No Kings Day is almost here.

The Trump regime believes that if it can overwhelm us with atrocities and threats, we'll surrender our rights without fighting for them.

But the people won’t bow down. We will rise. Join us at a peaceful protest on Saturday: www.nokings.org?SQF_SOURCE=i... #NoKings

Vance flies to Indiana to press for gerrymandering instead of trying to head off Affordable Care hits to 86,000 Indianans.

We’re at a critical juncture in our country’s history. We can watch our democracy get ripped away from us, or we can use our First Amendment rights to fight back.

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.

He's In His Coup Era 🏰

Trump is flirting with invoking the Insurrection Act, and when he says he “can do something,” he usually means he's GOING to do it. This week, Stephen Miller encouraged the fantasy of Trump's so-called “plenary authority” to deploy the National Guard in...

Word on the street is that Trump intentionally targeted China with 100% tariffs so Barron could make hundreds of millions in crypto on a short trade.

It worked.

Donald Trump's reckless and cruel leadership has pushed families to the brink.

While he uses shutdowns to scapegoat workers, California is stepping up by providing 248,000 federal workers with critical state protections and relief.

We don’t treat public servants as pawns.

The Washington Post: “Trump administration begins laying off federal workers amid shutdown.”

New — Video shared with me shows ICE officers in DC detaining a man on Friday.
Bystander filming asks man for his name. ICE agent lies and says he's not allowed to speak to him "by law" and another says "We've arrested American citizens for being too close...lf he gets any closer, put him in cuffs."
