Trump Admits Canceling $8B in Grants Just to Spite Harris Voters

Original version ·

Usually political revenge stays quiet, but lawyers just put it directly into a sworn court filing.

The government canceled nearly $8 billion in clean energy grants, and lawyers for the Energy Department officially admitted in court why: they only pulled funding from states that voted for Kamala Harris.

No performance reviews, no statutory violations, no budget cuts. Just pure location-based payback. If a clean energy project happened to sit in a state that went blue and had two Democratic senators, off to the chopping block it went.

Meanwhile, identical projects in red states that were also recommended for cancellation were left completely untouched. The budget director even bragged on X about slashing the funds to stop the green agenda.

Paying federal taxes is now officially a subscription model where benefits depend on how the zip code voted.
