Newsom calls special session to fund California's legal defense against Trump

Newsom’s preemptive strike signals the return of the hostile relationship between Democratic-controlled California and the Trump administration.

Launching his first salvo less than 36 hours after former President Trump was again elected to the White House, Gov. Gavin Newsom on Thursday convened a special session of the Legislature, seeking to increase legal funding to protect California policies — on civil rights, climate change, abortion access and disaster funding — from an anticipated conservative federal agenda.

Newsom’s preemptive strike signals the return of the hostile relationship between Democratic-controlled California and the Trump administration that was a hallmark of the Republican’s first term.

“The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack — and we won’t sit idle,” Newsom said in a statement. “California has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and resources they need to thrive.”

Blue States with governors that give a shyt might hold it down

Dems are dead in the water.

I wish we had a competent alternative.

I'm tired of giving them a pity vote every 4 years

* And Gavin is one of the few Dems I actually like, even tho he would be hard to have as the candidate because of Cali's issues*

 

[get these nets]

He's smart to get ahead of this.

They tried to get rid of him but I like Newsom. Good shyt

He needs to focus on keeping folks living in cali. Come the next census and cali and NY lose 4-5 electoral votes and red states get them, the map becomes even harder
