California Gov. Gavin Newsom used his final State of the State address Thursday to spotlight the state<\/a>\u2019s court fights with the federal government, saying the state has filed dozens of lawsuits against the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

The Democrat framed the legal battles as a dispute over presidential authority, telling lawmakers and attendees that “no one, particularly the president of the United States, stands above the law.”<\/p>\n

“We\u2019ve gone to court and, of course, protect our people, pushing back against this executive overreach,” Newsom<\/a> said.<\/p>\n

The governor pointed to litigation filed during a special session and tied the legal efforts to what he described as federal actions that harmed Californians.<\/p>\n

“Fifty-two lawsuits have been filed, funded by you, by the way, in this special session that all of you led,” Newsom said, adding that the cases involved “about $168 billion in illegally frozen federal resources<\/u><\/a> that belong to our schools, that belong to our hospitals, that belong to our seniors.”<\/p>\n

Newsom said the court strategy has already produced results.<\/p>\n

“We have won the request for emergency relief,” he said, adding that California has “affirmed the Constitution of the United States as the supreme law of the land.”<\/p>\n

NEWSOM SAYS TRUMP IS ONE OF THE ‘MOST DESTRUCTIVE’ PRESIDENT OF HIS LIFETIME: ‘THIS GUY IS RECKLESS’<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Addressing President Donald Trump<\/a>, Newsom said, “You can\u2019t cut off critical food assistance for millions of people,” adding, “You can\u2019t send the military into American cities without justification, and you cannot cruelly and illegally cut off funding for medical research, homeland security, or disaster response.”<\/p>\n

Newsom’s emphasis on legal challenges comes as the Trump administration has launched a federal probe<\/a> into alleged fraud tied to California programs, including homelessness spending, with a top federal prosecutor publicly criticizing the state\u2019s oversight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s office has rejected those accusations, saying the governor has blocked fraud and protected taxpayers. Later in the address, Newsom turned to homelessness and urged counties to take a more aggressive approach.<\/p>\n

“So I say this with love and respect to the counties \u2014 no more excuses. It\u2019s time to bring people off the streets and out of encampments,” he said.<\/p>\n

Newsom defended California\u2019s high-speed rail project as well, calling it “the nation\u2019s first high speed rail system.”<\/p>\n

“Full environmental clearance is done,” Newsom said, while claiming “more than 60 miles of guideway have been completed ready for immediate track lane in the Central Valley.”<\/p>\n

On housing, Newsom criticized large investors, warning about “institutional investors that are snatching up homes by the hundreds and thousands at a time.”<\/p>\n

“These investors are crushing the dream of homeownership,” he said, adding, “I think it\u2019s shameful that we allow private equity firms\u2026 become some of the biggest landlords here in our cities.”<\/p>\n

Republican leaders responded critically to Newsom\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n

California Senate Minority Leader Brian Jones called the address an “airbrushed spin job,” accusing the governor of “working hard to pull the wool over the eyes of the nation.”<\/p>\n

Assemblyman James Gallagher likewise dismissed the speech as “more of the same,” arguing it was time for what he described as a “third wave politics” of both parties working together to solve California\u2019s problems.<\/p>\n

The statewide election to replace term-limited Gov. Newsom is scheduled for November 2026.<\/p>\n

Newsom\u2019s office did not provide additional comment beyond clarifying the lawsuit figure to Fox News Digital regarding Thursday’s State of the State address.\u00a0<\/p>\n
