To the editor: It was very fascinating to see the interplay between Gov. Gavin Newsom and President Trump after the president’s visit on Friday to see the Palisades fire damage.
Lengthy an enormous fan of the governor, I’ve admired his power and activism since his first time period. I keep in mind how resolute he was through the COVID-19 disaster and the way he wasted no time making selections to guard his state and its residents. Additionally, it even appeared that Trump generally deferred to Newsom’s suggestions relating to the pandemic.
I notice that there is no such thing as a love misplaced between Trump and Newsom. However for the sake of the residents of California, significantly in and round Los Angeles, it was surprisingly heartwarming to be taught that the 2 shared a heat embrace and teased one another upon the president’s arrival.
Neither man is one to again away from a struggle nor prone to change his opinion of the opposite, however it’s potential that they admire one another’s tenacity.

To the editor: Why are we Californians, the most important contributor to our federal tax coffers, having to beg for the very {dollars} we contributed to supply emergency support to our personal residents?
Democrats should play the political recreation by the MAGA guidelines now being employed. Typical guidelines not work as a result of they not exist. Democrats are following a path that leads nowhere.
Emergency support is for rapid wants. We mustn’t negotiate ranges of care and struggling. We should withhold our federal tax contributions and assist our personal residents first, earlier than any extortion makes an attempt.
Let MAGA sue us. That may take time winding by the courts. At the very least we may have cared for our residents.
