California will not let a compromised federal agency endanger our people.

We are partnering with Oregon Governor @tinakotek.bsky.social and Washington @governorferguson.bsky.social to launch a new West Coast Health Alliance in the face of Donald Trump’s mass firing of CDC doctors and scientists.

Trump's transparently Fascist propaganda:

A basic slogan in Fascist Italy proclaimed that “Mussolini is always right.” (Italian: Mussolini ha sempre ragione).

On November 4th in California, you will have the power to stand up to Donald Trump. You will have the power to stand up for people.

We're going to give the people of this state the power to stand up for democracy.

Unpacking Trump’s Order Authorizing Domestic Deployment of the Military The president's move represents an unprecedented, dangerous, and legally doubtful exercise of power.

"Trump's memorandum... doesn’t even mention Los Angeles …federalized Guard forces could be sent anywhere ...where protests against ICE are deemed likely. There is no requirement that the protest involve violence, vandalism, or any disruptive or illegal activity"
www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

Gov. Gavin Newsom made the case in a televised address Tuesday evening that President Trump’s decisions to send military forces to immigration protests in Los Angeles have put the U.S. at the precipice of authoritarianism. https://trib.al/EpbF098

Trump administration looking at $5,000 'baby bonus' to incentivize public to have more children The White House has been fielding proposals aimed at convincing people to marry and have children, an effort being pushed by groups focused on increasing the birth rate.

Draft executive orders have been submitted to bestow a "National Medal of Motherhood" to mothers with six or more children. There is a historical precedent: On Hitler’s mother’s birthday, Hitler awarded German mothers with six children a silver cross, and those with eight or more a gold cross.

Hands Off, downtown LA. Glad to be there!

US importers pay tariffs upfront to the U.S. Treasury. The cost can be passed on to consumers through higher prices.

Republicans have said that revenue from tariffs could offset legislation to cut taxes for wealthy taxpayers.

As a result, money will transfer from consumers to the very wealthy.
