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’.”

Old Gavin Baby must be blind. Didn't he notice the Dems only control the counties on the coast. There's a whole lot of California real estate that is Trump country. Of course, we can give Gruesome the benefit of the doubt. He could be color blind to a particular shade of RED! Oh, how I wait for this man's comeuppance.

Close down All federal Institutions in California, Lay off all California Federal Employees, prohibit California from participating in any Federal programs. Cancel all Federal Contracts with California!

As a Californian, I despise Newsom and his idiotic policies as much as everybody here does.
But I think these legal actions will surely fail, because the lawsuits will be executed by Attorney General Bonta, who has lost all his cases before the Supreme Court before (as I recall).
$25 million taxpayer dollars, thrown into the Pacific.

California is billions of dollars in the red. They spend billions supporting illegals as a sanctuary state. They are a sanctuary for LGBTQ + and Trans, supporting the transition of children. California has many oppressive laws in their claimed attempts to be "free". They are driving away normal people in droves as nobody can afford to love in California due to the taxes. $25,000,000.00 for anti Trump lawsuits is chump change and just another California dream and fantasy.

Hey Gavin, while you tilt at windmills and bankrupt your state and abandon your constituents hoping to posture for 2028 you forget Donald is the Trump card.

From whom did Gavin borrow the money? California is buried so far in debt that the next earthquake will have nothing to destroy.

Slick move except California doesn't have the money. And by all means close the spigot of federal funds going to a rogue state.

If ever you doubted that Newscum is running in 2028...here you have it...he's trying to look powerful and able to counter President Trump...it's so obvious....and Californians need to remember all their hardships under the Newscum dictatorship....always rule for the peasants but not for the ruling class....still amazes me how Kimberly Guilford was ever married to this pretender to the throne...he's so full of himself....

Why only $25 million?
If Gavin truly believed in his cause, he would use his own money....and maybe a couple hundred million from Aunt Nancy.

This is the type of stuff very closed minded and myopic people do and this should be how it's viewed and treated by the WH and the RNC.
CA has determined they want to be hostile to possible solutions and assistance all under the guise of "defending our values".
When Democrats use the word "our" they don't mean all of us but their version in a partisan way.
When Republicans ran the state things were much better overall.
The Dems still have a super majority so they don't ever need a Republican for any spending plan or legislation. It's all been on them over the past 15+ years.

Hey Gavin, what happened to all your happy talk about that you didn't care who people voted for, you cared about them? Ha!

So basically, more lawfare against an incoming administration. I have a hunch the Trump Admin will be looking into the goings on in CA under the lousy leadership of Gavin the Greasy.
