California Rallies Against Trump's Policies with Legal and Legislative Action

California Democrats, led by Governor Gavin Newsom, are preparing for potential legal battles with the Trump administration as he returns to the White House. Newsom has called a special session to secure funding for the state's Department of Justice to challenge expected federal rollbacks on issues like reproductive rights, immigration, and environmental protections. The session aims to allocate up to $100 million for litigation. Republican lawmakers criticize the move as politically motivated, while California braces for impacts on environmental policies, homelessness programs, and public education funding.
