Gov. Newsom Initiates Special Session to Shield California from Trump Policies

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special legislative session to prepare for potential policy changes under a possible second Trump presidency. Alongside Attorney General Rob Bonta, Newsom aims to protect California's liberal policies, focusing on civil rights, reproductive freedom, climate action, and immigrant protections. Bonta has been coordinating with other state attorneys general and has drafted litigation to counter expected federal actions. The move has been criticized by some as a political stunt, but Newsom insists it's necessary to safeguard California values.
