A U.S. federal judge said Donald Trump can’t deploy the California National Guard in Los Angeles, the latest setback in his administration’s bid to use soldiers to respond to civilian protests. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/12/11/world/politics/trump-la-national-guard-ruling/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #us #usmilitary #donaldtrump #california #losangeles #gavinnewsom #immigration

#Trump to propose opening #California Coast to #oil #drilling for the first time in roughly 4 decades, acc/to 3 people.
The move would set up a confrontation with Gov #GavinNewsom, a #Democrat who has fought #OffshoreDrilling & who has emerged as one of Trump’s chief political antagonists. Newsom is in Brazil for the #UN #climate summit, where he is drawing a contrast between himself & Trump, who denigrates efforts to fight #GlobalWarming.

Just 10 months into U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term, key Democrats are already starting to look ahead to the race to replace him in 2028. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/27/world/politics/harris-newsom-2028-campaign/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #kamalaharris #gavinnewsom #jdvance #us #donaldtrump #republicans #democrats

Los Angeles County was under a state of emergency Wednesday, declared over federal immigration raids, in the latest effort to push back on President Donald Trump's hard-line policies. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/10/16/world/politics/la-emergency-immigration-raids/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #losangeles #california #ice #immigration #us #donaldtrump #republicans #gavinnewsom
Update. Forgot to add this important response last week:
https://www.gov.ca.gov/2025/10/02/governor-newsom-no-state-funding-for-sell-out-universities/
"Governor #GavinNewsom today [Oct 2] issued the following statement in response to the White House’s proposed “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” which ties access to federal funding to radical conservative ideological restrictions on colleges and universities: IF ANY CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY SIGNS THIS RADICAL AGREEMENT, THEY’LL LOSE BILLIONS IN STATE FUNDING — INCLUDING CAL GRANTS — INSTANTLY. CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BANKROLL SCHOOLS THAT SELL OUT THEIR STUDENTS, PROFESSORS, RESEARCHERS, AND SURRENDER ACADEMIC FREEDOM."

Mamdani et Newsom, les deux visages de la contre-offensive démocrate face à Trump
En novembre, #ZohranMamdani, situé à la gauche du #PartiDémocrate, pourrait être élu maire de #NewYork. Plus à l’ouest géographiquement et plus centriste politiquement, #GavinNewsom, gouverneur de #Californie, défie Trump sur le terrain numérique. Tous deux veulent réveiller leur parti.

TIL who Republican megadonor Charles T. Munger Jr is.
He snail-mailed a 4 page flyer to my house explaining why California countering the Texas gerrymander (that will potentially protect Trump from a 3rd impeachment) is a BAD THING.
Given the messenger, now I'm thinking California's counter is a GOOD THING.
The governors of another three Republican-led U.S. states have deployed National Guard troops to Washington in support of an extraordinary move by U.S. President Donald Trump to flood the city with soldiers. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/20/world/politics/governors-national-guard-washington-trump/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #nationalguard #washington #us #donaldtrump #republicans #california #gavinnewsom

This November, Californians can vote to re-district their state to fight back against the Republican-led effort in Texas and other states to rig the 2026 Midterms, which will destroy democracy. #riggedelections #california #gavinnewsom

In California, Trump has cast doubt on whether he will approve the $40 billion Gov. Newsom has requested to help pay for recovery costs associated with the LA fires, including $16.8 billion from FEMA to rebuild property and remove debris.
