    “Planning” is a big word. Threatening more like.

    The gist is that California is basically the source of most of the USA’s tax revenue, and gets back less percentage in benefits from the federal government than any other state. They have like the 6th largest economy in the world if they were their own country.

    Despite this, Trump has repeatedly threatened to cut those federal programs benefiting California even further. This was Newsom’s response.
