Grateful to have @emilyslist.bsky.social by my side in this campaign. Now more than ever, we need leaders with backbone who will cut through the BS and deliver for families.

And there’s nothing that Donald Trump hates more than facing down a strong, powerful woman. 💪🏻

Higher costs mean more stress on families. Elected leaders — from the president on down — should be fighting like hell to make sure every family and worker can afford housing.

Housing is already way too expensive.

But Trump’s new tariffs on cabinets and other building materials will raise housing costs even more.

Tom Homan accepted a $50k bribe. Then, the Trump Administration shut the investigation down.

The lengths the White House will go to cover up their corruption and self-dealing is mind-boggling.

Lying to the American people won’t make this go away—we want accountability.

I’m proud to be endorsed by Congressman Derek Tran. Rep. Tran is a relentless advocate for small business owners, veterans, and hardworking families, and I can’t wait to work together with him to lower costs for every Californian.

RFK Jr’s hand-picked committee just restricted Americans’ access to safe and effective vaccines—for the sake of politics, not science.

Ignoring data and science is absurd, and these reckless decisions could put millions of Americans at risk. www.latimes.com/science/stor...

CDC narrowly avoids making COVID-19 vaccine prescription-only

After a contentious discussion, a key CDC committee voted Friday not to require a prescription for the COVID-19 vaccine and delayed its discussion on the hepatitis B vaccine indefinitely.

Renewable energy projects like this one in Humboldt County create union jobs, lower energy costs for Californians, and fight the harmful effects of climate change.

Trump's decision to revoke funding will hurt our economy and raise costs even more. It's stupid and shortsighted.

‘A new level of idiocracy’: Trump cuts $427M from California offshore wind project

Leaders say the cut threatens jobs, climate goals and California’s clean energy future, even as the harbor district vows to keep the project alive.

Trump's raid and arrest of hundreds of Hyundai workers was breathtakingly stupid. We should be celebrating companies from South Korea and around the globe that invest in our country and our workforce. As governor, I'll fight to bring more investment to California. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/b...

California’s firefighters spend grueling hours on the frontlines, putting their lives at risk to keep our communities safe.

I met with firefighters in Fallbrook recently to thank them for their hard work and hear how we can provide the tools and resources they need to do their jobs.

Trump’s EPA is eliminating reporting requirements for pollution, putting our air and communities at risk.

This is deeply short-sighted and reckless. www.washingtonpost.com/climate-envi...

EPA says companies shouldn’t have to report planet-warming emissions

The announcement amounts to a major rollback that would eliminate the primary means of tracking climate goals. The EPA framed it as a cost-cutting measure.

Great news! SB 79 — which would speed up housing construction in transit corridors — just passed both houses of the CA legislature.

We need more housing in CA — for workers, for seniors, for students, for families. Let's build it!

I'm proud to have the hardworking Teamsters in my corner, and I’m honored to have their support in this race. Together, we will fight for a state where every family, senior, and worker can afford to live and thrive.

A complete and utter failure by the nation's highest court. Mass roundups and racial profiling by unaccountable presidential police violate the constitution and our core freedoms.

This fight will be long — but we can't stop challenging these shameful and idiotic policies.

Thanks, @tiffanymuller.bsky.social & the @endcitizensunited.bsky.social team! Grateful to have your support in this race as we fight to lower costs for working families across California.

Tiffany Muller @tiffanymuller.bsky.social · Sep 5

I couldn't be more thrilled to support my friend @katieporteroc.bsky.social's campaign to become California's next governor.

After @endcitizensunited.bsky.social endorsed her in 2018, she led the fight against corruption in Congress and stood up for working families every chance she got.

California is on track to lose Congressional seats. We are aging as a state—all because we aren’t building housing.

California should be a place where graduates, seniors, families and workers can afford to live and thrive. That will take building much more housing, much quicker.

Happy Labor Day, California! I’m proud to live in a state where workers and unions have secured safe working conditions, fair wages, and good benefits for so many people.

Workers built our economy, and they'll continue to help it grow and prosper.

Californians will not allow Donald Trump to steal the 2026 midterm elections—our best opportunity to stop his abuse of power.

Wake up America!

Trump is trying to steal the 2026 election in plain sight.

First, he tried to gerrymander five new seats in TX—but California fought back.

Now, he wants to eliminate mail-in ballots used by millions of voters.

We'll fight back again—and win.
