post, threw cold water on mass funding cuts but blasted California for what he said were \u201clunatic anti-energy, soft-on-crime, pro-child mutilation, and pro-sanctuary policies.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Trump administration is committed to ending this nightmare and restoring the California Dream,\u201d Desai said in a statement. \u201cNo final decisions, however, on any potential future action by the Administration have been made, and any discussion suggesting otherwise should be considered pure speculation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Trump has wielded federal funding as leverage to push its politics on California before. The president\u00a0last month threatened to choke off the state\u2019s cash flow<\/a>\u00a0if a transgender athlete participated in a state girls\u2019 track meet.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s biting suggestion comes as the governor escalates his anti-Trump rhetoric, even as he asks the White House for economic assistance. Newsom in early May\u00a0blamed tariffs for ripping $16 billion<\/a>\u00a0from California\u2019s state budget, but has at the same time sought federal disaster relief for the recent Los Angeles wildfires and\u00a0privately consulted Trump officials about ways to bolster the state\u2019s flagging film industry<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

But Newsom and his Democrat allies in Sacramento are doubling down on their defiance.<\/p>\n

Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas echoed Newsom\u2019s radical threat.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is unconstitutional and vindictive. We\u2019re the nation\u2019s economic engine and the largest donor state, and deserve our fair share. I\u2019ll use every legal and constitutional tool available to defend CA \u2014 we must look at every option, including withholding federal taxes,\u201d Rivas wrote.<\/p>\n
