Just when I can't hate the 🍊🐖💩more he is taking over California permitting authority to the federal government

[quaint]

5. Newsom's office statement

"Trump has demonstrated a complete lack of leadership or compassion for this community, visiting the Palisades once and completely ignoring Altadena," the statement said. "While Trump is picking out gaudy gold décor and new flooring for his unnecessary remodel, this community is STILL waiting for him to grant disaster recovery funding. He should keep LA out of his mouth unless he is planning to grant them the federal disaster funding they need."

In a post to X, Newsom's office claimed that the issue wasn't the speed and efficiency of the permitting process, but rather a lack of federal funding for the rebuild.
