MAGA is going to love this:
California is projected to have a budget surplus this year.
Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to boost savings, fund legal battles against Trump, and skip spending cuts—all while keeping programs like free pre-K on track. A solid boost for the resistance.

In other words, Zuckerberg suppressed political content during a Democratic administration, but will amp it up during a Republican one. That, and $1 million to Trump's inauguration, with help pay off the extortion of threats to break up and/or regulate Meta. Totally normal in a functioning world.
More from Zuck: "We're bringing back civic content. For a while the community asked to see less politics because it was making people stressed, so we stopped recommending these posts. But it feels like we're in a new era now..."
