Gavin Newsom. The one-man that Trump can’t intimidate.
Working To Save California From Trump California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers returned to the state Capitol on Monday to begin a special session to protect the state’s progressive policies ahead of another Trump Presidency. Newsom is positioning California to once again be the center of a resistance effort against the conservative agenda. He is asking his Democratic allies in the Legislature, who hold supermajorities in both Chambers, to support additional funding to the Attorney General’s office to prepare for a tough legal fight against expected federal challenges. Legislation was introduced to set aside $25 million for legal fees to answer the likely attacks by the Trump Administration on state policies regarding civil rights, climate change, immigration and abortion access. Trump often illustrates California as representing all he sees wrong in America. Democrats, which hold every statewide office in California and have commanding margins in the Legislature and Congressional delegations, outnumber registered Republicans by nearly 2-to-1 statewide. Trump calls the Democratic Governor “New-scum”, like a 3 year old, and has relentlessly attacked the Democratic stronghold over its large number of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, homeless population and thicket of regulations. Trump also waded into a water rights battle over endangered delta smelt, a tiny fish that has pitted environmentalists against farmers and threatened to withhold federal aid to a state increasingly under threat from wild fires. He also vowed to follow through with his campaign promise of carrying out the mass deportation of immigrants without legal status and prosecting his political enemies. State Attorney General Rob Bonta said his office will protect the state’s immigration population, while Newsom, last week, unveiled a proposal to revive a rebate program for electric vehicle purchases if the incoming Trump administration eliminates a Federal tax credit for people who buy electric cars. Newsom is also considering creating a backup disaster relief fund for the wildfire-prone state after Trump’s threats. Legislators also are likely to spend the year discussing ways to protect dozens of laws expected to be targeted by the Trump Administration, including on that has made the state a sanctuary for people seeing abortions who live in states where such practices have been severely limited. Newsom hasn’t provided details about what actions the lawmakers will consider but said he wanted funding in place before Trump’ S inauguration day, Jan. 20th. The state spent roughly $42 million in litigation costs during the first Trump administration, officials said. California successfully clawed back $57 million between 2017 and 2018 after prevailing in a lawsuit to block the Trump administration from putting immigration enforcement conditions on certain federal law enforcement grant. Another legal victory over the citizenship question in 2020 census forced the federal government to return $850,000 to the state, according to the Attorney General’s office. Trumps hatred for California is no secret. His wise guy and ignorant remarks about California fires proves how incompetent he really is. His focus on only helping people who voted for him shows just how simple minded he is. I truly hope the Republic can survive the next 4 years of Trump. He will not solve any problems of the American people. Trump will do things that make himself feel good and things that will fill his coffers. The idea that he has beaten the charges against him in his selling or giving away secret documents is still a raw spot in my craw; and should be in every Americans as well. Even if you support him the law should be the same for everyone. I will remember Pearl Harbor, as I know Trump will not mention the event. If he does mention it, he will probably call them losers. I will do no such thing Remember the Anniversary for Pearl Harbor is December 7th, 83 years ago— remember the 2,403 people who died in the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1943. This was the start of WWII which ended Sept. 2nd, 1945. Some facts to remember They sank two U.S. Navy battleships (the USS Arizona and the USS Utah) and destroyed 188 aircraft. The Oklahoma was sunk by several torpedoes during the attack and 429 crew members died when she capsized on Battleship Row. The USS Nevada was the only battleship to get underway. It sustained damage but was repaired. USS California was sunk but raised and repaired, USS West Virginia was sunk but later raised and repaired, USS Cassin and Downes were on dry dock but were destroyed.. USS Oglala mine layer was destroyed. It was the flag ship of the Pacific Fleet Mine Force.
