President Trump has no authority to unilaterally impose his disastrous tariff agenda. These reckless tariffs have created economic chaos, skyrocketing everyday costs and inflicting billions in damages on the state, families, and businesses. We will be taking this to court.

This didn’t age well for Trumpworld — Gavin Newsom (Aug. 2024): “You want an economic policy to compare and contrast? We know what Trump's is — a 10 percent tax on the American people.” Bret Baier: “He hasn't laid down an all across board tariff. He hasn't done that yet. That's not true.”

Newsom: The trade war that Trump has just launched—because there will be a reaction, and there already has been—will be felt in profound ways by average people including those who voted for Donald Trump, those who were betrayed by this very administration.

Newsom: He took water that was set aside for this summer from one part of Central Valley and dumped it into another part—without telling them.. They had to turn off the pump because it was starting to impact the levees. None of it went to Southern California.

When the executive branch disagrees with a court ruling, the answer isn’t to ignore it — it’s to appeal to a higher court. We did that. We won. That’s how law and order works.

This overreach needs to be rejected immediately by a co-equal branch of government. Or was Congress eliminated by this executive order, too?

California’s farmers and ranchers are the backbone of our economy, feeding the nation with hard work and innovation. Yet, during Ag Week, the very USDA staff who support them are facing sweeping cuts. We can’t abandon rural America now — or ever.
