Tariffs are nothing more than a tax on hardworking Americans — driving up the cost of groceries, cars and essential goods.
California stands for the businesses and exporters that power our economy. There’s no economic growth in America without our success.

President-elect Trump’s planned tariffs would have a profoundly negative impact on working families in California and across the country.
Make no mistake: this would be a tax on consumers.

You know what else hits hard? The fact that voters thought it was a good idea to hire a reality show host/bankrupt businessman as President of the United States.

Well it paid precisely $0 in federal income taxes last year.

Les soldates ont été relâchées par le Hamas à l’issue d’une cérémonie à grand spectacle, dans les ruines de Gaza-ville. Une mise en scène visant à démontrer qu’en dépit de quinze mois de bombardements, le mouvement reste le maître de l’enclave. Deux cents prisonniers palestiniens ont recouvré la liberté en échange.
