California will keep fighting on behalf of all our people including in the courts. If some of us can be snatched off the streets without a warrant, based only on suspicion or skin color, then none of us are safe. Authoritarian regimes begin by targeting people who are least able to defend themselves. But they do not stop there. Trump and his loyalists thrive on division because it allows them to take more power and exert even more control.
MAJOR WIN: Trump just reversed course on immigration. We’re watching closely — and we’ll hold him to it. This happened because you spoke up. Keep it going. Keep it peaceful. It’s working.
Californians pay the bills for the federal government. We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe it’s time to cut that off, @President Donald J Trump.
Donald Trump does not have the authority to unilaterally impose the largest tax hike of our lifetime with his destructive tariffs. We’re taking him to court.
Donald Trump, without consulting with California’s law enforcement leaders, commandeered 2,000 of our state’s National Guard members to deploy on our streets. Illegally, and for no reason. This brazen abuse of power by a sitting President inflamed a combustible situation putting our people, our officers, and the National Guard at risk.
We will not stand by while Donald Trump illegally federalizes the National Guard. This is a manufactured crisis. He is creating fear and terror to take over a state militia and violate the U.S. constitution. The illegal order he signed could allow him to send the military into ANY STATE HE WISHES.
TO OUR TRADING PARTNERS AROUND THE GLOBE — California is here and ready to talk. We will not sit idly by during Trump’s reckless tariff war. We make up 14% of the US GDP. We're the 5th largest economy in the world. We’re not scared to use our market power to fight back against the largest tax hike of our lifetime.
When Donald Trump sought blanket authority to commandeer the National Guard, he made that order apply to every state in this nation. Democracy is under assault right before our eyes - the moment we’ve feared has arrived. The rule of law has increasingly given way to the rule of Don. The founding fathers did not live and die to see this moment. It’s time for all of us to stand up.
Can we all just stop pretending that these raids are all about going after criminals? I’ve met a 12-year-old boy whose mom & dad were detained and he has no one else here. Now, it’s reports of caregivers and the children they are watching being detained at parks in LA. If you’re filled with rage as I am, don’t play into the chaos Donald Trump wants. Please protest peacefully.
