Shameful.

I’m running for reelection as Chair of the California Democrats.
Over the last 5 years, we have overcome so much together - rebuilding our Party & winning up and down the ballot across California.
I’m proud of all we’ve done together & know there is more to do. So let’s get to work! #rustyforchair
Talk is cheap. It is the way we organize and use our lives everyday that tells what we believe in. -- Cesar Chavez
On #CesarChavezDay, let’s reflect on how we best use our lives in service to uplifting those who need us most.
Tonight Trump & Republicans are going to try and sell their rotten deal for the American People - higher prices, less safety and more tax breaks for the wealthy & well connected.
No one is buying it.

Many of our CA DNC Members are either in DC or en route. Grateful all are accounted for safe & sound.
Trump’s unconstitutional suspension of federal funding will harm so many working families across America - despite the fact that Congress legally appropriated funds for vital services. Now Trump acts like a bully to bring pain, suffering to the America People.
Only one thing to do #StandUpFightBack
Trump’s first week tells us how destructive he will be - pardoning J6 insurrectionists & attempting to end birthright citizenship.
Meanwhile, the price of eggs have only gone up & prescription drugs for seniors will soon cost more.
We can’t stand by. We must push back. And now.
“We shall overcome because the arc of the moral universe is long but it bends towards justice.”

On this day - and especially on this particular day - Dr. King’s words are more important than ever.

15 years.
Forever grateful I get the chance to build this wonderful life hand-in-hand with you.
Happy Anniversary, Sweetheart. I love you. 💙
What an amazing opportunity to attend a White House Holiday Party!
Thank you to President Biden & the First Lady Dr. Jill Biden for the chance to celebrate the holidays in the People’s House. 🎄
Representing @cademocrats.bsky.social at the @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social Executive Committee & discussing the 2024 election cycle.

Another Red-to-Blue flip!
Under the dome of the State Capitol today for the swearing-in of new Members.
Legislative leaders focused the important work to come on improving affordability & protecting the rights of all Californians.
Plenty to do. So let’s get to work!
Grateful. Today. And every day. Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours.

Saddened at the passing of former-Assemblymember Patty Berg.
I got the chance to spend time with her earlier this year. She had a quick wit & was never afraid to speak her mind.
She impacted countless lives & she’ll be missed by so many on the North Coast & across the State. Rest in Peace.
Derek Tran takes a lead of +36 votes in #CA45!
Sounds like Congressmember-Elect is straight ahead!
We cannot spend the next four years obsessed with Trump’s daily silliness.
But his latest picks - Gaetz (Justice) Gabbard (DNI) & Hegseth (Defense) - go beyond silliness.
Downright dangerous.
Congratulations to Dave Min - the next Member of Congress from #CA47!
An important hold for Orange County & Democrats across the State who did so much hard work to win.
Congrats to you all!
Congratulations @mikelevin.bsky.social!

Congratulations to the next Congressmember in #CA27… George Whitesides!
A hard-fought victory that belongs to so many who made this #RedtoBlue flip possible.
Today, we take a moment to honor the sacrifice of the women & men who have served our Nation in uniform.
Now more than ever, we must commit to honoring all they and their families have given - not just on #VeteransDay but everyday.
