Republicans declare themselves patriots, then turn around and block the paychecks of the men and women who defend America.

And what’s really wild, some of those same troops keep voting red while getting screwed over again and again.

Let’s be clear:

Republicans are 💯 responsible for the government shutdown. They don’t need a single vote from Democrats to reopen.

Republicans are 💯 responsible for firing thousands of federal workers. They don’t need a single layoff to offset the shutdown. It’s their Project 2025 playbook.

In a heartfelt display of solidarity, a group of Egyptian youth filled bottles with baby formula, rice, and flour, sending them across the sea toward Gaza as a symbol of compassion. Each bottle carried not just aid, but handwritten messages of love and hope for families trapped in hardship.

I’m signing SB 41 to lower health care costs for all Californians.

Alongside the 2025 budget and CalRx, this bill marks the most aggressive effort in the nation to drive down prescription drug prices, boost transparency, and ensure savings reach consumers and families.

Our job is not to throw 15 million people off health care and double insurance premiums for more than 20 million.

Our job is not to shutter community health centers, nursing homes and rural hospitals.

Our job is to fix a broken system and guarantee health care to all.
