Good morning.

(If you don’t already get California Today by email, here’s the sign-up.)

The State of the Union was last week. But there’s one Californian who’s been waiting to give his rebuttal.

Gov. Gavin Newsom’s first State of the State is this morning. He’s set to double down on his inaugural promise to present an alternative to the rhetoric and policies coming out of the White House.

President Trump offered “a vision of an America fundamentally at odds with California values,” Mr. Newsom plans to say, according to excerpts from the address.

“He described a country where inequality didn’t seem to be a problem, where climate change doesn’t exist, and where the greatest threat we face comes from families at the border, seeking asylum from violence-stricken countries.”
