California Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers returned to the state Capitol on Monday to begin a special session to protect the state's progressive policies ahead of another Trump presidency. The Democratic governor, a fierce critic of President-elect Donald Trump, is positioning California to once again be the center of a resistance effort against the conservative agenda.

      Marches in? They’re already here. There are multiple significant bases of operation for the four branches in California. Not sure about Space Force.

        Army doesn’t have that much in California. Fort Irwin is mainly a training base. When they base closures in the 80’s and 90’s California was hit really hard.

        Just like Oregon doesn’t have much of an army presence. The only base I know of closed.

        Most is the army is in the east coast and in the south.

    I find some of this funny. They can’t overrule federal law in many cases. So most of this won’t hold up in court.

      It’s so strange that suddenly liberals are suddenly in favor of autonomy for states.
