Trump administration sues California over egg prices, farm animal welfare laws
Briefly

The Trump administration is suing California, claiming that the state's animal cruelty laws have increased egg prices across the nation. The lawsuit argues that California has restricted agricultural production methods that help keep eggs affordable. It specifically targets three state laws on animal welfare and egg production, asserting that a federal law from 1970 should take precedence over these state regulations. The lawsuit emphasizes the inflated costs of eggs related to liberal policies and suggests the federal government will counteract these regulations to restore prosperity. California officials criticized the allegations as misplaced blame.
