  Watch now   Governor Gavin Newsom Taunts Trump in Exclusive Meidas Interview “It’s raining tacos today.” MeidasTouch Network and Ben Meiselas May 30 By Ben Meiselas When a federal court blocks Trump’s illegal economic power grab  twice in two days , it’s worth taking a moment. So I brought in a special guest to help break it all down: California Governor Gavin Newsom. From the top, Governor Newsom said it best: “It’s raining tacos today.” And by tacos, yes, we mean  Trump Always Chickens Out . These rulings—one from the U.S. Court of International Trade and another from Judge Contreras —didn’t just invalidate Trump’s reckless tariffs. They ripped the mask off his so-called “economic policy” and exposed it for what it really is: performative chaos that’s been devastating working families, small businesses, and our ports. In our conversation, Governor Newsom reminded us that California was the  first  to sue Trump over these unlawful tariffs—an...

  All across the country, Republicans are campaigning on a message that their Democratic opponents are soft on crime. Dr. Oz is trying to do it to John Fetterman in Pennsylvania, Ron Johnson is trying to do it, in an undeniably racist way, to Mandela Barnes in Wisconsin and frankly all across the country Democrats are constantly on the defense on this issue. Why? Eight out of the top ten states with the highest murder rates are Republican states. Eight of the top ten! Technically 9 if you include Georgia, which Biden won, but is controlled by a Republican governor and legislature. Look at our state of California vs. states controlled by Republican governors. Take Texas and Florida as random examples. California, lower murder rates per capita than Texas and Florida. California, lower violent crime and property crime rate per capita than Texas and Florida. California, almost two-times lower gun death rate than Texas and Florida. As Democrats, we watch these culture wars take shape on...

  FiveThirtyEight  just reported  “60 Percent of Americans Will Have An Election Denier On The Ballot This Fall.”  This is serious. You and I know that Donald Trump and his MAGA Republicans love nothing more than being the pot that calls the kettle black. So it’s no surprise that while every election denier is a bona fide member of Trump’s GOP, they’re only sinking deeper and deeper into the Big Lie. Take Trump’s words at his latest rally in Pennsylvania. Not his attacks on me personally, of which there were many, but this: “Think how bad they are. Think how  evil  they are…These are bad people.  They’re trying to destroy our country.  And we can’t let it go on any longer… The radical Democrats are engaging in a desperate attempt to keep me from returning to the White House.” Democrats are literally fighting to save our democracy. Trump and his cronies are literally trying to destroy it by overturning an election they clearly lost. We can’t allow ...

  There’s one thing that most prepared me to effectively question a witness during a Congressional hearing: being a mom. Take, for example, when I ask one of my sons if they’ve done their homework. Sometimes you get the ‘Well, I...’ and I say ‘No, the answer is no.’ I still haven’t met a witness or constituent who was as tough on me as my kids. I mean, one of them calls me a “neoliberal.” My time as a professor also taught me how to cut through the BS answers people give. I could tell when students were hungover and hadn’t done the reading, and I can tell when government officials don’t know things they should about the agencies they oversee (looking at you, Postmaster DeJoy). Effectively questioning witnesses isn’t about calling them out for a TikTok moment. It’s about doing my job as a Member of Congress to oversee those in power and hold them accountable. I’m proud to do it, and thankful for my kids and the students who allowed me to sharpen my skills. Katie Porter Katie is runn...
