Gavin Newsom Vows to Confiscate 100% From | Political News
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Wednesday that his failing state will impose a 100% tax—successfully confiscating every penny—on funds California residents obtain from President Trump’s $1.8 billion anti-weaponization fund.
“Anyone from California that receives any of those funds, we want to tax 100% of those proceeds,” Newsom boasted during a press convention. “That’s an action the state of California can take; it’s an action we look forward to taking.”
While Trump works to proper the wrongs of years of political persecution and lawfare, Newsom is brazenly cheering theft from Californians who suffered under Biden’s tyrannical abuse of energy against Republicans.
Newsom’s risk is a blatant reminder that Democrats’ top priorities have been, and always will stay, punishing conservatives and defending the weaponized deep state.
If you get a payout from Trump’s January 6 slush fund, California will tax it at 100%.

You can inform he is super-serious in that clip, people, clenched jaw and rapid-fire fingerpointing and all.
The $1.8 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund was established earlier this month by the Justice Department as half of a settlement resolving President Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS for the unlawful leak of his tax returns.
Financed through the federal Judgment Fund, this system goals to present restitution to Americans focused and persecuted by the Biden administration’s weaponized DOJ.
Among the victims, if you’ll be able to imagine it, from the previous President who insisted he was the protector of democracy, are: mother and father labeled as home terrorists, pro-life activists, January 6 defendants, and numerous others who endured lawfare for daring to oppose the novel left.
President Trump has defended the anti-weaponization fund, noting he may have pursued or settled his lawsuit against the IRS.
“I gave up a lot of money in allowing the just announced Anti-Weaponization Fund to go forward,” he wrote on Truth Social. “I could have settled my case, including the illegal release of my Tax Returns and the equally illegal break-in of Mar-a-Lago, for an absolute fortune.”
“Instead, I am helping others, who were so badly abused by an evil, corrupt, and weaponized Biden Administration, receive, at long last, JUSTICE!”
Any American—Democrat, Republican, Independent or apolitical—can file claims with the Anti-Weaponization Fund, that are then reviewed by a committee of 5.

In the equally liberal swamp of New York, one lawmaker agrees with Governor Newsom. State Assemblyman Alex Bores (D-Manhattan), who is working to signify New York’s twelfth district in the US House of Representatives, would also like to implement taxation without illustration.
“It’s simple, if you’re a New Yorker and you take from this illegal slush fund, New York state will tax 100% of it,” Bores wrote on X. “If you storm the Capitol and you take from this slush fund, too bad we’re taking it.”

Of course Democrats from New York and California need to defend the previous president’s efforts to inflict pain on conservatives. From their perspective, Biden’s presidency was an absolute dream.
No President used lies and misinformation to pursue his political opponents more than Biden did.
The earlier administration’s Justice Department jailed largely peaceable protestors from January sixth, jailed pro-life grandmothers who prayed at abortion clinics, had the DOJ goal Catholic church buildings, and pursued involved mother and father at college board conferences as terrorists.
Newsom’s grasping energy play is another signal that blue-state radicals will stop at nothing to punish conservatives for the lone transgression of current. Talk about your risk to democracy.
