Democratic leaders across US work to lead resistance against Trump’s agenda

Summary

Following Trump’s re-election, Democratic leaders in blue states are preparing to resist his second-term agenda, focusing on issues like abortion access, immigration, civil rights, and climate action.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom announced a special session to “Trump-proof” the state, while Illinois and Colorado governors launched a coalition to defend state institutions against authoritarianism.

State attorneys general are readying legal challenges, citing a conservative judiciary and a more prepared Trump team.

Democrats also aim to lead grassroots resistance, with activists urging bold state-level protections amid fears of federal overreach.

  • Empty words from scum Newsom, the tormentor of the homeless and needy.

    • yes, lets further divide what's left of the US. /s

      • My life is on a trajectory to homelessness with disability and a system that refuses to help me. This is me, in the future, being traumatized, abused, and dying in a gutter somewhere while being criminalized because a political refugee from the other side of the world had to have a driver's license but had the cognitive capacity of a third grader. I was just commuting to work on a bicycle, a racer, upper middle class guy, working in a chain of high end bike shops. I'm you on an extremely unlucky day. You're only one bad day away from this exact same issue.
