Secretary Noem should NEVER have been hired in the first place. Today's news is just further distraction and dysfunction brought to you by the Trump White House.
“United across branches of government, we will work together to protect our free and fair elections this November.”
Read the full statement from the Governor, Pro Tem, and me here:
Here's the real #SOTU:
s3.documentcloud.org/documents/27...
Tonight’s #SOTU was one huge, disgusting slap in the face to Americans. Remember: Trump only cares about enriching himself. Don’t fall for his games.
Thank you to the staff, delegates, and everyone who made this weekend possible.
Democrats — let’s get to work! #CADEM
A lot of work goes into the #CADEM Convention, but Democracy isn’t defended in speeches.
It’s all about organizing, voter conversations, and turnout.
If we do the work, we will win back Congress, protect our freedoms, and show this country once again what Democrats can do.
A hero in life and a legend in death, Jesse Jackson’s leadership shaped our America in profound ways for 60 years, and will live on always. The Assembly Democratic Caucus honors his courage and salutes his legacy.
Happy Valentine's Day!
I might not always be up-to-date on the current lingo, but I will always protect reproductive health care.
A timely throwback with @ppactionca.bsky.social from July 2023.

We look forward to flipping the House Blue in November. Huge thanks to every voter who supported Prop 50, every Democrat who put their name to it, and the team that fought to defend it and won. #CALeg #Prop50
“I’m up here as the granddaughter of an immigrant. I’m a product of bravery, and I think those people deserve to be celebrated.” -Olivia Dean, the Grammys Best New Artist
International Holocaust Remembrance Day reminds us where unchecked hate, lies, and political extremism lead.
California’s values are clear: dignity and humanity over fear.
Never Again means acting on those values.
[Continued]
How do we respond when the President turns the power of the federal government against the people of America and against the values of America?
In this moment, we ALL must speak out forcefully to defend what is moral and to defend what is right.
Silence is not an option.

As 2026 begins, I think of my grandfather, who believed hard work could create a better life. Today, that promise is slipping away for too many people. That’s unacceptable. As Speaker, I am recommitting our effort to rebuilding a California Dream that’s within reach for everyone. #CALeg #California
Five years ago today, our nation and our democracy experienced one of its darkest days.
January 6 reminds us Donald Trump loves violence. Violence against those he disagrees with. Violence against the Constitution. Violence against police and others who uphold the rule of law. This November, we must vote to stop him by flipping the House.
Thanks to my request with @padilla.senate.gov, and @lofgren.house.gov, the Energy Department will be auditing Donald Trump’s cancellation of dozens of clean energy projects in California and across the country — cancellations that cost thousands of jobs and will drive up energy bills even further.
The holidays should be a time for joy, not stressing about your pocketbook. Unfortunately, Trump's tariffs are a holiday tax on American families.
Happy Holidays from our family to yours!
Happy Festivus to all those that celebrate!
When Donald Trump cut SNAP benefits, we stepped in -- with a lawsuit, and with funds. I promised to fight hunger, and I won't stop.
The White House and Republicans are out of touch with reality. Americans are seeing prices skyrocket everywhere due to Trump’s tariffs. Rather than solutions, the con man offers lies.

GREAT NEWS: Santa Cruz County is getting more than $1.1 million for newer, cleaner buses! A big win made possible by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law that @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social and I both supported. lofgren.house.gov/media/press-...
The President's 50-year mortgage idea won't solve our housing crisis, only bury families in decades of debt.
California deserves action, not gimmicks. That's why Assembly Democrats are working to expand housing supply and streamline homebuilding permitting.
An important day as we were welcomed by a local Ventura County Farmer this morning to tour his remarkable avocado 🥑 farm. Thank you @caspeakerrivas.bsky.social for organizing this incredible event today! #caleg @asmstevebennett.bsky.social #SupportFarmworkers #teamsoria #StopTheRaids
Our fundamental American freedoms would not exist without those who have stood in defense of our nation. Today, and every day, we honor those who have served.
To every veteran and current service member, THANK YOU!
Nancy Pelosi changed the course of American history. The first woman Speaker: fearless, unbreakable, and always fighting for California families.
She led with courage when it mattered most and proved that strength and compassion can go hand in hand. Thank you, Madam Speaker!
If you or someone you know needs food assistance during the CalFresh/SNAP benefit freeze, help is available. Visit my website for state and local resources, or call 211 to connect with a local food program. (1/2)
The work continues. While MAGA Republicans and Donald Trump use hunger as political leverage, we are stepping up. Thank you Assemblymember Mark González (@asmmarkgonzalez.bsky.social) and everyone who made today’s food drive possible at the East Los Angeles YMCA.
