The Democrat-run California legislature is involved in a “special session” to focus on “special issues.” Well, those special issues were soon extinguished by news coming out of LA. In a move that Politico tells readers is “the first of its kind in the nation,” California legislature under Governor Newsome is looking to Trump-proof the state.
