Give Gov. Gavin Newsom credit. You can call it grandstanding and opportunistic, but suing President Donald Trump over tariffs was smart, bold and much needed. Newsom adroitly leaped ahead of other potential 2028 presidential contenders by taking aim through the court system at Trump’s allegedly illegal actions on tariffs. Someone needed to seek a judicial ruling on whether the president can raise tariffs himself without congressional approval.

Thank you, Sen. Feinstein, for deciding to serve out your term rather than resign. Now millions of Ca voters can choose your replacement, rather than just one governor.
Allan Zaremberg was by far the most important, most influential business representative in Ca's capital for decades. And he may have been the most liked because he was gracious, wise and bipartisan in problem solving. An old school great guy.
Recall Xln Sept 14? Too bad not July 14. Sooner we get this waste of time and tax money behind us, the better. Especially for the Ca GOP.
