I’ve always believed that only Americans can save America from Trump and what he stands for, yet I also know we’ll eventually need some help from the outside.

He can control the DOJ. The IRS. The FBI.
But not the foreign banks about to expose his money trail.👇

Thanks to Donald Trump and his MAGA lapdogs in Congress, the government shutdown is going to deprive millions of Californians in need of their November food benefits.

It is long past time for the GOP to grow a spine, stand up to Trump, and stop endangering people's lives.

Yes, MA'AM!! I was reminiscing abt my visit to the Dallas Black History Museum Sunday as our State Fair shut down that evening. Then, with the non-DEI stance "those ppl" have taken, I feel a section of our WH should be dedicated to all whom "they" deem as less than. 😉😁💯

I'm proud to help lead the United Nations' #COP30 Local Leaders Forum next month in Brazil.

Regional leaders — from mayors to governors — are uniquely able to turn ambitious plans to tackle the climate crisis into reality at the local level.

California is all-hands-on-deck in this fight.

Officer Lauren Craven served her community with pride and dedication. Jennifer and I are heartbroken by her loss. We join her family, friends, and fellow officers in mourning.

Flags at the State Capitol will be flown at half-staff.

GOP Rep Toby Gonzales has REFUSED to address this issue.

Multiple unnamed sources have alleged that Regina Santos-Aviles and Congressman Tony Gonzales were romantically involved prior to her death.
It might upset his wife & 6 kids.
Media- do your job!

The older I get, the more I wonder about a lot of suicides. Now that I've seen how much maga is out there. And poisonings. People who drop dead. Then no autopsy.

Her final words: “I don’t want to die.” Doesn't sound like a suicide. And most wouldn't do it with fire to begin with. Criminal regime.

52 new projects — including the next Jumanji movie, Michael Mann's followup to Heat, and the next film by the directors of Everything Everywhere All At Once — just received the latest round of California Film & TV Tax Credits.

It means $1.4B for our economy and thousands of new jobs.

For the sake of posterity I thought I'd do a thread on all the epically stupid things Trump has done in recent days.

1) Let them eat ballroom

www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

White House begins demolishing East Wing facade to build Trump’s ballroom

The president had claimed construction of the $250 million ballroom wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure.
