California Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday that his administration will seek to impose a 100 percent tax on any California residents who receive money from President Donald Trump’s newly created $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization” fund.
Speaking to reporters, Newsom denounced the fund as a “slush fund” and pledged to block Californians from financially benefiting from it.
“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100 percent of those proceeds,” Newsom said during a press conference.
“He pardoned all of those folks that were beating up cops and absolved them, providing them 1.776 billion dollars,” Newsom said. “So not only do you get a pardon, you get rewarded. That’s why this is needed.”
The fund was established as part of Trump’s settlement with the Department of Justice stemming from his lawsuit against the IRS over the leak of his tax returns.
Trump has described the program as restitution for Americans harmed by what he called politically motivated government actions during the Biden administration.
Last week, Trump defended the fund as compensation for people “badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration.”
Democrats in several blue states are now attempting to block recipients from keeping any payouts tied to the program.
In New York, Democratic Assemblyman Alex Bores introduced legislation that would similarly impose a 100 percent tax on recipients of the fund.
State Sen. Mike Gianaris said Democrats in Albany are pushing to advance the measure before the legislative session ends next week.
“There’s widespread, bipartisan agreement that this is baldfaced corruption at its worst and if we have the ability in New York to combat it by ensuring that none of this money benefits anyone in our state’s borders, I’d expect there’d be widespread support for that idea,” Gianaris said.
Democratic lawmakers in New Jersey are also drafting similar legislation.
State Sen. Andrew Zwicker called the proposal “a brilliant counter move to Trump’s corruption.”

Not shocked....Nope, not a bit.
The democommies really do desire to be dictators for life. IIRC, there are a few obstacles to this nonsense in the laws and statutes of this nation.
Newsom lies, like all democommies.
Something about states garnishing federal payments... I think there’s federal laws about that.
Another sign of a country breaking up into radically different fiefdoms where traveling from one to another is going to an entirely different nation.
And I suppose he’ll send the weaponized power of the state to collect his thievious money grab.
That’s not a tax…
This proves that liberals target conservatives. It illustrates exactly why the fund is necessary.
Move away from California first… Then apply for the funds
They want a civil war.
They will get one.
It’s time for Trump to go full Pinochet.
Sounds like a bill of attainder, which is prohibited by the constitution.
They’d take everything if they could.
I will not be satisfied until every last Democrat is dead.
I just had a thought.
Democrats like fraud so much.
Why don’t they just send their Somalians to collect this Trump fund.
What a vindictive sunt!
Little sister
That’s not all Newsom’s been up to...

🚨 Gavin Newsom just signed a law ensuring his rigged elections won’t be audited or protecting illegals going to polling stations to vote
He signed Senate Bill 73
- Prohibits law enforcement and armed personnel from guarding polling places
- Makes it illegal for law enforcement agencies to seize ballots from election offices
- Requires law enforcement to obtain a warrant before taking lists of registered voters or voting machines (Democrats control the courts, so that won’t ever be issued)
Let me break this down for you for what it really means
- ICE at polling places would deter illegals from going to vote
- Democrats don’t want law enforcement to take ballots and investigate fraud
- Electronic voting machines are rigging elections for Democrats so Newsom is making it illegal to check their records
Gavin Newsom is literally telling you Democrats are rigging California elections
Let’s not forget he made checking ID illegal
