Washington, DC…Today, Governor Gavin Newsom traveled to Washington, DC to meet with President Donald Trump, Republican and Democratic members of the California Delegation along with members of the U.S. Senate. The Governor was joined by Wade Crowfoot, the Secretary of the California Natural Resources Agency, who oversees key water and fire policy across the state.
“As we approach one month since the devastating wildfires across Southern California, we continue to cut red tape to speed up recovery and clean up efforts as well as ensure rebuilding efforts are swift. We’re working across the aisle, as we always have, to ensure survivors have the resources and support they need. Thank you President Trump for coming to our communities to see this first hand, and meeting with me today to continue our joint efforts to support people impacted.”

On Capitol Hill, Governor Newsom met with members of the California Delegation to discuss the importance of obtaining federal disaster relief for the survivors of last month’s LA firestorms, including Representatives Doug LaMalfa, Ken Calvert, Judy Chu, Brad Sherman, and George Whitesides.
Afterward, Governor Newsom met with key Senate leaders: New Mexico Senator Martin Heinrich, Ranking Member of the Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources, Georgia Senator Rev. Raphael Warnock, and Washington Senator Patty Murray, Vice Chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee, who was joined by California Senators Alex Padilla and Adam Schiff.
Building on meetings on Capitol Hill, Governor Newsom had a very productive meeting with President Trump at the White House to further discuss the critical need for unconditional disaster aid for survivors. This comes after the Governor met the President on the tarmac of LAX when President Trump toured the devastation as part of his first trip as President.
During the meeting, the Governor raised the critical need for federal assistance to support recovery efforts and help impacted families rebuild, emphasizing the strong partnership between local, state and federal agencies all working together on the ground on response and recovery efforts. The Governor expressed his appreciation for the Trump Administration’s early collaboration and specifically thanked EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin for his agency’s swift action, including over 1,000 personnel on the ground focused on debris removal.
The Governor continues to take action to support the survivors across Southern California – cutting red tape, providing key relief, and ensuring bolstered support for those in need.

I had to go down on Trump, took a bullet for Calif.. Your Governor
I love the photo of Newsom walking out of Trump’s office wearing a Bib.
The new Atty Gen Bondi ordered this. Only the GOP can manipulate our elections, over 4 million legal voters surgically denied their vote- an election coup.
The FBI is preparing to disband a team of specialists charged with combating foreign threats to US elections, a source familiar tells CNN.
The shuttering of the FBI Foreign Influence Task Force and planned reassigning of team members follows a directive from incoming and newly sworn in US Attorney General Pam Bondi dissolving the team.
“To free resources to address more pressing priorities, and end risks of further weaponization and abuses of prosecutorial discretion, the Foreign Influence Task Force shall be disbanded,” Bondi wrote in a memo issued Wednesday.
The special task force was established by former FBI Director Christopher Wray in 2017 following a wave of foreign influence operations targeting the US electoral process, including Russia’s efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election that Trump won.
Wray previously said the purpose of the team was “to identify and counteract the full range of malign foreign influence operations targeting our democratic institutions and our values. The task force now brings together the FBI’s expertise across the waterfront — counterintelligence, cyber, criminal, and even counterterrorism — to root out and respond to foreign influence operations.”
A source told CNN? I thought CNN filed for bankruptcy?
Hope he told his demented criminal ass. To F—- OFF
His remarks on the Middle East. The man is a complete fool…
Fritter Headed don tests Ca farmer`s loyalty with 2 bone head moves.
#1 The don immediately started the ICE round-up of migrant farm workers in Ca groves, the pickers didn’t show up to work, now the oranges, nectarines are past ripe on the trees, a lost crop.
#2 The don released 2 billions gallons of irrigationb water from 2 so cal reservoirs, that usually irrigate farms. The water was a total waste, it didn’t go to the now out Palisades, or other fire in La county.
The don has ignored the Constitution, and laws, so many his blitzkreig assault on many agencies, including Treasury, stealing the data on all Americans from their SS data, to Medicare, medical records kept there, and more.
It appears he is imitating the 1930’s fuhrer’s assault on the German government to gain power- a coup.
In much of his language, and actions along with President musk, they are aiding America’s enemies , his Atty Gen Bondi today ended the DHS efforts to stop, track foreign manipulation of our elections.
The don and MAGA clearly are inside terrorists attacking all Americans, except the billionaires.
On Thursday, President Donald Trump ordered the termination of all media contracts within the General Services Administration (GSA). This comes after it was revealed that the federal government was paying millions to Politico for Politico Pro subscriptions.
According to Axios, Trump told the General Services Administration to terminate “every single media contract.” In an email, the White House wrote two points, “Pull all contracts for Politico, BBC, E&E (Politico sub) and Bloomberg,” as well as, “Pull all media contracts for just GSA – cancel every single media contract today for GSA only.”
GSA is in charge of managing real estate, technology services, as well as procurement for the federal government. The move comes after it was revealed by Elon Musk and his DOGE team as well as others that there was rampant waste in spending across government agencies. The premium version of Politico, which tracks granular policy in Congress and other areas, had cost the Biden administration over $8 million. Subscriptions had been purchased by many multiple agencies with the even the Department of Agriculture spending some half million dollars on these subscriptions.
In their defense, Politico said that their product was worth the cost. Along with the subscriptions to Politico Pro, DOGE announced that a contract with the New York Times at the Treasury Department was canceled. The New York Times was also receiving paid subscriptions by government agencies, but the sum in total is far less than $1 million.
“Treasury leadership verified that their NYT contracts were cancelled today,” DOGE wrote on X. The New York Times responded to the concern of the cost of their subscriptions to the government’s bottom line, saying that the federal funds they received were for subscriptions purchased by government officials and that these subscriptions are long-standing, often decades old. Politico is a newer outlet and was bought by a German enterprise in 2021.
The New York Times, via government-paid subscriptions, provides more than one million active duty and retired military members, along with their families, subscriptions to the paper of record. Even so, the amount of money from those subscriptions brings in only a fraction of the Times’ total revenue, the outlet noted.
Politico’s executives claimed the company as “never been the beneficiary of government programs or subsidies,” and added that the “overwhelming majority” of the Pro subscriptions come from outside the government. The statement added Politico has “no financial dependence on the government and no hidden agenda.”
One White House official told Axios that DOGE is looking to cut more media subscriptions from the federal government’s expenses. “The eye of Sauron is on more than just Politico. It’s all the media,” the official said.
The cuts come amid a whirlwind of budget deletions being made across the whole of government. USAID and it’s affiliated programs have been cut, with that agency being brought under the auspices of the Department of State. The Department of Government Efficiency has said that they are rooting around inside the Medicaid and Medicare programs to see what fraud and waste they can trim there. Additionally, the Trump adminsitration has said that the Department of Education will be on the chopping block in its entirety. The US, under Trump, has also withdrawn from the World Health Organization.
