Governor Gavin Newsom

Introducing the world's largest helicopter firefighting fleet — here, in California.

As the Trump Administration turns its back on public safety efforts, we're equipping firefighters with the most advanced tools for wildfire and emergency response.

Our fourth CAL FIRE training center for entry-level firefighters and company officers just opened in Merced County.

Since 2019, we've doubled CAL FIRE's budget, grown our personnel ranks, and rapidly expanded our annual forest management work up and down our state.

Congratulations to the 130 cadets who graduated into their new role as CHP officers and will now be deployed to communities across California.

California is grateful for your service.

This is a grave loss for every American.

Public media has long provided vital information to communities nationwide — especially for rural areas.

Early emergency warning broadcasts can be the difference between life and death when every second counts.

Donald Trump is so scared of the American people holding him accountable for his catastrophic actions, he wants Republicans to rig the 2026 elections for him.

Governor Newsom: Trump has betrayed us with failed economic policies | Governor of California

Layoffs at the highest levels since the COVID-19 pandemic.

A quarter-million fewer jobs added in May and June than initially reported.

And the firing of the official who reported these accurate economic numbers.

While Donald Trump gaslights and golfs, his economic failures are making life more and more unbearable for working Americans.

The "Golden Age" that Trump promised has turned into appalling jobs numbers and paying for his latest tariffs at the checkout line.

Donald Trump wants to live in his own make-believe world where he's not crashing America's workforce into the ground.

Maybe he's too busy daydreaming about his $200M gold-plated ballroom...

As tech continues to evolve at warp speed, we need fresh, thoughtful voices working across disciplines to develop the policies and best practices that meet this moment.

I’m so inspired by this next generation of leaders and public servants. We need them now more than ever!

I met with an amazing group of Stanford undergraduate fellows this week, who are working at the California Department of Technology’s Ethics, Society, and Technology Initiative!

With 16 Fire Hawk helicopters now in operation at @calfire.bsky.social, California continues to grow the largest aerial civilian firefighting fleet in the world.

With the Trump Administration defunding federal firefighting efforts, we're continuing to step up to protect Californians.

54 days since Donald Trump's chaotic, needless takeover of the California National Guard, his political theatrics in LA have blown up in his face.

Nearly every deployed soldier has been allowed to return home. Trump must do the same for the remaining 300 members.

Women and men face different challenges, but there are systemic barriers we can take on together. Whether it’s the shortage of male mental health providers, outdated ideas about care work, or boys falling through the cracks in school, this Executive Order is a step toward real solutions.

Tweet from @WhiteHouse showing a Donald Trump post on Truth Social: "2Q GDP JUST OUT: 3%, WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED! 'Too Late' MUST NOW LOWER THE RATE. No Inflation! Let people buy, and refinance, their homes!"

Donald Trump bragging about "BETTER THAN EXPECTED" results after spending months wrecking our economy is like an F student bragging about getting a D-.

The Trump Administration's half-baked tariffs are destroying supply chains and stabbing American families in the back.

This moment requires us to be prepared to fight fire with fire — and we won't hesitate to act if Texas Republicans move ahead with this ridiculous power grab.

Our kids deserve leaders who will protect their air, their planet, and their future.

California has proven that clean energy and a strong economy can thrive together. We’re proud to be powered by two-thirds clean energy, but watching the federal government abandon progress and truth so recklessly is devastating.

I’m deeply saddened by this administration’s decision to erase science and gamble with our children’s future. Greenhouse gas pollution is driving the very fires, floods, and extreme heat we’re already living through. Now is not the time to look away.

Governor Newsom issues executive order to support young men and boys, address suicide rates | Governor of California

I just signed an executive order to tackle the mental health crisis among young men and boys.

Through a coordinated statewide response, we’re expanding access to education, work, and mentorship opportunities.

Our fight for progress can lift up everyone, together.

A tsunami advisory is in effect for the LA County coastline. Stay safe by staying out of the water and avoiding beaches and waterways.

A tsunami warning is now in effect along parts of California’s North Coast — from Cape Mendocino to the Oregon border.

@caloes.bsky.social is coordinating with local officials. Please stay alert and follow instructions from emergency personnel.

🐾 ⛑️ Thank you to all the first responders deployed by @caloes.bsky.social to Texas following the catastrophic flooding.

All Urban Search and Rescue teams have returned home and we're grateful for their service.

🔥 Fighting fire with fire 🔥
CAL FIRE uses controlled burns to remove fuel and stop wildfires in their tracks. Crews train hard to master this tactic under real pressure.

#CALFIRE #WildlandFirefighter #Training #ReadyForWildfire

In the last year, @calfire.bsky.social crews have worked on prescribed burns of vegetation and dry brush across the state to help prevent future wildfires.

Thanks to their critical work, teams surpassed their annual goal of 50,000 treated acres.

The Trump Administration began betraying Americans by gutting federal disaster response.

Now they're deliberately putting a blindfold on to pretend the climate crisis isn't making natural disasters even worse.

The Trump EPA's idiotic decision to shut down research and revoke the basis of all federal actions to fight greenhouse gases is a punch in the gut.

Americans won’t be deceived by Donald Trump's pathetic abandonment of science and the law.
