Senator, Democrats should start up a shadow government. We can no longer rely on the Federal government to help us or protect us. Start up shadow ministries of health, economics, disaster assistance, weather, etc. It would go a long way to showing Dems are here for Americans.
All states do. If it’s the west coast New England and NY NJ, each with more independence; state tax agencies handling state and federal, DOGE created a perfect opportunity by hollowing out the IRS so even they say they’ll lose .5T. Then let the state decide how much to send the federal government.
No.They voted for this. Because they wanted to hurt Californians who live in cities. In December, Central Valley fields remained planted with F*ck Joe Biden & F*ck Kamala Harris banners & Trump flags waving from flagpoles. I do not want to foot bill for their economic suicide by Trump. Nope. F that.
Then start working on arguing that if the Constitution means nothing then we don’t need federal Congress approval to secede instead of making posts republicans don’t care about.
It’s easy to say, screw farmers. Most voted for this. But a lot of us are not going to grow our own food in a few container pots on the apartment balcony. Hoping we find reasonable solutions for farmers that sustain all of us
To all of our senators, congresswomen, and congressmen as well as all of the journalists and reporters that are doing their best to stand up for democracy and “truth”amidst the turmoil happening in our country right now, THANK YOU! 🙏🏼

So you're going to bail out the people who 2, 3 times? voted for Trump's tariffs & who enjoyed the pay raise bribe he gave them at everyone else's expense so they aren't hurt by their own choices?
Don't sabotage.
But, maybe let them feel the pain of the hot stoves they chose to tan themselves with.
Nice thought but watching the ag industry collapse isn’t going to fix things. Agriculture, or what’s left of it, is a vital part of California’s economy and ecosystem. We can only hope that the bonehead farmers learn the lesson and vote blue in future
No one will let it collapse, tho
Lessons>hope
Better Schiff:
I think Trump policies will, again, damage *farming, markets, consumers & again require 10s of billions to avoid total collapse & conglomerate takeover. But farmers are convinced I'm wrong.
I respectfully grant them time to reconsider.
I get it, but there’s more at stake. We need to preserve the eco by for the good of the state as a whole including the dumbasses who made the mess. Plus, land sitting fallow will strip away the topsoil and create a dust bowl.
Its not an"I told u so"
Imo, farm-ing will be swallowed by conglomerates b4 any "avoidable" damage occurs
Farm-ers may lose ownership, but w/b paid well
Allow consequences of their choices to compel them to ask for help in this battle & help
meantime, exploit the crack in the war machine & reasoning
The best solution is a completely different tax structure & upgrade to our infrastructure.
But my point isn't about denying aid or changing anything, tbh.
It's about harnessing the unavoidable pain brought on, forcing people/Biz on the record & into the resistance.
I agree on a different tax structure, Eisenhower level taxes, 90% on the top income bracket, they invest in their companies and workers and communities.
I put the tax rate by year early 20th it’s up and down but after a certain time it’s just gotten lower.
Guess who benefits when farmers are forced to sell? The BIG tech/AI companies especially those from India so the presidents companies can continue to build and flourish in India.
Isn’t also about time the angered-farmers raise their better their voice by organizing huge protests in their state with tractors, and block the airports, the roads..(they fo that in Europe)
Come on farmers on your tractors & protest on the roads also
Apparently, the Ag Secretary said they are looking at bailout options for farmers. I have 2 questions:
1. Don’t farms prefer trade over aid? Aid is not sustainable. We learned that in 2017.
2. Where’s the bailout for the rest of America? We’re all being hurt.
So much energy into the counties that gave us Trump? Can't imagine why they feel they can't lose either way and progressives ask 'why bother voting anymore?'
Support Governor Newsom‘s effort to form independent alliances with other countries. We need to make California more economically independent from the fascist United States. Impound federal taxes next?
Impound federal taxes first in my state bc we don’t have a major port, but I would say far too much power has been ceded to DC and the three branches ceded their power to Trump, effectively undoing the 1776 revolution.
peacefully take power over our own destiny, empower ourselves, grassroots up.
Doge sabotage needs to stop at social security and the irs.
COBOL on mainframes=45/50 top banks. IBM still makes them. The democrats in Congress should have IBM, if it’s their system, look at both first, social security and irs.
By constantly saving people from their support of Trump, they never learn the danger he presents. If you save them, he will claim the credit and they'll believe him. Enabling this insanity only makes it worse.
rogue elements are now running the country, with no one to stop them.
it’s only a matter of time before a colossal failure or a major act of terrorism exposes the incompetence of this so-called government. Whatever happens, it will undoubtedly go down in history as a catastrophic moment!

