Democratic governors are signaling their willingness to defy the new Trump administration, vowing to protect freedoms in their states and to wage legal and political battle if the president-elect follows through with controversial proposals.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said the Golden State is “ready to fight” and called a special section of the state Legislature after Trump’s win.
Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) promised that if “you come for my people, you come through me.”
In Massachusetts, Gov. Maura Healey (D) pledged her state’s law enforcement will not assist the Trump administration if it goes through with mass deportation plans.
The messages, some of which come from possible 2028 contenders, harken back to the first Trump term, when big Democratic states repeatedly sparred with the White House. They also suggest a long campaign as ambitious Democrats tout their willingness to take on Trump at home and across the country.

Fine.....cut ant Federal subsidies or payments to those states.
Power of the purse strings.
It’s their start of 2028
Fight what? Tax cuts?
Cut there funding off...
The same tyrants who locked down their states during Covid—arrested hairdressers and gym owners, shot paint balls at people on their porches, closes small retail stores but let big box storers stay open, put Covid patients in with old people in nursing homes, wouldn’t let you comfort your dying loved ones, kept kids from school, and forced vaccines on their people.
Exactly.
No problem as long as they don’t want federal funds. 😉
Good.
That’s called “Insurrection”.
The last administration set the precedent for how to deal with it.
I look forward to OUR side exercising that option now.
Murphy wants to have a shootout protecting illegals.
Yawn. f’in losers . I’m sensing there’s going to be a lot less support for their faux-courageous “resistance” this time around
Heading toward civil war.
“Resistance” was a bad term if Alex Jones used it.
This is merely refusal to follow the law. There is no such thing as “sanctuary” no matter what the media and the Dems push as propaganda.
The Dems are traitors. Enemies of the people. Evil. Demonic.
And they have a bad side, too.
Bus every illegal to San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York and Boston
Cram their policies down their throats!
So these rebel states don’t recognize the authority of the federal government?
So then the Dem traitors will be “hanging” around. 😉
Not enough rope or light poles …
Yet
Yeah Trump is in no mood this time around.
He already learned that any type of gesture to dems is worthless.
It would have been fixed by now but for Ryan, Cantor, McConnell and that ilk. But possibly it would not have been. I was thinking today about the Tea Party where all this began. The wheels grind slowly they say. So maybe it is right on time where people can see now.
