As I’ve been saying, California is just the test case.

California is home to the most immigrants out of any state in the nation.
We also have the strongest economy out of any state in the nation.

If Donald Trump gets away with deploying the National Guard and Marines into LA without clear authority or justification, he won’t stop there.
This isn’t just an attack on Los Angeles — it’s a test run for using the military against any American city he chooses.

Republicans want to overturn half a century of precedent to undermine California’s ability to protect the health of our residents.
Why?
Because to them, it’s more important to appease big oil than it is for your kid to breathe clean air.

As the 4th largest economy in the world, California has proven that you can transition towards a clean energy future AND promote economic growth.
Instead of attacking our clean air standards, Republicans should focus on what’s actually driving up costs and stifling the economy — Trump’s tariffs!
