Trump demands a ‘Thank You’ from Newsom after appeals court delays bid to boot military from Los Angeles - A late-night decision by the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals dealt a blow to California Governo

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

California Governor Gavin Newsom offered some cutting words on social media for President Donald Trump Thursday as he battled to retain command of the state’s National Guard. He might have spoken too soon.

President Donald Trump signed a bill Thursday that blocks California’s plan to phase out the sale of gas-powered vehicles by 2035, dismantling a key climate policy from the Biden era and intensifying his clash with California Governor Gavin Newsom.

An escalating clash pits a Republican president looking to fulfill his mass deportation goals against a Democratic governor with White House aspirations hoping to mobilize opposition.

President Donald Trump has quashed California’s electronic vehicle mandate, accusing Gavin Newsom of trying to “kill” the auto industry and setting off another legal battle with the Democratic governor.

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.
