California lawmakers return to Sacramento on Monday for the swearing-in ceremonies for new state lawmakers and begin the special legislative session that Gov. Newsom called days after Donald Trump won the presidential election. On Monday, Newsom's office said the governor would be seeking up to $25 million to "defend against unconstitutional or unlawful federal government actions, challenge federal overreach in court, and take administrative actions to reduce potential harm."
