Trump Cornered On Iran, Newsom Pushes Back on Slush Fund

What was said

"Anyone from California receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds. And that's an action the state of California can take. It's an action we look forward to taking."

California Governor Gavin Newsom announced plans to tax at 100 percent any payments California residents receive from Trump's January 6th reparations fund. The move is described as politically brilliant, distilling public disgust with the fund into a clean, understandable counterpunch. Other Democrats and even some Republicans are expressing opposition to the fund, with one Republican congressman calling it a 'terrorist immunization fund.'
