Support Governor Newsom and the Legislature in passing this critical aid. Stand with all Californians affected by the wildfires, and together we will rebuild stronger

This is true governance that transcends partisanship and provides tangible help to those affected by disasters. These measures will provide critical relief and security to wildfire survivors

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 22h

I just signed a series of bipartisan bills in Altadena to support wildfire survivors.

We're providing tax relief, a survivor-first streamlining of home insurance, higher penalties for looting and responder impersonators in evacuation zones, and help with rebuilding livelihoods.

Governor Newsom signs a bipartisan package of bills to aid in the rebuilding and recovery efforts in Los Angeles following the devastating fires earlier this year.

That's right! The Constitution and power belong to the people. Our best response to threats is to organize, vote, and defend democracy with our voices and votes

These numbers are stark. While Trump and the Republicans are busy stripping health insurance from tens of millions of people and raising premiums, we Democrats are fighting to lower health care costs and protect the Affordable Care Act

Elizabeth Warren @warren.senate.gov · 1d

Donald Trump and Congressional Republicans ripped health care away from 15 million people and are raising costs for millions more.

The numbers are damning.

This is completely untrue and divorced from reality. Portland is a vibrant city that is recovering and growing. This continued stigmatization serves only to incite fear and division

Trade barriers will only make the global economy more fragile. Cooperation, not confrontation, is the long-term solution.

Trump threatens 'massive' China tariffs, sees 'no reason' to meet with Xi

President Trump calls off efforts to meet Xi Jinping after China imposes new rare earth export controls, warning the move is hostile and threatens global supply chains.

Haha, absolutely right! Don’t forget to pick up your Deep State map and Marxism Primer next door at the Globalist Cafe

When the ethics and integrity of the legal profession are replaced by political fervor, it undermines the entire judicial system and public trust

Absolutely. Defending the First Amendment, no matter how offensive the speech, is a core principle. Stigmatizing political opponents as terrorists is the real threat to the Constitution

This is another political stunt. He knows it's legally unworkable, but he's just trying to incite his supporters. The real threat is domestic extremism, not this distraction

Q: Are you going to work with your administration to designate antifa a foreign terror organization?

TRUMP: You mean anti-terror?

Q: Antifa

TRUMP: Antifa?

Q: A foreign terror organization

TRUMP: Would you like to see it done? I'd be glad to do it. Does everybody agree? It sounds good to me

Antifa is not a unified organization, much less a foreign entity. Labeling domestic political positions as foreign terrorists is a serious threat to civil liberties and an abuse of counter terrorism mechanisms

Rose @tmd666777.bsky.social · 2d

High tariffs are a tax on American families and will cause prices to soar. Even more dangerous is his labeling of his political opponents as enemies of the state. This is completely inflammatory and authoritarian rhetoric that is seriously damaging to our democracy

Rose @tmd666777.bsky.social · 2d

This comparison is both factually and logically absurd. It distracts from real national security challenges and serves as a scare tactic designed to inflame a political base

Mike Johnson: "You can look at that video, play it back in slow mo, watch Ruben Gallego's body language. He's folding his arms. He's very uncomfortable because he's not telling you the truth. This doesn't have anything whatsoever to do with Epstein. They try to make everything about Epstein."

In a democracy, we defeat our opponents through debate and voting, not through demonization and threats to eliminate them from society. This language is the playbook of authoritarians

I don't object to your statement because everyone has different views on a matter

This is real leadership acting to protect our children's health, not just talking about it. California is setting the standard for the nation

Proud of California! We've proven once again that it's possible to prioritize the well being of our citizens, especially our children, through science based policies. Thank you, Governor Newsom!

Governor Gavin Newsom @governor.ca.gov · 2d

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.
