BREAKING: California Governor Gavin Newsom goes for Donald Trump's jugular by asking his state legislature for a staggering $25 million to fund legal fights with the incoming MAGA administration.
Newsom is a fighter and he's ready for war...
"The new litigation fund will help safeguard critical funding for disaster relief, health care, and other vital services that millions of Californians depend on daily," Newsom wrote in his proposal.
He explained that California will "defend against unlawful federal actions that could jeopardize not only tangible resources and the state’s economy" as well as reproductive and civil rights.
Newsom's announcement rang in the first day of a special session of the California legislature specifically geared towards preparing the overwhelmingly blue state for Trump's second term.
If the legislature approves the measure, the California Department of Justice and state agencies would be able to use the additional funding to pay for costly court battles on the aforementioned key areas.
The federal government is a juggernaut and without this funding, California may struggle to put out fires on numerous fronts.
For context, the state spent $42 million supporting legal fights in Trump's first term and filed over 120 lawsuits challenging the far-right administration.
Governor Newsom's proactiveness should be celebrated and replicated by other Democratic states.
Now is not the time to lie down and accept defeat. Now is the time to fight!

Here’s a question for all the incel dumbfucks in my replies telling me to “cry harder” right now.
Do you actually think your utterly unexceptional loser idiot paycheck to paycheck uneducated asses are gonna thrive under a dictator?
Do you really, really fucking think that?
Are you that fucking dumb?
LIKE IT OR NOT: The stock market’s hitting record highs, inflation is cooling, food prices are dropping, gas is more affordable, crime is trending down, and prescription drug costs are finally seeing cuts.
All of this didn’t just happen by accident—it’s a direct result of the Biden-Harris administration’s policies.
Facts over feelings.
Thanks Trump is trending...
President Joe Biden is the one who achieved peace in the Middle East

Call me crazy, but shouldn’t we take the same standard FBI background check required for every federal employee or contractor seeking a security clearance — and apply it to ALL cabinet nominees?
If you fail the background check, you’re eliminated.

BREAKING: Democratic star Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett takes a stand against Donald Trump’s fascist caveman pick for Border Czar and demands a confirmation process.
This is how you fight the MAGA regime…
“I do think that if they are going to implore him with the type of power that he believes that he’s going to have, then he should absolutely be confirmed by the Senate,” Crockett said of Trump’s pick Tom Homan.
“At the end of the day, he should have to go through the same level of scrutiny if he is going to get this type of power,” she added.
Homan, who served as the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), has promised fire and brimstone and intends to carry out Trump’s cruel mass deportation operation.
A hearing process will allow the American people to get a good long look at this monster — and hopefully reject him outright.

BREAKING: Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum hits back hard at Donald Trump with a dire warning after he announces his disastrous tariffs — and breaks down exactly how idiotic his idea is.
This is what a real leader sounds like...
"Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs," she wrote in a letter to Trump which she read at a press conference.
"Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she added.
"One tariff will follow another and so on, until we put our common businesses at risk," she correctly predicted. Trump's suggestion that he will implement a 25% tariff on Mexico and Canada is utterly moronic and will only succeed at skyrocketing prices.
"I am convinced that North America’s economic strength lies in maintaining our trade partnership. This allows us to remain competitive against other economic blocs," she continued.
"For this reason, I believe that dialogue is the best path to understanding, peace, and prosperity for our nations. I hope our teams can meet soon to continue building joint solutions," Sheinbaum added.

@tribelaw Not that it seems to matter, but we have been so gaslit that no one finds it strange that a candidate who has pledged to be a dictator for a day contrary to the constitution, will take an oath swearing fealty to it. And life goes on with no protest, challenge or gasp.
Not that anyone’s going to do anything about it, but it might be good to remember that, as an adjudicated oath-breaking insurrectionist, Mr.Trump is constitutionally disqualified under Sec. 3 of 14th Am from taking the oath as president on 1/20/25 unless 2/3 of both houses lift the disqualification
My Republican colleagues have got to stop punching down on already-marginalized communities and face their own fears of a level playing field privately.
I'm wholly opposed to the "Dismantle Diversity Equity and Inclusion Act."
There is significant evidence to suggest that when Pam Bondi was the Attorney General of Florida she was bribed by Donald Trump to avoid an investigation into fraud at Trump University. https://t.co/kJELMQG2kL
