Fewer than 1 in 10 of our Congressional races are considered competitive - in a country that's politically more or less 50-50.

This is madness. And it doesn't have to be this way.

It's time to stand up, talk to your community about what's going on, and show up in numbers to resist tyranny and despair.

Mamdani: I run against a disgraced former governor who, in this moment, has chosen to issue a statement in which he cannot even say the name Tish James, nor the name Donald Trump.

If you cannot say Trump’s name today—how will you stand up to him tomorrow?

Canada’s new government is starting Automatic Federal Benefits. We’re going to pre-file taxes for up to 5.5 million low-income Canadians, so they get the benefits they are entitled to — money that would otherwise be left unclaimed.

Here's the reality: On any given day the President might impose an effective embargo on trade with China. This is the second time he's done it *this year*. They may patch it up again, but the pattern has been set, and it will shape expectations for the rest of his term.

I just approved major pieces of legislation to keep building more affordable housing.

Whether it's turning empty office buildings into residential spaces or building more homes near public transportation, we're doing all we can to lower the price to realize the California Dream.

Just a reminder that the Constitution gives Congress the power to set tariffs. It could end this madness any day they chose to discover their power.

I am expanding access to behavioral health services through newly signed legislation that ensures individuals in crisis receive timely treatment, housing, and ongoing support in coordination with courts and local agencies.

We won't sit on the sidelines to address this crisis.

California is about to 100% replace coal from our state's energy supply.

The 30,000+ megawatts in new clean energy and storage we've added since 2019 is now powering about half of our peak electricity demand.

While Trump bets on the past, California is shaping the future.

I just signed legislation further enabling the development of carbon management projects in California.

This action will create good-paying jobs, put our state on the leading edge of another emerging innovative industry, and aims to help further reduce climate pollution.

Las posibles causas dado su historial, le cambió un par de pastillas que estaba tomando, una le incrementó la cantidad y le recetó una versión más moderna, y otras nuevas para tomar una antes de comer y otra antes de la cena 😋 De modo que a ver si funciona el tratamiento, porque menudo día 🫣☺️