Betsey Stevenson, former economic adviser to Pres Obama and economics professor at University of Michigan along with UM faculty colleague Justin Wolfers predict Trump/Heritage FDN tariffs will cost every American household close to $4,000. Unconscionable racist nationalism.
What are you and the rest of Congress doing to impeach Trump and his court of buffoons? I didn’t see you at the protests—why aren’t you taking part or leading them?
All elected Congressional representatives need to fight right now for this country. Not individual states but the country as a whole. We are going down in flames. Impeachment must be first and foremost on all agendas.
DO NOT work to get a bailout from the effect of these tariffs for any single interest group or economic sector. Either we all go up together or we all go down together. No special treatment for whomever last stuffed a few bucks in the election donation basket.
The only way to protect Californians is not to be subjects and a vassal state. Support putting the California independence referendum on the 2026 ballot. Californians: Sign the petition because politicians might not have the courage! [see profile]

Stop protecting certain industries with clout— especially ones like the farmers who voted overwhelmingly for the Felon. They at least get what they voted for.

Yes, we need leadership change. Young, vibrant leadership. Schumer looks like a tired old man. Appreciate his leadership, I'm pretty sure I voted for him 30 years ago, but it is time for him to turn it over.
Hell, he ran the Aquifers dry for LA, causing flooding in the Fresno valley farming areas. Is there enough water to grow this season? That’s the big question as subsidies are GONE.
Mean while Newsome is attempting to make separate trade agreements between California and our foreign trading partners. How is that possible?? Can California Ignore federal trade policy ??
The farms won't go away, they'll get bought out by big Ag. We'll just lose the water hoarding, public lands grazing teet suckers that only know how to bite the hand that feeds them.
It only takes a drive up I-5 from LA to Redding to see all the pro-Trump signs on ag land. They got what they voted for! There are consequences for supporting a criminal. They need to sit with that for awhile before rescuing them. Otherwise they will not learn from this.
“Government Motors” style bailout, each states population and agricultural board own the farms bailed out so big ag doesn’t buy them and jack the prices up.
Breaking the big ag monopoly up would be good too.
Better food standards and farming practices as well. Pre rfk jr better.
I grew up in the sjv watching farm owners in cosplay screech maga while demonizing the migrant labor that did their manual labor. Bailing them out again? Oof. Finding it hard to find a fuck.
Then stop giving $$ to the federal government. Trump is double dipping. Forcing importers to pay a federal tariff and then the state to pay a federal tax.
Trump thinks foreign governments pay tariffs (wrong!), not US importers. So, why not propose a bill in Congress to exempt US importers from paying his tariffs?
We lose the harmful effects of the tariffs, and he couldn’t oppose it without admitting he’s wrong…?
Dear US citizens!You are allowed to start petitions and to contact your politicians,e.g. via phone and mail.With enough power you can bring up new elections, legal and without violence.Your voice is stronger than you think. Build groups, be united! You are stronger! https://www.senate.gov/senators/senators-contact.htm?OrderBy=state&Sort=ASC
They can bring articles of impeachment all day long. If we don’t get the GOP motivated, they same thing is going to happen as his last term, nothing. Al Green is bringing articles of impeachment so we’ll see what happens.
Schiff is a leader for all, because one drive through central-California farm country on the 5 or the the 99, you’d likely see dozens of MAGA billboards attached to farm vehicles on ag land…these farmers are brainwashed idiots…and now about to reap what they’ve sown.

For Californians who voted for that piece of filth when he ran for Senate, SHAME ON YOU.
He was Trump before Trump. His conniving and lying cost tens of millions pf $.

It’s deja vu.

Being prepared and ready to act - seems better than not being so at this point in time.

And we aren't bailing out, everyone.
We aren't bailing out universities, aid organizations, or law firms, or consumers.
We aren't bailing out small businesses.
And I'm not looking to deny them help when asked. Or to gloat or mock.
But they've shown us how they learn, who/what their most effective teachers are:
Experiencing consequences for themselves.
Imo, farm-ing will be swallowed by conglomerates b4 any "avoidable" damage occurs
Farm-ers may lose ownership, but w/b paid well
Allow consequences of their choices to compel them to ask for help in this battle & help

Government Motors IPO made money for the US, company will need another bailout bc they made expensive trucks nobody can afford.
So a better deal is gov’t buys and holds shares in commercial entities?
But my point isn't about denying aid or changing anything, tbh.
It's about harnessing the unavoidable pain brought on, forcing people/Biz on the record & into the resistance.
I put the tax rate by year early 20th it’s up and down but after a certain time it’s just gotten lower.
When the government held stock is when the company built the cars I would want.
So part of it is not letting it become a cycle of bailouts, as GM might be.
Pure materialist, absolute narcissist, some way into dementia.
Oh he’s going to annex #gaza and build a beach resort and deport the Palestinians #ethniccleansing
Schiff is at years light ahead of Dumpty !!!
