what is trump doing that would harm california California officials, including Governor Gavin Newsom, have raised concerns about President Trump's recent tariffs, arguing that they are causing significant harm to the state's economy. The state has filed a lawsuit challenging Trump's use of emergency powers to impose these tariffs, stating that they disproportionately affect California businesses, including small exporters, farmers, and industries reliant on imported construction materials. Newsom has described the tariffs as "wreaking chaos" on families and businesses, driving up prices and threatening jobs2. A federal court recently ruled that Trump exceeded his authority in enacting these tariffs, affirming California's stance that they are unlawful. 1www.desertsun.com 2www.newsweek.com 3www.gov.ca.gov What about defunding grants and money to universities and colleges The Trump administration has been cutting federal funding for universities and colleges in California, particularly targeting research grants and educational programs. Some of the key actions include: Cancellation of STEM Grants: More than $2.6 billion in scientific research grants have been canceled, including funding for CSU Channel Islands. These grants were aimed at increasing Latino and underrepresented minority participation in STEM fields. Cuts to Education Department Grants: Programs like GEAR UP, which help low-income students prepare for college, are at risk of being eliminated under Trump's proposed budget. Lawsuits Over Funding Cuts: UC Berkeley researchers have filed a lawsuit against the administration, arguing that the sweeping grant terminations have led to layoffs and halted critical research projects. Reduction in Pell Grants: The administration is proposing a 15% cut to the Education Department’s budget, including lowering the maximum Pell Grant amount, which supports low-income students. Potential Large-Scale Defunding: Reports suggest that Trump is considering a full termination of federal grant funding for the University of California and California State University systems. California Governor Gavin Newsom has strongly opposed these cuts, arguing that California contributes more in federal taxes than it receives and suggesting that the state should reconsider its financial relationship with the federal government. The administration has justified the cuts by citing financial concerns and policy disagreements with California’s leadership5.
