Gov. Newsom sues President Trump over tariffs. California is the first state to do so. It’s unlikely California has any standing, but with leftist judges, that is irrelevant.
Newsom’s lawsuit, announced Wednesday morning with California Attorney General Rob Bonta, is the first challenge from a U.S. state against Trump’s signature foreign policy.
California, the world’s fifth-largest economy, stands to lose billions to tariffs, with major state industries from Silicon Valley to agriculture heavily dependent on global trade.
“President Trump’s unlawful tariffs are wreaking chaos on California families, businesses, and our economy — driving up prices and threatening jobs,” Newsom said in a statement. “We’re standing up for American families who can’t afford to let the chaos continue.”
Is the tariff policy too brash to survive a Supreme Court test?

Greasy Gavin is begging the federal government for billions to create Los Angeles 2.0. Meanwhile, he set aside $9.5 billion for the welfare of illegal aliens and is suing the federal government over tariffs. Americans cannot stand to look at this prissy pants fool.
Guess he is starting new ‘fires’ to deflect from the old. The legacy media WILL go along…
I think Gavin is missing the real opportunity here. Complaining along party lines is a fools game. His political career is in shambles. If he wants to rescue his career he should take a new approach. He should dump the far left and enviro nuts and adopt a more centrist strategy. This current plan to divert attention away from the failed response to the LA fires and the gifting of tax dollars to illegal aliens will be a disaster.
Yeah, it’s the “tariffs”, you know, the ones that haven’t been enacted yet, that have turned your state into a third world sh*ithole overnight. Say, aren’t you the same guy begging the administration for $2.8 billion bailout for your state MediCare because you are using taxpayer dollars to cover illegal aliens? After you just got $6.2 billion a few weeks ago? Maybe sell that $9 million dollar mansion you just bought and use that cash to help your citizens.
There is no standing, and no visible harm. US tariffs apply to incoming products. The prices of outgoing products are influenced by tariffs in the receiving nations.
Newsom is making another move to be relevant and a presidential candidate.
Everything about the man is artificial. When I see him speak I am stunned at how obvious it is.
