Just when I can't hate the 🍊🐖💩more he is taking over California permitting authority to the federal government

[kimbutgar]

President Trump announced Tuesday that he's signed an executive order that he says will move permitting authority from California and Los Angeles to the federal government as the region continues to rebuild after last year's devastating wildfires.

The order authorizes the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Administrator of the Small Business Administration to set regulations and sign off on certifications that builders have met "state and local substantive health, safety, and building standards." That authorization overrides permitting requirements that would normally fall under state and local jurisdictions.

3. Violation of the Tenth Amendment?

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

5. Newsom's office statement

"Trump has demonstrated a complete lack of leadership or compassion for this community, visiting the Palisades once and completely ignoring Altadena," the statement said. "While Trump is picking out gaudy gold décor and new flooring for his unnecessary remodel, this community is STILL waiting for him to grant disaster recovery funding. He should keep LA out of his mouth unless he is planning to grant them the federal disaster funding they need."

In a post to X, Newsom's office claimed that the issue wasn't the speed and efficiency of the permitting process, but rather a lack of federal funding for the rebuild.

6. Executive decisions are not law therefore it's not a Federal law.

Only Federal land is expressly regulated by the Federal Gov't. Laws not expressly Federal are States rights.

Am I wrong? I'm just a citizen with a little information. I'll leave the actual law to those here that are actual lawyers.

Oh yeah, EPSTEIN FILES, EPSTEIN FILES, EPSTEIN FILES!
