Newsom Threatens 100% Tax on Trump Fund Payouts to Californians
TL;DR
California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he would tax 100% of any money Californians receive from President Trump’s $1.776‑billion “anti-weaponization” fund, a move that would require legislative action and could face legal challenges. He spoke as he signed Senate Bill 73, which bars law enforcement from seizing ballots and imposes fines and up to three years in jail for violations, and he warned federal agencies like ICE/Border Patrol against intimidating voters near Dodger Stadium. Newsom argued Trump will continue to interfere with elections, signaling a broader fight over election security and political funding.
