Gavin Newsom Reacts to CNN Report That Trump Is Canceling Funding for the State: ‘Californians Pay the Bills for the Federal Government’

California Governor Gavin Newsom ripped President Trump on Friday after CNN reported his administration is preparing to cancel a “large swath” of federal funding for state universities.

“Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back,” Newsom posted on X. “Maybe it’s time to cut that off.”

Newsom’s post included a screenshot of the CNN article on Friday that reported the Trump Administration is looking to cancel federal funds that go towards the University of California and California State University systems. Those two systems, as well as California community colleges, are projected to receive $7.3 billion in federal funds for the 2025-26 school year.
