The Secretary of Transportation Calls Out Governor Newsom For Lying About an “Extension” to Revoke Licenses From 17,000 Truck Drivers

Gavin Newsom recently announced an extension with the deadline approaching for 17,000 truckers. Now the Secretary of the Department of Transportation (DOT) says there is no such thing and January 5th is the only deadline to comply.

California is currently revoking around 17,000 non-domiciled Commercial Driver’s Licenses (CDLs) for immigrant drivers following federal pressure from the Trump administration over program compliance issues, sparking lawsuits and debate over state laws and federal mandates, with drivers potentially losing their ability to work while some have the option to get a noncommercial license by visiting the DMV for essential driving.

Key Reasons for Revocation

Federal Mandate: The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) directed California to revoke these licenses due to widespread failures in the state’s CDL program which were highlighted by California drivers including from Stockton, causing deadly crashes.

State Law Inconsistencies: Gavin’s office stated the revocations were due to state law requiring licenses to expire with legal status, even though federal authorization was present.

License Validity: The federal review found licenses issued to individuals whose work permits had expired, leading to the directive for revocation.

Noncommercial License Option: Drivers losing their CDL can apply for a noncommercial license to drive regular cars but must visit the DMV to complete the process, providing legal documents and the cancellation letter.

Lawsuits Filed: Immigrant drivers and advocacy groups have filed lawsuits to block the cancellations, arguing the impact on the economy and livelihoods.

Conflicting Claims: The Governor’s office has pushed back on federal claims of “illegally issued” licenses, stating drivers had valid federal work authorizations, while the federal government cited state non-compliance.

Why would Gavin make up such a big lie?!

New Law: Pets Must Be 1 Year Old to Sell 🐱 🐶 🐰

In California, new laws effective January 1, 2026, prohibit pet brokers from selling or offering dogs, cats, or rabbits under one year of age. These regulations are designed to crack down on high-volume breeding operations (puppy mills) and ensure greater transparency in pet sales according to law makers.

Minimum Sale Age for Brokers (AB 519): This law bans online and in-person pet brokers from selling or offering for adoption dogs, cats, or rabbits under 12 months old. The goal is to steer consumers toward legitimate avenues for purchasing or rescuing animals and disrupt the pipeline from out-of-state mills. The law does not apply to police or service animals, nor does it affect legitimate shelters, rescues, or 4H clubs.

Minimum Sale Age for Pet Shops (Existing Law): Under existing law, pet shops are prohibited from selling dogs and cats under eight weeks of age.

Pet Sales Contracts (AB 506): This law voids contracts if a seller requires a non-refundable deposit for a dog under one year old, a cat, or a rabbit. It also mandates that sellers disclose the animal’s original source and medical history prior to a deposit being issued.

Rabies Vaccination Requirement: All dogs over 4 months (16 weeks) old are required to be vaccinated against rabies per county codes.

New Law: Folic Acid in Tortillas 🌮

Starting January 1, 2026, a new California law (AB 1830) targeting Mexicans requires most store-bought corn tortillas and corn masa products to include folic acid to help prevent neural tube birth defects, addressing a health gap for Mexican women according to law makers. There are exemptions for small businesses making tortillas from scratch.

This fortification, adding 0.7 mg of folic acid per pound of corn masa flour, aims to reduce conditions like spina bifida and anencephaly, a benefit already seen in other enriched grains but lacking in corn masa products.

Why the Change?
Reduce Birth Defects: Folic acid significantly lowers the risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) in newborns, which develop early in pregnancy.

Address Health Disparities: Data showed Mexican women in California were less likely to consume enough folic acid early in pregnancy, putting them at higher risk for NTDs according to law makers.

While other grains have been fortified since 1998, corn masa products, a staple in many Mexican diets, were excluded, leading to this targeted law.

Impact & Reactions:

Support: Many support the law as a crucial public health measure to protect infants.

Concerns: Some small producers and consumers question the necessity, linking it to traditional methods, but large manufacturers like Mission Foods already fortify their products.

So now when you go to the taco truck expect some folic acid with those tacos.

What do you think, good law for better health or should Gavin Newsom keeps his hands off our tacos? 🌮

New Law: No More Plastic Bags

California’s plastic bag ban expands in 2026 under SB 1053, prohibiting all single-use plastic carryout bags at grocery stores, pharmacies, and large retailers, effective January 1, 2026, leaving only recyclable paper bags available for a minimum 10-cent fee, encouraging shoppers to bring reusable bags to reduce plastic waste.

Key Changes for 2026

Total Ban: The law bans all single-use plastic carryout bags, including thicker ones previously allowed if made with recycled content, at most retail outlets.

Paper Only ( with Fee): Stores can only offer recycled paper bags, for which they must charge at least 10 cents, a fee kept by the store.

Scope: Applies to grocery stores, pharmacies, convenience stores, and food marts.

Reusable Bags Encouraged: Shoppers are encouraged to bring their own reusable bags to avoid the fee.

Exemptions: Compostable produce bags and bags for items like meat, fish, or bulk foods remain exempt.

What This Means for Shoppers

Bring Your Own: The best way to avoid charges is to bring your own reusable bags.
Pay for Paper: Expect to pay 10 cents for each paper bag.

What This Means for Businesses
Operational Adjustments: Retailers need to adjust inventory for paper bags, which take up more storage space.
Compliance: Stores not following the rules face fines.

This legislation builds on California’s earlier efforts to curb plastic pollution, aiming for a significant reduction in single-use plastics at checkout.
