Trump is to accountability what Orson Welles was to Pole vaulting

You won’t get back the hours of your life spent watching folks on TV talk about Trump’s trials and how he was finally gonna be held accountable. Or how DOJ was gonna save the day. Trump was NEVER gonna be held accountable. The system was designed to help men like him go free.

In a moment like this, when tensions are high, part of the job of the president is to remind us of the ties that bind us together.

The degree to which those comments can undermine public health, do harm to women who are pregnant, create anxiety for parents who do have children who are autistic – is violence against the truth.

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies.

This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

My statement on Middle East peace
A white graphic with a blue border includes the following text: My Statement on Middle East Peace October 9, 2025 After two years of unimaginable loss and suffering for Israeli families and the people of Gaza, we should all be encouraged and relieved that an end to the conflict is within sight; that those hostages still being held will be reunited with their families; and that vital aid can start reaching those inside Gaza whose lives have been shattered. More than that, though, it now falls on Israelis and Palestinians, with the support of the U.S. and the entire world community, to begin the hard task of rebuilding Gaza – and to commit to a process that, by recognizing the common humanity and basic rights of both peoples, can achieve a lasting peace.

Today marks another first for California!

With AB 1264, the first law of its kind in the nation, we’re banning ultra-processed foods and drinks in our schools.

We refuse to settle for less than what our children deserve.

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 1d
California is the first state to define ultra-processed foods and phase them out of school meals.

DC politicians can talk all day about "Making America Healthy Again," but we've been walking the walk on boosting nutrition and removing toxic additives and dyes for decades.

California has invested a total of $500M for Literacy Coaches in the 2022 and 2023 Budget Acts, funding 818 of the state’s highest needs schools to hire and train reading specialists.

We're making significant investments to provide students with resources to succeed.

California is expanding early education for young children, creating a new grade, Universal Transitional Kindergarten, for all of California's four-year-olds.

Through investments like these, we'll be moving the needle on student academic achievement for years to come.

While Trump and the WWE cofounder seek to demolish the U.S. Department of Education, California is generating K-12 test scores that get better and better.

With universal meals, added literacy resources, and more, we're helping students thrive in and out of the classroom.

Prince and Athena Riley have been serving amazing dishes at LA's JOYCE Soul & Sea since opening in 2023.

With this new legislation, small businesses like theirs can now more easily run outdoor dining and use qualified professionals to self-certify plans for building changes.

For too long, opening a restaurant in CA has meant endless hurdles & delays.

With @governor.ca.gov's signature on AB 671, we’re making it easier for small restaurateurs to turn their ideas into reality — opening doors faster, hiring sooner & bringing new energy to our main streets.
