The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California, arguing the state's animal welfare law preempts federal law and are therefore illegal and have driven up egg prices.

Former OneRepublic bassist Tim Myers launched his campaign website on Monday and promised to “fight back against the Trump administration’s attacks."

Trump was also quick to criticize the Federal Emergency Management Agency's response to both disasters, and as president, he has said he wants to "wean off" FEMA and phase out the agency in an effort to shift more responsibility for recovery to states.

The Trump administration is suing the state of California to block animal welfare laws that it says unconstitutionally helped send egg prices soaring. But a group that spearheaded the requirements pushed back, blaming bird flu for the hit to consumers’ pocketbooks.

California has increased its discretionary reserves as a direct consequence of Trump’s ongoing threats to FEMA.

In an L.A. park, Trump unleashed his latest show of farce: The Battle of the Photo Op, argues columnist Gustavo Arellano. Elon Musk’s America Party is a long shot, argues columnist Jonah Goldberg. After a climber survived a gruesome injury in the Sierras, it took five helicopters to rescue her.

Republicans have a paper-thin House majority — as demonstrated by the 218-214 final vote on Trump’s high priority bill — and Valadao, Kim and Calvert barely survived past challenges. Valadao first won a congressional seat in 2012, lost it in 2018 and regained it in 2020. He successfully fended off Democrat Rudy Salas in 2022 and 2024.

The Trump administration signaled that it would pursue enforcement actions against the state and previously threatened to cut federal education funds.
