Thunderbird Entertainment Group Announces Completion of Annual Grant of RSUs and PSUs to Board of Directors and Executive Management and Renegotiated CEO CompensationSACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California could offer rebates for electric vehicle purchases if the incoming Trump administration eliminates a federal tax credit for people who buy electric cars, Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday. Newsom, a Democrat, proposed creating a new version of the state’s Clean Vehicle Rebate Program , which was phased out in 2023 after funding 594,000 cars and saving 456 million gallons of fuel, Newsom’s office said. “Consumers continue to prove the skeptics wrong – zero-emission vehicles are here to stay," Newsom said in a statement. "We’re not turning back on a clean transportation future — we’re going to make it more affordable for people to drive vehicles that don’t pollute.” Newsom’s proposal is part of his plan to protect California's progressive policies ahead of Republican President-elect Donald Trump's second term. He called the state Legislature to convene in a special session to help “Trump-proof” state laws by giving the attorney general’s office more funding to fight federal challenges. But a budget shortfall could complicate California’s resistance efforts. Early budget projections show the state could face a $2 billion deficit next year, according to a report released last week by the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office. That’s an improvement from an estimated $46.8 billion deficit the state faced last year, but the shortfall could still curtail the state’s ability to expand new programs and fight federal legal challenges. Legislative leaders in both chambers have said the state needs to stay prudent in anticipation of future budget deficits. Karoline Leavitt, a spokeswoman for Trump's transition team, said the president-elect would deliver on his campaign promises, “including stopping attacks on gas-powered cars.” “When he takes office, President Trump will support the auto industry, allowing space for both gas-powered cars AND electric vehicles,” she said in a statement. Money for the new rebate system could come from the state's Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, which is funded by polluters under the state’s cap-and-trade program, the governor's office said. Officials didn’t say how much the program would cost or how the rebates would work. California has surpassed 2 million zero-emission vehicles sold, according to Newsom's office. The state has passed policies in recent years to transition away from fossil fuel-powered cars , trucks , trains and lawn mowers . Trump previously vowed to end federal electric vehicle tax credits , which are worth up to $7,500 for new zero-emission vehicles. There’s also a $4,000 credit for used ones. But Trump later softened his stance as Tesla CEO Elon Musk became a supporter and adviser. Newsom's proposed rebates could exclude Tesla and other automakers in an effort to promote more market competition and innovation, according to the governor's office. But that is subject to negotiation with the state Legislature. Musk called Tesla's possible exclusion “insane” in a post on X. About 42% of rebates went to people buying or leasing Tesla vehicles under the state's previous clean vehicle rebate program, according to data from the California Air Resources Board. Trump criticized Newsom on social media after the governor called for a special session, calling out the high cost of living in California and the state’s homelessness crisis. Trump said Newsom was “stopping all of the GREAT things that can be done to ‘Make California Great Again.’” Newsom said on his podcast earlier this month that he reached out to Trump after the election. He said at a news conference last week that he still hadn’t heard back from the president-elect. California's defunct Clean Vehicle Rebate Program offered rebates on electric cars as high as $2,500.

The viral trends also gave previously non-popular creators and marketers a way to get noticed in the eyes of their audience. This trend was first started by Jools Lebron, who is a TikTok creator, in which a person acts like “reserved, modest, and shy” but with a jaw-dropping surprise. Creators used this trend to do some exaggerated tasks or bold things and overlay the text over their reels, “Very demure, very mindful.” Moreover, Dictionary.com named “demure” Word of the Year, as the impact of the trend was immeasurable. A post shared by Jools Lebron (@joolieannie) A food influencer, named Logan Moffitt, went viral on social media in 2024 by sharing his cucumber recipes on his TikTok account @logagm, and due to his popularity he is also called the cucumber guy. Moffitt’s one of the videos almost hit more than 43 million views luring many people to try creamy cucumber salad. Many internet users tried his special cucumber recipe, and it went viral to the extent that reportedly in grocery stores cucumber in grocery stores due to the TikTok trend. A post shared by Logan (@logansfewd) This and Yap trend revolved around appreciating little things, like sunset, beach, or any aesthetic view, and enjoying them. It’s about pairing two most random activities out of the routine life that we often take for granted. Content creators made reels with footage of cozy cafes or outdoor sitting or a friend's place with two or more people “yapping” and living in the moment. A post shared by Neon Supply | Fusion Marketing (@getneonsupply) In this funny trend, the main character is pretending to run from the police, and while on the run, the person hears out the police passing an admiring compliment about the person on a radio. The creators set the video of the “Running From the Police” trend on the song “Died in Your Arms” by Cutting Crew, which intensifies the frozen turn and Aha moment.
