California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) sent a letter Friday to Congress asking for $40 billion in funding for fire relief — two weeks after signing $50 million in spending to fight the Trump administration on immigration and other policies.
As Breitbart News reported, “Both bills were passed after a special legislative session called by Newsom after the election to prepare California to lead the opposition to the second Trump administration. Newsom and the Democrat-controlled legislature reached a deal to fund the anti-Trump effort even as the Palisades Fire and Eaton Fire were still smoldering in Los Angeles.”

I see gruesome newsome is trying to “Trump proof” his state but he also wants federal funding. Sorry, but he can’t have it both ways.
I wonder what kind of creepy critters would be uncovered if a DOGE-like neural network was set lose on the California Treasury department’s inflow and outflow ledger.
“Make no mistake, those federal tax dollars will be used wisely,” Newsom wrote.
<><>he wants an additional $16.8B from FEMA, for rebuilding property and infrastructure,
<><>another $5 billion from FEMA is earmarked for debris cleanup.
<><>$9.9B from HUD is for grants to fire victims, homeowners, businesses and renters,
<><>and $5.29B from the SBA is for homeowner and business loans.
Plus unspecified billions of set-asides, earmarked for Newsom’s presidential campaign.
Newsom is going the way of Joy Reid soon.
Send $750 per victim household, no more.
What an egomaniac
Pick any situation, any event, any proposal, any problem and you can bet greaser Nuisance will decide on the worst solution. This ass wipe probably never worked a day in his life doesn’t know how to make money, only knows how to spend yours, and poorly at best. He’s got the Pelosi genes after all.
Bingo
OK-——the FEMA limit.
OK-——the FEMA limit.
Ask away, free to ask but nothing is coming. Either preconditions or direct payment to contractors or Army corps engineers. Newscum not in the loop. Corrupt local officials not in the loop.
Newsom needs to request the money from Kamala Harris “endorsers”, donors and supporters in Hollyweird or just get it out right from Georgy “The Nazi” Soros. Georgy is one of their big money billionaires.
Nope.
And money from the government needs to come with strings attached and accountability.
No free money to launder as you please.
Sure, since CA is such a shining example of fiscal responsibility.
The Babylon Bee is going to be out of business soon.
Nope, hard pass.
Best we can do is for you to use your Trump Proof money, Gruesome!
WITH oversight!!!
$40 billion?
Tell ya what, Newsome: let’s play Quid pro Quo...
We’ll give you $1000 - for every illegal residing in CA being turned over to ICE for deporting.
Sound fair?
Newsom seems to have forgotten what Trump said about Voter ID in California.
Give NewScum the fire relief money but with a very thick string of DOGE oversite.
[[Without Oversight]]
Oh h3ck no!
