There have been a lot of questions lately as to the best way for blue states to deal with funding issues given the actions of the federal government. The biggest three programs for the federal government (Medicare Medicaid/Social Security) are already actively being used as hostages for compliance.
Barring unprecedented (and likely impossible) federal reform, states are almost certainly going to have to rethink how funding for these programs and countless others are managed. This also touches on a key point - what happens if the federal government simply fails to uphold the Constitution? At what point are the actions simply untenable?
This article describes a proposed bill covering exactly how the states could rethink federal funding was submitted to the Washington state legislature back in 2010.

I'm not sure how this all ends, but it's pretty difficult to imagine how things will continue over three more years of increasing authoritarianism.
My two cents - either the blue states pull together, or things will just continue to get worse. At least virtually no blue leadership appears to be in denial about the fascism any more - now it's the slow process of going through the stages of grief and developing the response.
Good luck and stay safe.
