'Mr President, you can’t…': Gov Gavin Newsom lashes out at Trump as California fraud clash explodes

California Governor Gavin Newsom used his final State of the State address to sharply criticise US President Donald Trump, calling Washington a 'carnival of chaos' while presenting California as a 'beacon' of democracy, innovation, and stability. Newsom accused the Trump administration of attempting to cut off critical food assistance, medical research funding, homeland security support, and disaster response programs, warning that such moves would hurt millions of Americans.
