California Sues Trump Over His Unlawful Use of Tariffs -- Again

California Sues Trump Over His Unlawful Use of Tariffs -- Again

We’re suing President Trump, again, for illegally instituting tariffs, again.

American consumers and business owners have made it clear: they do NOT want tariffs.

We’re going to court for those already struggling with rising costs, for our economy, and for the constitutional separation of powers.

β€˜Nazi heaven’: Inside Miami campus Republicans’ racist group chat The chat is the subject of a Florida International University police investigation.

The secretary of Miami-Dade County’s GOP started a group chat for conservative students β€” and within 3 weeks, it was filled with over 400 instances of the N-word, Nazi rhetoric and writings of "dozens of ways of violently killing Black people"

Trump’s War on Iran Could Screw Over US Farmers The Middle East supplies a huge amount of the world’s fertilizer. Conflict in the region has sent prices soaring ahead of the critical spring planting season.

there's a lot going on right now but did you know a massive amount of the world's fertilizer flows through the middle east, and did you know that that fertilizer needs to be shipped to the us *right now* for planting season, and uh did you know we are at war with iran

Trump Lays Out His β€˜Worst Case’ Scenario in Iran Who will lead Iran once the war is over? β€œMost of the people we had in mind are dead,” says President Trump.

When asked on Tuesday who he would like to rule Iran, President Trump responded: β€œMost of the people we had in mind are dead.”

β€œNow we have another group,” he continued. β€œThey may be dead also, based on reports. So I guess you have a third wave coming. Pretty soon we’re not going to know anybody.”

At least 115 people, most of them likely children, were killed in a strike on a girls’ elementary school in Iran on Saturday, health officials and state media said. It was not immediately clear which country hit the school. Our reporters are trying to confirm details of the attack. trib.al/HxXybV9

States Can Block the Paramount-Warner Deal - The American Prospect But thanks to some clever maneuvering, they are already running out of time.

"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal," said California AG Rob Bonta last night. But he'll have to act fast, as Paramount's merger shepherds want to rapidly close the merger and commingle assets before states have a chance to challenge it. Up-to-the minute news on this terrible merger, from me:

So I just got a statement from California AG Bonta's office:
"Paramount/Warner Bros is not a done deal. These two Hollywood titans have not cleared regulatory scrutiny β€” the California Department of Justice has an open investigation, and we intend to be vigorous in our review"

LOS ANGELES (CNS) -- The Trump administration Wednesday moved to join a lawsuit alleging that Los Angeles Unified School District discriminates against white students under its decades-old desegregation policy.

Brought by the 1776 Project Foundation, a Billings, Montana-based conservative group, the federal civil rights suit contends the district's allegedly racially discriminatory policies systematically disadvantage certain students based on the racial makeup of their schools.

Workers are at the side of a field waiting to start picking oranges. The supervisor told them to be there at 10am, but they didn't start work till 11am as there was a wet fog and the packing plant wanted the oranges to be dry. They weren't paid for the hour of waiting. #WeFeedYou

Turning Point USA hosted an event in Alabama recently with two leading abortion 'abolitionists' - extremists who want abortion patients punished with the death penalty.

Legislators in over a dozen states (and counting) have introduced their bills.

This is no longer a 'fringe' movement
