California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) convened the state legislature for a special session on Monday designed to “Trump-proof” the state, including by passing $25 million for use in lawsuits against the incoming administration.
As Breitbart News noted after the election in November, Newsom announced the special session — not to deal with pressing problems facing the state, but rather for the political purpose of leading the so-called “resistance” (i.e. opposition) to President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump responded on Truth Social, saying Newsom was “using the term ‘Trump-Proof’ as a way of stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again’.”
Newsom boasted Monday that his administration, unlike that of his predecessor, Jerry Brown, would not simply react to Trump policies, but would go on the offensive against them. He claimed that the state had succeeded in the past at reversing many Trump policies at the “agency level.” (He may have been referring to Trump’s decision to withhold $1 billion in funding for the high-speed rail system California never built; President Joe Biden restored that funding.)
The governor also claimed that no state leader had worked more closely with the Trump administration during the coronavirus pandemic, and that California had still managed to maintain its lawsuits against Trump, regardless.

BREAKING: Gavin Newsom has convened an emergency session of the California Legislature to approve a "Trump-proof" legal defense fund that will cost taxpayers $25 million.
Newsom plans to file lawsuits to block every policy President Trump enacts.
Though Democrats control supermajorities in both houses of the state legislature, the state shifted right in 2024, and nearly 40% of Californians voted for President-elect Trump rather than California’s Vice President Kamala Harris.
Newsom is thought to be posturing, in part, because he is among the presidential frontrunners for the Democratic Party in 2028. He declined to run as an alternative to President Joe Biden or Vice President Harris in 2024.

After California sees how great America is they toss off the deep state....
Been trying, the steal here is more insane than people on the outside can imagine. Nobody I mean nobody likes Newsom but somehow he just keeps getting re-elected and so do allll of his commie friends. The new map where CA is mostly red is 100% true maybe even more red in real life. There are a lot of brain dead liberals here but when the entire government, city officials, DAs, and so fourth are all in the same deep state club your voice gets ignored, your petitions never go anywhere its disgusting.
LA has a new Republican DA so will see what happens. I dont live in LA but thats the epicenter of liberal hell.
