Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Thursday that they were readying to "protect California values" against the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, whose first term in office presented an onslaught of challenges to the policy agenda of Democratic leaders in the state.
Newsom, a fierce critic of Trump, called for lawmakers to convene a special session later this year to safeguard the state's progressive policies on climate change, reproductive rights and immigration ahead of another Trump presidency.
The move — a day after the former president resoundingly defeated Vice President Kamala Harris in the presidential race — effectively reignited California's resistance campaign against conservative policies that state Democratic leaders started during the first Trump administration.
"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. "California has faced this challenge before, and we know how to respond. We are prepared to fight in the courts, and we will do everything necessary to ensure Californians have the support and resources they need to thrive."
Execution of a plan to fortify the state's priorities, Newsom said, would begin Dec. 2 with the launch of a special legislative session to address the issue, the second special session the governor announced this year after an earlier move to bring lawmakers back to discuss the high cost of gas.

“California Values”
OMG even the Bee couldn’t do a better job on this one.
Federal Marshals should sweep down on Sacramento and arrest the top dem echelon power-brokers and go though their books with a microscope. Newsom and his cronies are running a racket.
If Newsom is so enraged about the upcoming Trump administration, he should immediately refuse the 173 Billion Dollars California receives each year in Federal funding.
Then he can go...
(self edited here)
Trump said he will cut off money to sanctuary states.
Newscum is throwing a fit!
No more money to pocket for the democrats.
He will do th same in Oregon.
Haredoo’s first 2028 move.
Transit systems in California are near collapse. The only keeping them going are the expected Federal funding alotments, which cover probably half of expenses. Pull that, and the residents of the metro areas will rise up against Newsom and his woke politics. Pelosi and Feinstein were largely responsible for bringing federal taxdollars to California. Feinstein is gone, and Pelosi lost power. Newsom is in a bad position.
Insurrection.
Newscum is probably the happiest guy in the democrat party, with Kamala now branded as a loser, Obama discredited, Biden in lala-land and an empty bench for 2028. He was smart not to let himself get thrown into this briar patch.
Sounds like a declaration of seccession from a small group of pedos.
I really pray for a time when a...somewhat sane “Democrat” can be the opposition. I hope he fails to ever achieve anything close to the presidency.
Newsom is trying to distract that the policies he supports will shortly raise gas prices .65 cents a gallon in California.
Newsom will blame Trump for that... you know he will.
Great idea..this will further cement Newsom’s far left ideologies and can be used as ads against him in 2028.
So how’s that high-speed rail project going that they took federal money for? Have they finished or paid that back yet? - the questions are rhetorical...I know the answer.
Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Thursday that they were readying to “protect taxpayer kickbacks” against the incoming administration of President-elect Donald Trump, whose first term in office presented an onslaught of challenges to the net worth of Democratic leaders in the state.
I live in Ca. and I say NO MORE federal money EXCEPT natural disasters where people are suffering!!! SCREW YOU NEWSCUM!!!
I love the way the fag, RAT governors have all of a sudden turned into Billy Bad Ass. Pritzker. The Chicongo lard ass is already talking like he is going to whip Trump’s ass if he comes after his people. Why don’t the fat biatch do something to stop the people that come after his people every weekend and send them to the morgue. Pritzker needs to shut his big sissy boy mouth before President Trump puts a foot in it. If he wants to impress the hairy-chested female baby killers, he should go brush his teeth first.
The governor elect in Washington, former attorney general of the state, is promising to “protect “ the state from DJT. I would like to ask him where he was when Jay Inslee was grinding his boot on the face of small businesses and the middle class during the COVID reign of terror. And where he was when armed terrorists seized several blocks in Seattle, murdered some people and burned a police station.
The freedoms they “value”. What freedoms are they. The ones where the government steals your money and tells you how to live. Bug off Newsom, you jerk.
California was once America. California is now vast Red spaces containing Tax Slaves.
Where is Zorro?
