WHILE YOUR #1 GOVERNOR, GAVIN C. NEWSOM, FIGHTS GERRYMANDERING, MILITARY ATTACKS ON CITIES & THE THEFT OF DEMOCRACY, ELF HANDS DONNY FIGHTS TOM HANKS, WINDMILLS AND THE VOICES IN HIS HEAD. WE NEED A WHITE HOUSE, NOT A NUTHOUSE. A PRESIDENT, NOT A RESIDENT. (AND NO FBI SNITCHES!)
CALIFORNIA TURNS 175. 🎉🐻 175 YEARS OF INNOVATION, DIVERSITY, AND FREEDOM. WE BUILT THE 5TH LARGEST ECONOMY IN THE WORLD. WE LEAD ON CLEAN ENERGY, TECHNOLOGY, AND DEMOCRACY. TRUMP LEADS ON BANKRUPTCIES AND FELONIES. SAD!
Today, I had the opportunity to meet with the Brighton Park Neighborhood Council and other leaders to support their critical work during this uncertain moment. Let's stand together and we'll get through this, Illinois.
A glimpse into Trump's make-believe world of "giant water valves" in Northern California…
Trump: We sent hundreds of millions of gallons of water per day to the pacific ocean. They turn a valve. The valve heads out. We turned the valve back. I actually had to do it using force.  Gavin Newscum—turn the rest of the water on.
The story of our Golden State can’t be told without recognizing our farmworkers. On California Farmworker Day, we honor the people whose work fills our tables, keeps our economy moving, and strengthens our communities. In the face of challenges, California’s farmworkers continue to nourish our state and our nation, and today and every day, we are deeply grateful.
Gavin and I are heartbroken by the devastating shooting this morning at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis, where children were gathered in prayer during their first week of school. Every child deserves to step into a classroom with joy, and not fear. My heart breaks for the pain of these families. Our love and condolences are with the students, parents, teachers, and the entire community as they grieve this immense loss.
Jen and I are heartbroken and praying for the children, teachers, and families devastated by the senseless and heinous attack at the Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis. We stand with the victims, their loved ones, and the entire community in this time of grief.
Since October 2024, @CHP_HQ’s partnership with San Bernardino has lead to: ✔️ 357 felony arrests ✔️ 1,617 misdemeanor arrests ✔️ 170 DUI arrests ✔️ 145 stolen vehicles recovered ✔️ 82 firearms seized
Where is Trump’s attention to this matter?
California is expanding @CHP_HQ teams in key regions to bring down crime. We've seen what success looks like when investing in strategic community partnerships, and with this next phase, we're continuing the work to improve public safety throughout the state.
74% of Californians back this summer's historic pro-housing CEQA reform law. These groundbreaking changes are working to accelerate new projects and make housing more affordable for all Californians.
We are so back. Film and TV productions are booming in California thanks to our newly doubled @FilmCalifornia Tax Credit. ⭐️ 400% increase in tax credit applications ⭐️ $1.1B in expected economic activity for California ⭐️ Employing 6,500+ cast, crew & more across the state
.@realDonaldTrump turned a booming economy into a stagnant one in record time. His war on affordability and small businesses are having real impacts — from his chaotic tariffs to his job and economy-killing immigration raids. California will continue to fight back.
Over the past six years, I’ve worked alongside community partners like BMU to listen and take action to address systemic and institutional failures.   Six years isn’t enough to make up for two centuries of underinvestment, but we can’t let the past deter us from future success.
According to federal data, 13 of the top 20 cities in homicide rates have Republican governors. None of those cities are Chicago. 8 of the top 10 states in homicide rates are led by Republicans. None of those states are Illinois.  And yet Trump is sending troops here.
I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.
Mis mejores deseos de éxito a la gobernadora y a su administración, pues su éxito será el éxito de Puerto Rico. Que Dios les bendiga y siga bendiciendo a nuestro querido Puerto Rico.
Mami, celebro el regalo que eres para mi vida y toda nuestra familia. Me enseñaste a tener fe, a servir con humildad y a amar sin medida. Estoy agradecido con Dios por permitirnos disfrutar otro año contigo. ¡Te quiero mucho! ¡Felicidades!
