“"Paper or plastic" will no longer be a choice at grocery store checkout lines in #California under a new law signed Sunday by Gov. Gavin #Newsom that bans all plastic shopping bags.
California had already banned thin plastic shopping bags at supermarkets and other stores, but shoppers could purchase bags made with a thicker plastic that purportedly made them reusable and recyclable.”
To repeat...
Via Anna Bower:
JUST IN: Governor #Newsom seeks a restraining order against Pete #Hegseth and the Department of Defense.
The filing says the administration “intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles.
Via Kevin Kruse, a clear summary:
Three things about this comment:
1. Homan is a White House adviser who doesn't have the power to arrest anyone. Neither does #Trump.
2. Trump once again acts like he's not in charge. "If I were Tom, I'd do it." Uh, doesn't he work for you?
3. THREATENING TO ARREST A GOVERNOR IS A FIVE ALARM FIRE
re:
"I would do it if I were Tom. I think it's great" -- Trump endorses the arrest of Gov. Gavin #Newsom
Via Anna Bower: 1/...
HAPPENING NOW: Judge Charles Breyer is presiding over a hearing in #Newsom v. #Trump -- the first hearing in the district court following the Ninth Circuit's order allowing Trump to mobilize the national guard in #California.
Judge Breyer starts by saying that the parties and the court need to decide how to move forward. (This was supposed to be a preliminary injunction hearing, but Ninth Circuit construed his initial TRO as a preliminary injunction and stayed it.)
To recap:
Via Kyle Cheney:
Judge BREYER.. #Newsom and DOJ to brief him on whether he still has authority to weigh #Trump's military deployment in #LosAngeles following the 9th Circuit's stay of his original order.
He seems to think there are aspects of the case still in his domain — like Posse Comitatus.
Keep ‘em coming
Gov. Gavin #Newsom of #California sued Fox News [sic], accusing it of defaming him in coverage of a phone call he had with #Trump this month. The lawsuit seeks at least $787 million in damages.
