California Governor Gavin Newsom calls special session to prepare fight against Trump measures

The only ‘problem’ it will solve is Gavin Newsom’s insecurity that not enough people are paying attention to him,

Republican leader of the state Assembly James Gallagher said in a statement about the special session

Mike McGuire, Democratic state Senate president pro tempore, said in a statement

I want to be very clear that while we honor the results of this election and will work with anyone who wants to be a partner in achieving the goals of our administration in our state, that does not mean we'll accept an agenda from Washington that strips away the rights that New Yorkers have long enjoyed,

Hochul said Wednesday

The funding will support the ability to immediately file litigation and seek injunctive relief against unlawful federal actions,

Acknowledging it was still unclear which party will control the House, Jeffries added

I’m a very honest person. I’ve never broken a law. I’ve lived a life of ethics because I’ve been a prosecutor. You can talk to people that worked for me — I’m obsessive about it. All of these charges are completely false, ridiculously exaggerated."

The former mayor rejected the charges against him, saying

She has commanded a ton of respect amongst the staff, as well as loyalty. She doesn’t play games. And she means what she says: On the campaign, she said we are checking egos at the door and held everyone to it,

The freedoms we hold dear in California are under attack — and we won’t sit idle,

Newsom, who reportedly has ambitions on the national stage, said in a statement

Let there be no mistake, we intend to stand with states across our nation to defend our Constitution and uphold the rule of law.”

After Trump’s win, Newsom vowed to work with the president-elect but added
