From Politico:"Gov. Gavin Newsom and state legislative leaders have agreed to set aside $50 million to defend California — as well as immigrants facing deportation — in court against the incoming Trump White House, according to two people with knowledge of the negotiations."
"The deal, struck through a special legislative session Newsom called to shore up the state’s legal defenses, includes $25 million he sought for state Department of Justice litigation against the federal government. It also contains $25 million state Senate leaders wanted for grants to nonprofit legal groups and centers that support immigrants who are at risk of deportation, detention and wage theft."
If Newsome ran his state properly he wouldn't need to "Trump-proof" it.
DeSantis:
"We are going to need legislation to impose additional duties and provide funding for those local officials."
"There also needs to be measures to hold people accountable."
"I'm going to call the legislature into special session starting Jan. 27. We anticipate executive orders to be issued immediately [on Jan. 20]. We need to act, and we need to act quickly. The American people spoke very clearly."
Meanwhile in California, while the wildfires continue, they are working to 'Trump Proof' California and put aside money to defend in court illegals facing deportation:

That’s because of what the California legislators did.
One of the few times where I don’t think you can blame the insurance company.
I read that SF pulled out after CA refused, once again, to do any wildfire remediation AND approve a rate increase that SF applied for. Whoever made that decision to pull out of CA at State Farm probably just received a very large bonus. While unfortunate, I don't blame State Farm or any insurance company refusing to do business in a state that will put the company and its policyholders at risk of financial hardship.Exactly. Regulators made it a bad place to do business so business left. Unfortunate timing for sure but was the government's fault as usual.
I can’t help but notice every “community organizer” is just a racist black person who yells racism all the time.
Can't say I blame them, especially if they had received information that the fire hazard had went up due to prevention and maintenance incompetence.
I remember being in LA 10 years ago and thought it was pretty windy.Having no intellectual ability to recognize that it is a combination of everything you mentioned AND climate change that led to the second largest city in America burning to the ground today....is the problem.
Human error and poor preparation alone did not lead to this apocalypse.
You are completely ignoring the 80 mph hurricane force winds.... Record rainfall deficit.... and bone dry conditions resulting from global warming that made this scenario possible.
Being a straight white fire chief with full water hydrants and a few million more in the budget was not ever gonna stop this fire from spreading given the dry ass conditions and hurricane force winds.
It's complex.... which is why right wing media preys on simple people by giving them simple explanations like blaming it all on a fire chief's sexual identity and a tight budget.
It's way more complicated than that.
Why did Drumpf build all those houses in a known fire zone and make the wind blow like that every year and spend billions on illegals while neglecting fire infrastructure and then go off to Africa during a fire warning and then why didn’t he do anything to help before his inauguration?
Why?
I believe the phrase here is "tone-deaf".Biden said he pushed for Secret Service agents to the border...they beat Medicare...the vote doesn't mean they didn't like Biden's policies. This is the Dems A-Team
I'd bet the mortgage on:
He lost me at "Americans are complex beings..."Biden said he pushed for Secret Service agents to the border...they beat Medicare...the vote doesn't mean they didn't like Biden's policies. This is the Dems A-Team
I often shake my head in wonderment when I ponder the far left, and the world/mind space that they live in. It's like they drift around, completely unaware of reality. They're like tumbleweeds; no useful purpose, and always in the way.
I'd bet the mortgage on:
birkenstock clogs
granola in the pantry
and a Subaru in the garage
it’s about time that someone called these guys out for their racism.C.Orgis are the mostest racist. They feed off of it and feed others with it
I hear her accusing them of falsehoods, but not her blaming them as the quote states.
It’s utterly defeating to watch this and see that some people are irredeemably stupid. There’s no hope for that person.
If you're claiming the climate is changing drastically, why aren't you doing anything within your immediate jurisdictions to mitigate its effects? CO2 level is not within their immediate purview.True.... But at some point completely ignoring all of the data and evidence tied to it.... makes it harder and harder to sound intelligent when claiming
nothing is happening with our climate.
I haven't seen/heard data on that - meaning the large devastating fires, not those started later where arsonists were caught. I mean CA wild fires have been occurring for centuries. Yes, CA State hasn't done much to mitigate them. Please share. Thanks.We know the fires were man made.
I agree with VP-elect JD.![]()
JD Vance spells out what Trump's process to 'rectify' 'unfair' Jan 6 prosecutions could look like
VP-elect JD Vance said peaceful protesters who were victimized by the Justice Department should be pardoned while those who acted violently will be held to a different standard.www.foxnews.com
Anti-Ukrainians want to believe this so badly they'll take any source w/o checking.
Physician assistants are highly-trained, effective, medical personnel She should have saved her reputation.Karen Bass was a physician's assistant and community organizer. Of course that's who'd you want to hire to run the country's second largest city.
Once again, more proof that liberal white women are the worst beings on the planet.
Agree. It's what diversity hires do to all people in those classifications - hurting the competent ones too.One of the negative outcomes from DEI bullshit, and lefties that value skin color above all else, is this fire chief does seem like she was actually semi competent, though everyone assumes the exact opposite because she’s a lesbian, and since LA politicians would value that above all else, they think she was solely an incompetent diversity hire (like the mayor).
Hopefully we’re finally moving past the age of valuing skin color and sexual orientation over competency.
And agree to aid in the deportations of illegals.Yes, conditions need to be put in place for aid. Liberal policies caused this, they have to commit to changing their ways.
I assume Dandy Andy will do the same thing. Certainly should be questioned on it.

It is now generally agreed that fireworks started the original fire. FD was dispatched to tamp the earlier fire down...but in DEI fashion, they did a shitty job and the fire smoldered back to life. There is photo evidence of this. So Man-made Fireworks is the cause.I haven't seen/heard data on that - meaning the large devastating fires, not those started later where arsonists were caught. I mean CA wild fires have been occurring for centuries. Yes, CA State hasn't done much to mitigate them. Please share. Thanks.
Today's youth have just completely lost the farm.
I vote. When I need a new vehicle I will go hybrid. I am not for the immediate removal of fossil fuel usage.... But it is a direction we should be gradually moving towards if what the scientists say is correct. I do believe many of their views are correct based on the research and data.If you're claiming the climate is changing drastically, why aren't you doing anything within your immediate juristictions to midigate its effects? CO2 level is not within their immediate purview.
Do you remember hurricane force winds??I remember being in LA 10 years ago and thought it was pretty windy.
As a matter of fact I was there 25 years ago and thought it was windy as well.
But muh climate change!!
You are better at this when it is only TDS.
Ignorance is bliss isn't it??No, they don't.
