President Donald Trump has begun his war against Democrat-dominated, left-wing California, according to the New York Times, enacting six policies against the state in the space of just 24 hours last week.
The Trump administration waited to take on Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), initially, because of the devastation of the January 7 wildfires in Los Angeles.
However, that did not stop Newsom from spending $50 million to fight Trump, even while asking for federal aid.
The Times reports on what happened next — on Thursday, March 26:
The U.S. Education Department announced early in the West Coast morning that it would challenge a major state law protecting transgender students. Two hours later came the revocation of federal waivers that had let California colleges include undocumented students in certain programs that receive federal aid.
The afternoon brought a flurry of investigations into suspected affirmative action in California higher education: The Justice Department said it would investigate whether Stanford University and three schools in the University of California system were violating a Supreme Court decision that banned the consideration of race in admissions. Then the Health and Human Services Department said it was looking into accusations of similar discrimination at “a major medical school in California.”
By sundown, the Agriculture Department had sent Gov. Gavin Newsom a letter saying it would review its education-related funding in California in connection with transgender protections. And the Justice Department announced that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department was under investigation for allegedly taking too long to approve applications for concealed-carry permits.

The Trump administration and the Republican Congress have committed to including a Special Master in future funding for California fire aid to make sure that any money is spent properly and not wasted on other priorities.
This type of oversight should be, and should have been, in place for any and all government spending.
Why is it not?
Someone is collecting a paycheck to oversee these grants, loans, and funds.
Expose them, and fire them.
Good!
I compare this to something akin to cleaning up a teenage boys bedroom.
Oh Boo Hoo, Old Gray Whore!
Let’s see. This ‘war’ on California includes: not letting colleges use federal money for illegal aliens, not allow colleges to discriminate against whites and Asians, and not requiring girls and women to put up with pretend girls and women in their locker rooms.
That isn’t so much a war against California, but rather a war against what is proclaimed “California values’.
A war on evil stupidity
“Then the Health and Human Services Department said it was looking into accusations of similar discrimination at “a major medical school in California.”
If you’re a white male, forget about getting into UCLA medical school. They now have a horrible reputation for the quality of the DEI butchers they have graduated over the last decade
Liberating California from One Party Rule would be a magnificent achievement.
Possible but the GOP in CA would have to reach out to Hispanics and Asians.
Whites in CA are woke so they will continue to vote blue.
Perhaps an Asian version of Trump becoming Governor in CA? He would have to come out from nowhere similar to Javier Milei.
I say pull the states charter as Null and Void, Arrest all Leadership for corruption. Appoint a Governor-General Over the state until a new Constitution is written and free and fair elections are possible. Martial Law in all cities to keep order with an edict that all Looters will be shot. They should be treated like the southern states after the Civil War.
I would appoint Mel Gibson as Governor-General.
This is nothing.
Go after illegals on Medicaid.
Look under the mattresses. I'm sure there is plenty of sneaky stuff to find about Gov. Newsom.
affirmative action at a medical school. Trump wants to end that insanity and the NYT calls it an act of war
Like the CA wine industry is complaining about the shift to their products under Trump’s tariffs. Same for OR and WA.
;^)
I wish someone in the Trump Administration would address destroyed Dams and the taking of our property and livelihood in northern California.
Please see today’s photos of our poison sludge covered land and a dead, stinking river. No one will cover this tragedy/taking. Steve Gruber on RAV proclaimed breaching Irongate a “wonderful thing” and praised the tribes.
No more picnics or camping or irrigation. No floating the river or fishing. We built a community for 75 years around our beautiful Irongate reservoir and Klamath River.
We voted NO to removing it!
Didn’t matter! We, all of our property have been sacrificed on the alter of environmental zealots and anarchists who have the nerve to say they serve democracy.
Payment from this property was my retirement income. That’s gone. They take$400 from every social security check to repay emergency catastrophe wildfire fund’s I was “given” when my community near Medford burned.
25 years of hard work and sacrifice on those properties.... GONE.
This government will take everything you have when you fight it!
Newsome arrested.
Bass and the rest of the LA shitty council arrested.
No PE firms are allowed to purchase property.
first dibs to original residents
100 year guarantee to provide water in reservoirs, and to have all brush cleared.
review of smart meter technology and how that may have exacerbated the fires
Hire American builders first. fines for each and every illegal.
No to smart city development, and screw the olymipics
California has 53 Congressmen. Only 9 of which are Republican. I asked Grok the odds of that happening by chance. 1 out of 75757. If Trump can make elections honest in California, the RATs are going to have a very difficult time recovering.
This makes no sense and has no place on a cite that is pro-U.S. Constitution. For one thing, the South was right.
