Sending troops against people exercising their right to protest is not what public safety looks like.

We must stay vigilant and keep fighting to protect our communities and our rights. (2/2)

2,000 California National Guard troops released from duty in Los Angeles Two thousand National Guard troops assigned to duty in Los Angeles more than a month ago after protests over immigration enforcement raids are being released from federal duty in Southern California. ...

The Trump Admin has finally withdrawn 2K CA National Guard troops it illegally deployed to LA to suppress peaceful protests against ICE raids. This was an incredible waste of resources, dangerous abuse of power, & a serious threat to our civil rights. (1/2)

The ASM Health Committee just passed the Defending Physicians Decisions Act!

This bill cuts the red tape for treatments that insurers already approve 90% of the time so doctors spend less time on paperwork and patients get medically necessary care faster.

#PatientFirst #CALeg #SB306

Great news for interim housing! My SB 606 just passed the ASM Committee on Human Services.

This bill has a simple premise: local governments should prove they are utilizing the resources CA provides to them to ensure we reach Functional Zero on unsheltered homelessness, which saves lives. #caleg

Having the support of Sierra Club, one of our strongest environmental allies, shows that we can advance climate action and environmental justice together.

Let’s keep building a clean energy future, California! (3/3)

It will leverage California's clean, cheaper energy against other states' more expensive fossil fuels while prohibiting the importation of fossil fuels in California and protecting our state's climate goals. (2/3)

Big news: Sierra Club CA joined the coalition of environmental organizations, labor, and consumer rights organizations supporting SB 540! SB 540 will create a more reliable energy grid, cut pollution, and help California meet its climate goals while protecting community voices in the process. (1/3)

Happy Fourth of July!!!

Working families will pay for it. California will fight to protect our people, our climate, and our values. We will not let this budget. We are watching Trump and his allies rob the future to enrich the few. (4/4)

Healthcare assistance, mostly through Medicaid, will now face $1 trillion in cuts over the next 10 years. And for what? Tax cuts for already-profitable corporations that are already doing well. (3/4)

This bill guts programs for clean energy, food benefits, medicaid and medicare, carefully craftfully with evin intent. It pours a record-breaking $175 billion into ICE to deport immigrants, tearing families apart to score political points. (2/4)

This budget bill is an abomination. I was on the Hill as a staffer when my member sacrificed her political career to pass a budget that fueled economic growth & led to surpluses. This guts programs for clean energy, food benefits, medicaid & medicare, carefully craftfully with evil intent. 🧵 (1/4)

Huge turnout today for Senstor Durazo’s resolution condemning mass immigration raids in CA. I stand in full solidarity with the Latino Caucus, our migrant community, and the values of our great state. We won’t stand by while vulnerable communities are targeted.

California AI regulations safe after Senate strips moratorium from ‘big, beautiful bill’ In the end, both Republicans and Democrats helped doom a 10-year moratorium on state AI regulation that had previously cleared the House.

I’m encouraged that Congress finally came to its senses and removed the AI moratorium provision from Trump’s ‘Big Ugly Bill.’

This will preserve the work I have been leading in CA on AI regulations, including the most important AI transparency law in the nation.

Here is my statement on the Trump bill that threatens California’s climate leaderships #caleg

Nothing says 'I care about the community' like sending my friend Ray Mueller into the splash zone for a good cause, the Cabrillo Education Foundation . Don't worry—every throw helps charity, and every splash helps me sleep better at night.

Today the Bay Area Caucus released a statement on the immigration raids in California. @buffywicks.bsky.social

Standing alongside my Senate Democratic colleagues on the West Steps of the Capitol, we made it clear: the federal government’s assault on Senator Alex Padilla & its reckless raids on hardworking Californians won’t go unanswered. (1/2)

It’s OUTRAGEOUS that Trump has federalized CA National Guard troops and deployed 300 Marines to LA. This is a dangerous escalation and a direct threat to civil liberties and public safety. (2/2)

Today, the Leadership of the CA Legislative Diversity Caucuses stood united in full solidarity at a packed press conference to send a clear message: We will not be silent. We will not stand by. We will resist authoritarian overreach. (1/2)
