Blue States Mobilize to Counter Trump's 2025 Agenda

Following Donald Trump's projected reelection, Democratic governors and attorneys general in blue states are mobilizing to resist his policies, particularly on immigration, the environment, LGBTQ+ rights, and reproductive care. California Governor Gavin Newsom and New York Governor Kathy Hochul are among those leading efforts to bolster legal defenses and coordinate strategies to protect state policies. This resistance echoes the opposition seen during Trump's first term, with state leaders preparing legal challenges and legislative measures to counter potential federal actions.

"Trump's Legal Tactics Could Extend Beyond Trial Delays in January 6 Case"

Donald Trump's defense team is employing a multifaceted legal strategy in the federal case regarding his alleged interference in the 2020 election. Beyond seeking to delay the trial, they aim to absolve Trump of responsibility for the Capitol attack by claiming he was misled by disinformation and biased government investigations. They are requesting access to government documents and intelligence on foreign interference, suggesting that Trump acted in good faith. The defense also plans to challenge the impartiality of investigative agencies and potential trial witnesses, accusing them of political bias. Prosecutors are pushing back, seeking to preclude these defenses as irrelevant and potentially confusing to the jury. The trial's timing remains uncertain, with appeals pending on issues of presidential immunity and a gag order, potentially delaying the start date.
