While the massively destructive wildfires burned through Los Angeles, a special session of the California legislature met in Sacramento at the behest of Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA). The top points on the agenda didn’t deal with emergency disaster funding or investigations into governmental failures that allowed the blazes to rage for days.

Instead, the state’s Democratic supermajority voted on reserving millions of dollars to fund lawsuits against the future policies of President-elect Donald Trump. Days later, on Jan. 20, Trump was inaugurated for a second, nonconsecutive term.
