California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) is asking the federal government for nearly $40 billion in fire relief — while suing and attacking the Trump administration — and he believes the aid will be without conditions.

Initial relief after the devastating January wildfires in Southern California had been authorized by the outgoing Biden administration, then extended by the “continuing resolution” budget deal in Congress.

But California needs more, and additional spending is expected in a supplemental relief bill. As Breitbart News has reported, Newsom is asking for nearly $40 billion — while spending $50 million to fight Trump.

Newsom has also launched new attacks on Trump, most recently suing the administration over its new tariffs. The governor has been willing to sue to block policies on a national level, while seeking federal assistance.

Newsom has maintained that he can do both, and CalMatters suggests that he still believes he will, because pressure from the Trump administration on issues like voting reform and water management is waning:

A $40 Billion check to a corrupt liberal Dem state government ... nope.  They shouldn't have wasted all those billions on illegal foreign entrants.

Let California submit itemized bills or work orders for recovery work for reimbursement from the Feds.

Money supply needs to be limited to have any value.  Liberal Dems will only value public dollars if they have fewer of them to waste on nonsense.
