California's Newsom Rallies State Against Trump Policies

California Governor Gavin Newsom has called a special legislative session to prepare for potential challenges under a second Trump administration. The session, starting December 2, aims to increase funding for the state's Department of Justice and other executive departments to file legal challenges against Trump's actions and defend state policies. This move signals California's intent to act as a frontline defense against federal actions perceived as threats to state values and rights. Attorney General Rob Bonta has also outlined plans to counter potential federal restrictions on mailing abortion pills.
