Democrats in the state legislature have come to a $50 million agreement to ready defense against some Trump administration policies, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/subscriber.politicopro.com\/article\/2025\/01\/newsom-and-legislative-leaders-strike-50m-deal-to-trump-proof-california-00197729\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"report\">report<\/a> from <em>Politico<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The deal would provide $25 million for the California Department of Justice to levy legal challenges to Trump policies, as Gov.

Scott Wiener told the outlet in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>The legislature&rsquo;s continued focus on combatting Trump before he takes office, as the wildfires still rage in Los Angeles, has been heavily criticized by Republican lawmakers in the state. State Assembly Republican Leader James Gallagher blasted the reported deal in a statement Sunday evening.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;At a time when California should be laser focused on responding to the devastating wildfires in LA, Democrat lawmakers&rsquo; priority is creating a $50 million slush fund to hire government lawyers for hypothetical fights against the federal government and to defend criminal illegal immigrants from being returned to their home countries,&rdquo; Gallagher <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/J_GallagherAD3\/status\/1878599444003959053\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"said\">said<\/a> in a post on X. &ldquo;The disconnect between what Californians need and what Democrats are focused on is astounding.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Newsom and California Democrats have made their opposition to Trump known, with the governor and the president-elect engaged in a war of words over the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/no-spike-in-florida-coronavirus-cases-despite-no-mask-mandate\/\" title=\"No Spike in Florida Coronavirus Cases Despite No Mask Mandate\">state&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s handling of wildfires with the new infernos in Los Angeles. <\/p>\n<p>Despite the feud, Newsom has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"invited\">invited<\/a> Trump to visit the Golden State to see the devastation of the wildfires firsthand.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p> <script data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/cdn-cgi\/scripts\/5c5dd728\/cloudflare-static\/email-decode.min.js\"><\/script><script>!function(){var g=window;g.googletag=g.googletag||{},g.googletag.cmd=g.googletag.cmd||[],g.googletag.cmd.push(function(){g.googletag.pubads().setTargeting(\"has-featured-video\",\"true\")})}();<\/script><script>var _bp=_bp||[];_bp.push({\"div\":\"Brid_1933979\",\"obj\":{\"id\":\"27789\",\"width\":\"1280\",\"height\":\"720\",\"stickyDirection\":\"below\",\"video\":\"1933979\"}});<\/script><script defer src=\"https:\/\/services.brid.tv\/player\/build\/brid.min.js\"><\/script><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Democrats allocate $50 million to oppose Trump amid wildfires<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2638,"featured_media":2389632,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/california-legislature-special-session-trump-proof.webp","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[3685,6513,5894,3634,23907],"class_list":["post-2389631","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-democrats","tag-funding","tag-politics","tag-trump","tag-wildfires"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/california-legislature-special-session-trump-proof.webp","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389631","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2638"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2389631"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389631\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2389635,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2389631\/revisions\/2389635"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2389632"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2389631"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2389631"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2389631"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
