California is a global climate powerhouse.
At #COP30 today, I met with leaders from around the world to double down on our work to confront the climate crisis, create good-paying jobs, and help protect Californians from natural disasters exacerbated by climate change.

Yes, Mr. President: You’re right. We do have “the worst health care” of any major country.
Despite spending twice as much per capita, we are the only major country not to guarantee health care to all as a human right.
The solution: Medicare for All.

Sen. Ron Wyden is calling out the GOP for pushing to slip a nationwide backdoor abortion ban into the government funding bill. This is dangerous for women’s health care. We’ve already seen the consequences in states like TX, but I guess the GOP is intent on The Handmaid’s Tale.

Glad @danharris.bsky.social has a friend. But the self congratulatory sanctimony for collaborating to make your highly paid natl media gig a strong show is too much. Your friend claims to represent half the country? No ma’am. Yes to critical debate but some beliefs (Nick Fuentes) should offend.

After voting to give billionaires tax breaks and making health care more expensive, Derrick Van Orden has refused to hold a town hall to talk to the voters he works for in a face-to-face conversation. So, I'm heading to Wisconsin to help give the people he's supposed to represent a voice.

It’s been 45 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona.
Mike Johnson is still refusing to swear her in because she’s the final vote for the discharge petition to release the Epstein files.

Huge night for democrats and democracy tonight. As we celebrate, though, we need to plan forward. We need to avoid complacency, and to be ready for inevitable backlash from Trump and the GOP. We’ll need to work to turn this step forward into the next. Onward.
