Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, sued the Trump administration in U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California over the tariff policy, saying his state could lose billions of dollars in revenue as the largest importer in the country. White House spokesperson Kush Desai responded to Newsom’s lawsuit, saying the Trump administration “remains committed to addressing this national emergency that’s decimating America’s industries and leaving our workers behind with every tool at our disposal, from tariffs to negotiations.”Dear Abby: We thought we were talking privately, but it was caught on her doorbell video Oakland nonprofit ex-director, charged with pocketing $50k donation from Steph and Ayesha Curry, to plead guiltyMiss Manners: What do I say to their implication that my grandchildren aren't real?Bay Area tech staffing firm owner sentenced for visa fraud‘My whole delusion came crashing down’: Stanford grad sent to prison for running meth, cocaine ring that offered puppy time 'My whole delusion came crashing down': Stanford grad sent to prison for running meth, cocaine ring that offered puppy time
