For decades, California didn't have a statewide policy for reducing homelessness and increasing affordable housing.
Thanks to our work since 2019, we're seeing progress in the levels of unsheltered homelessness and knocking down barriers to building homes for all Californians.

It is a disgrace what Donald Trump is doing in Minneapolis.
It is a disgrace what he's doing across this country, terrorizing our communities.
It is a disgrace what his Department of Homeland Security is advertising.
It is absolute corruption that we haven't seen before in modern world history.

21-year-old activist injured by ICE:
I will be blind for life. I have fractures in my skull that they can't fix. They pulled a piece of plastic the size of a nickel out of my eye. I had shards of metal, glass, and plastic behind my eye and in my skull. They said it was a miracle I survived.

The Department of Justice has sued 24 states and the District of Columbia for access to sensitive voter data on more than 100,000,000 Americans.
My law firm has intervened on behalf of voters to fight DOJ in 23 of the 25 cases. Tomorrow we will do the same in the remaining two. Stay tuned.

The woman killed by ICE today was a poet. She won the 2020 Academy of American Poets, University & College Poetry Prize at Old Dominion University.

This was murder. Trump is defending a murder, a murder committed on his behalf.
America is not being made safe. It is becoming more dangerous each and every day because Donald Trump is a criminal who commands and encourages others to commit crimes on his behalf—as he has done for years.

I am impeaching Secretary Kristi Noem, who is an incompetent leader and a disgrace to our democracy.
She wreaked havoc in the Chicagoland area and has brought her reign of terror to Minneapolis. One of her rogue ICE agents shot and killed an innocent woman today. It must come to an end.

She was a mother of a six-year-old child.

She described herself as a “poet and writer and wife and mom and shitty guitar strummer from Colorado.”
And she was gunned down in cold blood and broad daylight by Trump’s ICE agents.
