Dead fish stink up the Newsom-Trump truce on water

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

58% : When Trump issued an executive order to "maximize" water deliveries to Southern California, Newsom issued one a few days later to also "maximize" supplies. Just days after the salmon snafu, the federal government is laying the groundwork to ramp pumping back up, as fewer of the fish are appearing at the pumps this week.
42% : " The dust-up demonstrates the test facing Newsom as he tries to maintain relations with a federal administration that has prioritized boosting California's water deliveries -- to the point where Trump dispatched a DOGE employee to the main pumps in the Delta to add pressure to deliveries and hastily dumped water from two Central Valley dams in a misguided attempt to send water to Los Angeles that instead nearly flooded downstream farms and wasted summer irrigation water.
