The decision came late Wednesday or early Thursday when the administration denied a request from Gov. Gavin Newsom for a major presidential disaster declaration, said Brian Ferguson, deputy director of crisis communication and media relations for the governor’s Office of Emergency Services.

Treasury Department withheld nearly $4 million from FDNY 9/11 health program, says NYC is responsible for federal debts

Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin acknowledged that his department withheld $3.92 million since 2004 from Fire Department of New York first responders suffering from illnesses related to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks because of other debts New York City owes the federal government, according to a letter addressed to New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio.

Most Americans know trump is one of the most vindictive, mean-spirited people on the face of the earth and he has a political bone to pick with Gov. Gavin Newsom of Calif. but does harming individual American citizens really hurt Newsom, other than his feelings for the citizens for whom he’s responsible?
