As Governor, I’ll end this cruelty, and fear will not rule California. Fighting means delivering results. The best way to beat #Trump isn’t just stopping #ICE, it’s by making California more affordable. #CADEM #CAgov

We need a proven problem solver, someone who's done it before. We need somebody who will take on Trump and fight to restore affordability in this state. But we also need a uniter…We need someone that focuses on getting things done. And as your candidate for governor, I'll be that. #cagov #govdebate

The scariest thing this Halloween is Trump trying to flip more seats red. Voting YES on Prop 50 is the best way to fight back.

I stand with the nurses and health care professionals at UNAC/UHCP whose contract with Kaiser expired last night and are on the verge of going on strike. I ask Kaiser to negotiate in good faith, as their health care workers are fighting for a new contract that protects patients.

costs double or even triple, putting the costs of insurance out of reach for many. GOPs are showing their true colors – they do not care about working families who are struggling to make ends meet. As governor, I will focus on making sure that healthcare is affordable for every Californian. (2 of 2)

We have an affordability crisis in CA and now #GOPs, who control both branches of Congress and the White House, are refusing to negotiate to extend key funding that would help keep #healthcare costs low for thousands of Californians. As a result, many could see their health insurance...(1 of 2)

US government shuts down with funding deal out of reach on Capitol Hill | CNN Politics The federal government has officially shut down after a deadlocked Congress failed to pass a funding measure to keep the lights on – and no one inside the Capitol knows what will happen next.

We are facing an affordability crisis—all made worse by #TrumpTariffs and now compounded by a reckless gov't #shutdown. With a GOP President and majorities in Congress, Trump and the Republicans are the only ones responsible for the shut down that will hurt all Americans. www.cnn.com/2025/10/01/p...

Trump threatens 100% tariff on foreign-made movies The levy could cause massive disruption to — and confusion in — the entertainment industry.

A 100% tariff on foreign-made films will crush Hollywood by raising ticket and movie prices, slashing American industry jobs, offering fewer cinematic choices, and launching inevitable trade retaliation. America leads by exporting culture, not by walling it off. www.axios.com/2025/09/29/t...

The firing of Californian @jimmykimmel.com represents an egregious violation of the 1st Amendment. In America, free speech is a protected right. When a public figure is fired over their opinions, it reaches a dangerous level of government interference – one of many by the #Trump administration.

As I said in @politico.com last week, Trump has targeted Californians with tariffs, ICE raids, and attacks on health care. Now he’s coming after us through redistricting. If he’s going to play politics with maps, California will fight back — and defend fair representation.

I’m honored to have the support of Barbara Boxer, who was a relentless fighter for California in Washington for 24 years and continues to do so today. She knows I am committed to ensuring that all California remains the golden state where all Californians can prosper.

Bad jobs numbers? Fire the lead nonpartisan statistician and replace her with a loyalist who’ll hide the truth. That’s not how you grow an economy — it’s how Trump covers up failure.

Trump is now targeting UCLA. Will UC follow other elite colleges to appease him? President Trump’s effort to infuse American higher education with his political agenda shifts to the University of California, with UCLA the first target.

Weaponizing the Department of Justice, attacking higher education institutions, and seeking a monetary settlement is simple extortion.

The Trump Administration is once again attacking California by targeting UCLA, my alma mater. Attacking institutions of higher education and withholding funding for life-saving medical and scientific research is a tactic of authoritarianism, and one we must fight – in the courts if necessary.

As the first female Lieutenant Governor of California, Eleni Kounalakis has been a strong leader for California. She is a committed public servant, and I wish her well in her race to become California's State Treasurer.

This administration is once again violating the law. They are tearing families apart and terrorizing communities throughout Los Angeles County. We have a right to secure borders, but not a right to terrorize communities.

The ICE raids yesterday appear to be in direct violation of a court order. Standing and waiting for work as a day laborer is not 'reasonable suspicion' as required by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to stop someone for an immigration check.

They’re trying to rig congressional elections to maintain their grip on power. We can’t let them. Californians should have a say at the ballot box to fight back. Let’s have a vote of the people! I’ll be a YES. We have to fight back against Trump’s congressional power grab.

When non-partisan redistricting was on the ballot in California I supported it because I believe we need less partisanship in politics. But today we find ourselves in extraordinary times. Trump and Republicans are using the nuclear option in Texas to undermine American democracy nationwide.
