  • The California Legislature commenced a special session called by Gov. Newsom mean to "Trump proof" the state, but some leaders urged focus on economic issues facing residents, such as the cost of living.

The article from the Los Angeles Times discusses how California lawmakers are initiating a special legislative session to counteract potential policies from former President Donald Trump should he return to office. This session, led by Democratic leaders in the state, aims to protect California's progressive policies on issues like immigration, environmental regulations, and healthcare. The urgency stems from Trump's previous term where he implemented policies that directly conflicted with California's stance on these matters. Key actions include reinforcing sanctuary state laws, preparing for potential federal funding cuts, and ensuring state laws can withstand federal challenges. The session reflects California's proactive approach to safeguard its values and autonomy against what they perceive as threats from a Trump administration.
